The Leadership Principle of Influence: God Uses Rahab

By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:31 The story of Rahab proves that God can, and will, use anybody. This woman worked as a prostitute in Jericho as the Israelites approached the city. Although the Hebrew spies needed someone to help them scope out the best approach to conquering the city, there seemed little logical reason why Rahab should have been considered for the role: 1. She occupied no position and held no official title in the city. 2. The Israelites looked upon women as lower class citizens. 3. As a prostitute, she held an even lower social rank than the average woman. But because leadership depends less on titles than it does on influence, God chose Rahab. She helped the spies by her quick wisdom, gutsy style, and clever plan. By doing so she saved not only her own life, but aided in accomplishing the purposes of God in Jericho. The name “Rahab” even occupies an honored place in the Hall of Faith as one of Jesus’ ancestors. Real leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.

Profiles in Leadership: Rahab – An Unusual Woman of Faith

The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country.” Then the woman took the two men and hid them… Joshua 2:3-4 God uses individuals of all temperaments and backgrounds to accomplish His purposes – even prostitutes. God strategically positioned Rahab, whom the Bible calls a prostitute, in a home built into the wall of Jericho. When two Hebrew spies came to her for aid, she displayed a clear understanding of spiritual issues. She described how the dread of Israel had overcome her people. She acknowledged that the land belonged to the Israelites and therefore willingly risked her life to hide Joshua’s spies. Rahab leveraged her hospitality on behalf of her parents, siblings, and their extended families, begging the spies to spare the lives of all who belonged to her. They agreed. Rahab was a woman of her word. Although she could have tipped off her king to the whereabouts of the hiding Israelites, she sent Israel’s enemies on a wild goose chase. Why? Because she really believed that God was about to hand her city over to the Hebrews. Even prostitutes can exhibit saving faith. Wise leaders remember that God sees the human heart. While many would never trust a woman with a personal history like that of Rahab, God selected her. Because Rahab faithfully served God, her family lived and was adopted into Hebrew society – and she became the ancestor of the Lord Jesus Himself.

The Leadership Principle of Timing: Joshua Begins with a Divine Call & Charge

God speaking to Joshua: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Joshua 1:5

Consider this: It took 40 years for Joshua’s leadership style to match the need of the moment. Moses led diplomatically. He sat and judged the people patiently as they grumbled through long years in the desert. By the time the Israelites reached Canaan, fierce enemies awaited them – and they needed a much more confrontational leader, a military man skilled in war. Joshua enters the scene. Note the differences between Moses and Joshua and see how timing can dictate appropriate leadership styles:

1. Moses led through 40 years of desert travel. Joshua led through 30 years of conquering Canaan.

2. Moses was a political, diplomatic leader. Joshua was a military, in-your-face leader.

3. Moses patiently listened to complaints. Joshua confronted laziness and fear of the enemy.

4. Moses led the people as a peacemaking shepherd. Joshua led the people as a tough commander.

5. Moses provided water from a rock when the people got thirsty. Joshua told the people to dig their own wells when they got thirsty.

When the right leadership style and the right timing come together, incredible things happen. Great leaders learn to take the right action at the right time.
Does your leadership style need to adapt to new circumstances at this time? Have you been having trouble “getting traction”? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

The Leadership Principle of Legacy: Success Without a Successor Means Failure

Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.
Deuteronomy 31:7

Just before he died, Moses formally presented his successor, Joshua, to the people. Moses had been mentoring him for years in preparation for this day. Knowing that he would not be able to enter the Promised Land himself, he realized he had to prepare the next leader to finish what he had started. Note what Moses did for Joshua:

1. He convinced the people that the new must replace the old.

2. He reminded them of God’s commitment to fulfill His promise.

3. He endorsed the new leader and passed on his authority to Joshua.

4. He forecasted victory under Joshua and cited his track record.

5. He commissioned Joshua with the task of leading the people into the land.

6. He directed Joshua to read God’s Word repeatedly.

A leader’s lasting value, his legacy, is measured by succession. A legacy is created only when a person puts his organization into the position to do great things without him.

