His experience reminds us all to prepare ourselves to weather whatever storms lie ahead. It is the importance, the faithfulness of packing the parachute properly and well. This week I continued a personal study I am making of leadership and was struck by a verse that was quoted in a book I am reading. One of the key characteristics of service is faithfulness. God actively works to shape each leader by ensuring that he is faithful.
Faithfulness is a critical characteristic of every leader.
Faithfulness is crucial. It is a deciding characteristic in a leader in the church and it is also important to all members who are truly serious about being a part of God s kingdom. I believe that Jesus does not just mean faith in the sense of believing, but in being faithful not only to what one believes but also to what that belief implies. Faithfulness is the characteristic of being reliable, unfailing, responsible, steady and sure. You can be counted on.
