Traits of Leader

Isaiah 33:14-16 Gives us the Traits of a Leader that can stand against any challenge.


A True Leader has:
Integrity - The True Leader does what he/she says. 
There is consistency in what they say and how they live.
Justice - The True Leader rejects anything that is not gained honestly
Conviction - The True Leader has values that rise above accepting any kind of bribe.
Positive - The True Leader does not dwell on negative or destructive issues.
Pure - The True Leader disciplines his or her mind to remain clean and pure.
Secure - The True Leader is solid in identity, self and his or her true source of strength.


These may be tough to maintain but scripture tells us that this is the one who will dwell in the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied and water will not fail him.


What kind of Leader do you aspire to be?