Is your organization (your company, your family, your ministry) ready to do great things without you? Have you been preparing your successor(s)? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

The Leadership Quality of Vision: Moses Enables the People to see the Future from Two Angles

If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth… But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you…
Deuteronomy 28:1&15

Most of the Israelites preparing to enter the Promised Land had grown up in the wilderness and had never seen the miracles in Egypt. Moses recognized this new generation needed fresh inspiration, and so cast a vision of their future. Moses knew that their prosperity depended far more on a healthy spiritual condition than on military prowess. He therefore exhorted them to grow in their knowledge of the Lord, to trust His holy nature, and to obey His commands.

The vision Moses cast that day looked quite different from anything most leaders have communicated since then: he cast vision for what life would look like if the people obeyed God fully. He told them they would enjoy blessings and fruit beyond what they needed. They would receive favor from neighboring peoples and enjoy great prosperity. They would grow healthy and strong.

But Moses also cast vision for how life would turn out if they failed to obey. Not many leaders do this! From then on, the people could see clearly the blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience. Moses graphically described both in his speech.

That’s the power of vision, from two angles. Such a vision helps people sort out what they will do, because they can think with the end in mind.

How’s your vision: For your family? For your area of responsibility in your community or at church? Do you need to improve your vision casting ability? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

Managing Time

But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness to pray.
Luke 5:16

Did you know there are cultures in the world that don't have a word for "minute" or "hour"? They simply have no need or desire to measure time in such short increments. Nor do they attempt to maximize every second of every day. Filling their lives to the brink would be unthinkable. Sound too third-worldish to you? Isn't it easy to see how such words are not necessary in places where people grow their own food and rarely venture beyond their own village?

I'm not suggesting that we all move into the woods and live off the land. But I am encouraging you to consider the benefits of pulling the throttle back just a notch and embracing a more contemplative lifestyle. When you allow yourself time for creative solitude, you can see God at work and begin to rediscover life in all its richness. When you give yourself the necessary time and space to seek clarity, gain perspective and ponder decisions, you find more to savor, enjoy and appreciate.

As I reflect on these two different approaches to life - the rushed and the restful - I force myself to ask, How did Jesus live? Was He frantic or steady? Was He checking the sundial every few minutes, wishing He could cut some time off His commute to the next city? Or was He able to stop and tend to the needs of those around Him?

Jesus had more pressure on Him than any of us can fathom. His own disciples were always peppering Him with questions. The Pharisees wanted Him dead. The crowds wanted Him king. Many pressed against Him, wanting to be healed. Yet He got alone to pray. To think. To be strengthened. He sought His Father and enjoyed Him in the quiet moments of life.

Is your life overcrowded with stuff – each one important in its own right? Would you find it difficult to select an area to eliminate? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

Profiles in Leadership: Moses – The Confidence of God’s Presence

The Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Deuteronomy 20:4

It’s always a good idea to have a battle plan if you intend to lead an army into war. Moses possessed an incredible plan for the army of Israel, a set of instructions that came straight from the top – the very top! Imagine the confidence a field commander could instill in his troops knowing that he could not lose. Yet that was the kind of guarantee that God gave Moses and the people of Israel.

How astonishing this must have seemed. For at the time God issued His battle plans, the Hebrews hadn’t even settled in their own land, let alone set up a line of defense. Furthermore, the Lord guaranteed His people that they would face military forces far more formidable than their own. Yet God assured them they had nothing to fear – as long as they remembered that He remained with them always, as He had since the day they left Egypt.

Leaders today can bank on the same promise that gave Moses such courage: “The Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” And so God gives us the same encouragement that he gave to Moses, “Do not be afraid.”

