Leadership is hard, but sometimes we make it more stressful
than it needs to be.
Here are 10 unnecessary stressors:
1. I actually believe the church is MY church and not GOD’S church, and I am in control rather
than HIM (See Matthew 16:18)!
2. I do not trust the people who I delegate authority and responsibility to. And I actually
begin to believe the lie that, “If I want something done right then I must do it myself.”
3. When I know without a doubt what God has spoken to me to do, but I begin to listen to
the “experts” who tell me that the very thing God has called me to do is an impossibility.
4. When I try to explain myself to those who don’t really want an explanation...they just want
to argue.
5. When I refuse to take some time to disconnect and rest, claiming that the devil never
takes a day off while not understanding that the devil isn’t supposed to be my example. (Mic
Drop)
6. When I begin to take on the “Messiah complex” and begin to think about how much the
church needs me rather than how much I actually NEED CHRIST!
7. When I worry about results more than obedience!
8. When I focus on the size of the problem rather than the size of God!
9. When I fail to share my worries and concerns and admit my mistakes to others for fear
that it may make me seem weak and stupid.
10. When I become unaware of HIS presence every single minute of my life!
