Why Wisdom is the Principal Trait Among Today’s Most Successful, Powerful Leaders
Since 2016, my leadership platform has worked in conservative politics. Anyone within this industry knows politics is brutal, bloody even if we let it.
Politics is business, a cutthroat business, one that entails forceful acquisition of power on behalf of those who know how to play its game.
For the vast majority of those functioning at the higher echelons, power acquisition requires individual wealth. This is why you see the wealthiest in society functioning within the political space (think Donald Trump, Elon Musk, etc.)
But to the masses who can neither afford such power acquisition, politics is a game of charity, one in which the people see government as a malevolent benefactor when they give government their votes.
Entering this political scene — more specifically the conservative space — was by divine appointment. In other words, I make no secret as to Who brought me here for a specific purpose. Quite often, I tell my Beloved audience on Twitter, God the Holy Spirit led me to this place to bring His Children a message about the pure Kingdom of God. And since that time, I have “acquired power” in conservative politics, albeit not in ways most people think.
As a result of remaining steadfast to that mission, God has elevated my platform, my voice, and my influence in this space. My purpose is to be a blessing to all who follow me or who hire me as their leadership coach.
But functioning in politics comes with its spiritual challenges. For one, this man-made “kingdom” operates by its own “principles” and standards.
Be cutthroat
Do harm unto others before they do unto you
Lie and cheat to get ahead
Backstab where you can, but only at the right moment
I think you get my drift, Beloved.
Politics is brutal and cutthroat. And at times, many of God’s Children find themselves compromising their core spiritual beliefs just to obtain power in these conservative streets. And I imagine you will find similar behaviors in the industry with which you work.
The question is, how does a rising leader reach the heights in the social, political, or economic sphere while keeping his soul?
The answer is found in the Ancient Texts. Recall the time when God asked Solomon what he wanted after being anointed as the new king.
Solomon’s reply: “Wisdom.”
According to Proverbs 1, Wisdom is the principal trait among successful, powerful leaders. Wisdom is the Spirit of God, and to know the Spirit is to know the mind of God. Wisdom (as Solomon alluded) grants benefits to all who call upon Her: wealth, health, power, strength, insight, and more.
Another way stated: To know the mind of God is to flex in your leadership as a person from another world. God will cause you to see matters from His perspective. He will lead you as you face challenges in your industry. He will give you creative ideas that have been hidden to others.
In essence, when you make Wisdom your Guide and Partner, She will take you to heights beyond your wildest dreams.
Today, seek Wisdom. Whatever She tells you to do, do it.
For when we learn to do things God’s way, we ALWAYS get His results.
Until next time, Beloved, be blessed.
And as always, let’s grow together!
