Devotional 11: Presidents, Kings, Princes, Ministers and Leaders.

"So Saul said to his attendants, "Find someone who plays well and bring him to me."
One of the servants answered, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him."
1 Samuel 16:17,18

Devotional 11: Presidents, Kings, Princes, Ministers and Leaders.

"Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who knows how to play and is brave and strong, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person; the Lord is with him. "
1 Samuel 16: 17-18
Let today number the qualities of a President, King, Prince, Minister and leader who wants to be a blessing to his people and nation:
1) Can you play the lyre
2) I am brave man
3) vigorous
4) War man
5) Prudente in words
6) Gentle presence
7) The Lord is with him.

Qualities of King David that transcends time and space.
If you seek for your personal, political and administrative these qualities, do not say that everything will be solved, but I assure it will very soften his career and life, since it will prevent problems of our own making, when we act moved by feelings that obscure our eyes.
So what are these characteristics to me and you ?:

1) Can you play: That is to say, he knows his job. David had skill at what he did. I was ready and able to exercise their office. Always try to improve. Always try to recycle. Be updated, is tuned not to miss the good of the land.

2) It is brave Do not running the difficulties. But did not run after them as well. David was brave, not bully. Not intimidated but not humiliated anyone. As he said he was not running behind problems, but if they came to him, he responded in kind.
He said that one day a bear attacked a flock of sheep, he took him by the Baraba and killed him. A lion also attacked the sheep symbolizes his people, he faced him, did not back down and killed him. One bear and one lion, no longer come back to attack his people, others could come up, but they would know that they would have to face the brave!
3) vigorous: That is, he is always ready to do their best. This is the example. The leader is the first to arrive and the last to leave. But it is also the first to be able to have time with your family and for your rest. I remind you the words of my Lord Jesus:
"What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, (President, United, leadership, ministry), and lose ... (his family ???).

4) War Man: Ready to lead the battle. When injustices, when terrorists, when evil wants to enter its doors, the leader is prepared. Even if he does not like the war you must be prepared to lead. If God put you there, God will enable him to lead his people.

5) Prudente in words: David could speak at the right time and had the right word for the moment. We've all seen how many international disasters is given by a word out of turn or given at the time of strong emotion. Let us be restrained in words.
"Man is happy to answer well, and how good is a word spoken in due season! Proverbs 15:23."


6) Gentle presence: When he came all rejoiced. HE was the feast of joy. It's sad when someone comes and they all say: The party is over, the guy has come!
But it's great when our presence glad to friends and future friends you will, just by their presence.

7) The Lord is with him: This is for me the main point. He demonstrated in his life that God was with him. The person looked and said, My friend, you see? David slew the giant ... Only God can do that!

People saw that much of his accomplishments could only have been done with the help of God. Let God be God in your life. Let your face shine with the gentle presence of your love. The Lord is with you one hundred percent. Peace.

Profeta Rogério Oliveira
