The Great Leaders Of The World Have This One Characteristic

Nehemiah 6:1-4 - Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates, 2 then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?" 4 They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way.   NASU
 
  • They Stay Focused On Their Goal 
Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem were trying desperately to distract Nehemiah from accomplishing his goal. Great leaders will not be distracted from accomplishing their goals. They know how to stay focused on the task at hand.
 
One thing we must remember not everyone wants us to accomplish our goals. As you read the book of Nehemiah he was always fighting off some type of attack. The purpose of the attacks was to stop Nehemiah from accomplishing his goals. 
  • Life Lesson 
When I was younger in my faith and I would try to accomplish a goal for the Lord I always met some type of resistance. At first, I was always puzzled by the obstacles. I thought because I was doing something for the Lord it should have been smooth sailing.
 
After a few years of reading God's Word and seeing all the men of God who were trying to accomplish something for the Lord or His Kingdom, I noticed they were always under some type of attack from someone. I wondered why God didn't help them and clear a path for them, after all their goals benefited His kingdom.
 
The life lesson I learned is when you establish a goal for the Lord's Kingdom and the devil places all types of obstacles in your way this is how you learn to grow in your faith and really rely on God to see you through this trial.
 
We must never forget God is teaching us to depend on Him.
 
If you do it all by yourself then you receive all of the glory, but if you accomplish the job with God you both receive the glory for a job accomplished. 
  • What Is Your Goal Today? 
Leaders are always setting goals.
 
When you set your goal you should know you will face opposition. There will always be some who believe God has sent them to stop you. The best advice I can give you is what I have learned from Nehemiah.
 
Stay Focused!
Don't Come Down!
Remember You Are Doing A Great Work!
 
Think On These:
 
Remember the steam kettle! Though up to its neck in hot water, it continues to sing.
 
Our Goal should be Service, not Success.
 
A man with a burning ambition is seldom fired.
 
Stay Pumped,