Who are your ‘troops’: your family, your employees? Do you have a ‘battle plan’ for leading your troops? Do you have confidence that your plan is the right one? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

The Leadership Principle of Navigation: Moses Provides Future Direction

You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Deuteronomy 16:18

Much as America’s forefathers assembled the U.S. Constitution, Moses furnished clear guidelines for his nation’s future. One chief difference: Israel was to live under a theocracy, not a democracy. The nation was to be lovingly ruled by God, not by the whims of the people. Ponder the genius behind the structure and navigation Moses offers in Deuteronomy chapters 16 – 25:

1. He established seven annual feasts to remind the people of their mission - the “big picture.”

2. He appointed judges for each tribe, furnishing leadership at the local level.

3. He specified the civil duties within the community, creating the values of justice and social order.

4. He communicated the criteria for top leaders, casting vision for leadership with integrity.

5. He organized offerings for the priests and Levites, thus establishing priorities.

6. He established cities of refuge, esteeming the qualities of grace and mercy.

7. He set boundaries for national defense, teaching Israel to trust God and not themselves.

8. He addressed crimes and moral failure, setting establishing and communicating consequences prior to criminal acts.

9. He established tithing to the Lord, teaching stewardship as a top priority.

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a true leader to chart the course – to set the vision and develop the plan to attain the vision. How are your ‘navigation’ skills? Is this an area where you need to focus more? Could you use some assistance in developing these skills? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location.

From the Tangible to the Eternal

What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Mark 8:36

God has created us to live in two worlds, and while the spiritual is most important, our culture tends to value the intangible. We devote our time to making more money, and we spend our money getting more and more stuff. Some of us use our wealth as chips to show we’re smarter and sharper than others. We want to win, and possessions are the way we keep score. Others, though, don’t really care what somebody else has. They just want as much as they can get to make their lives as pleasant as possible.

Jesus made the stark, sobering observation that the value of a single soul is greater than all the gold, oil, real estate, jewels, stocks, cars, and everything else of value on the planet. Jesus died to rescue our souls from eternal death. He died for our family members, our neighbors, the cranky old guy down the street, and the natives in the middle of the Amazon basin.

Albert Camus once said, “The meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.” Therefore, one of our most important, and yet one of the most difficult, tasks is to shift our attention from what is visible to what is invisible, from the tangible to the eternal, from what will rust and rot to what will last forever. Souls are that important.

Does the lure of “stuff” have its grip on your life? How does it tend to control, or at least shape your life?

The Leadership Quality of Servanthood: A Word Study & Word Picture

The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.
Deuteronomy 15:15-17

Scriptures use several terms that we translate as “servant,” each one presenting a slightly different picture of the heart of a servant. What can a leader learn from these terms? Plenty – remember Jesus forever linked leadership with servanthood. Check out the following ancient Hebrew words from Scripture to see what can be learned about true servant leadership:

1. Ebed = a slave. This term describes someone who is at the complete disposal of another. Likewise, leaders must be at the disposal of their Lord and their people.

2. Abad = one who gives up personal rights in order to work in the fields of the tabernacle. In a similar way, leaders must sacrifice their rights and stay surrendered to the cause.

3. Sakyir = a hired servant who gets the work done no matter how long it takes. This leader is willing to go to extraordinary lengths because he loves his people and is committed to their mission.

4. Sharath = someone who will perform menial tasks to accomplish the overall goal. Leaders must do whatever task it takes to serve the mission.

True leaders must never forget that God calls them to serve. If our Lord could wash His disciples’ feet as a lowly sharath, then we must be willing to become an ebed.

It Can Wait – Or Can It?

Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.” So Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” And Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
Exodus 8:9-10

If we want to delay making a decision, we can always find an excuse. And some of us are professional excuse-makers! After all, we might not want to decide today because:

• The situation might change

• The problem might completely go away

• Somebody may come up with a better solution

• We might win the lottery or a tornado might blow us away – either way, we won’t have to make the decision any longer!

Sometimes we put up with an incredible mess because we are afraid of making a mistake. During the plagues, God sent frogs to torment Pharaoh so that he would set God’s people free. One or two frogs would not have been a problem, but millions of them – in your clothes and squished under your feet – are a huge problem. Moses offered to stop the plague, but Pharaoh said, “Well, let’s wait until tomorrow.”

Certainly, we need to think through decisions so we choose the best option, but sooner or later, it’s time to act. Procrastination is paralysis by fear, not astute planning. Abraham Lincoln once said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” If you regularly have difficulty making decisions, look below the surface to identify your fears, and then address them. Until you do, you’ll be spending a lot of nights with the frogs.

Is there something in your life today that you have been procrastinating about? Is there an underlying fear that needs to be addressed? Truth@Life can help you, regardless of your location. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a free consultation.

The Leadership Quality of Generosity: A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another

At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts.
Deuteronomy 15:1

God instructs His leaders and the entire nation of Israel to imitate His generosity and grace. At the end of every seventh year, every Israelite was to cancel all His debts owed by fellow citizens. If they would indeed cancel all their debts, model graciousness and forgiveness, and care for the poor, He would favor their land with abundant crops and freedom from invasion. Imagine that – they simply had to trust that God was in control and let Him worry about rain and sun and fruitful harvest times!

If great leaders err, they do so on the side of generosity. They are givers, not takers. They are motivated to:

1. Serve Others – to help them grow and thrive.

2. Solve problems – that prevent potential from being reached.

3. Save Causes – that benefit mankind.

God’s instruction provides us with a reminder of the nature of true leadership. We don’t keep score with people; we just keep on giving.

Are ready to trust God to take care of all your needs? What do you need to do today to model greater generosity in your life?

The Leadership Principle of Connection: God Touches Their Hearts First

What does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 10:12

As the Ultimate Leader, God directs His people to obey Him. But He doesn’t simply demand obedience without giving sufficient reason. The Lord provides a good rationale for His people to obey Him. He reminds them that He first touched and blessed them. A leader touches the heart before He asks for the hand. Once that is done, the only proper response is loving obedience.

God’s people were to follow His leadership because of:

1. Personal Relationship - God communicated His powerful nature, yet personal love for the descendants of Abraham.

2. Past Record – God reminded the people of the miracles He performed to rescue them from Egypt.

3. Promised Results – God predicted continued blessings if the Israelites would remain faithful.

4. Powerful Redemption – God underscored His plan to bless their families and possessions.

As a leader, people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. Higher level leaders have built their leadership on relationships and trust. Do you need to reach out and touch the hearts of those you desire follow you? What would that look like today?

Humble Leaders Alone Receive God’s Grace

Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers.
Deuteronomy 8:1

We all need occasional reminders that it is God who gives His people any power and position they may come to enjoy. God commands His people to remember His blessing in both bad times and good times.

Because that is true, humility is the only appropriate attitude for leaders, as well as followers. God constantly reminds us of the following:

1. The privilege of being a chose people – God will lead and provide for us.

2. The price of being a chosen people – we must rely on His provision, not our own.

It is easy for leaders to succumb to the conceit that they pulled off some sort of victory or objective. Instead, they should acknowledge that the success came to them from God. God gives grace to the humble, but opposes the proud. This is the only way to cooperate with the Lord.

The Anointing and Commitment of a Leader

The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you…
Numbers 22:6


The Old Testament consistently speaks of leaders “anointed by God”. Moses was the first such leader in Israel. The anointing represents God’s intimate presence and enabling power. But what determines God’s anointing on a person? Here are some criteria for anointing another person with leadership.

A leader must:

1. Obey and teach the people to obey God’s law.

2. Desire and pursue the outpouring of the Spirit.

3. Actively build up Christians.

4. Recognize that God is the source of his blessing and authority.

5. Use his influence for the Lord and not for selfish or evil reasons.

6. Avoid glorifying the anointing more than God Himself.

7. Give himself freely to the work of the Lord.

8. Appreciate and guard the anointing.

Good leaders also model commitment before they ask anyone else to do so. God promises to keep His commitment to His people “for a thousand generations”. He reminds them that He didn’t free them because they deserved it or because they were the largest nation on earth, but because he loved them.

Do you need to do a better job of modeling commitment to those you lead? Is there a lesson you can use right now from the criteria for anointing leaders that will help you to select the right person to empower for leadership and/or to build your “inner circle”?
