William Booth on the importance of Leadership
“IF THE OFFICER is a coward, those whom he commands will be cowards. If he is holy, they will be holy. If he is a man of resistless courage and daring, they will be like him. Our responsibility for success or failure is therefore enormous. Where we are successful we are not only gaining victories to-day, but making the conquerors of the future. Let us remember—we shall have to give an account of our stewardship; we are passing over, one by one, to that great Tribunal…The words, “Behold I come quickly,” are ever sounding in my ears.”
“The Seven Spirits” is an excellent series of addresses William Booth gave to his Officers in 1904 where he bares his heart, sharing seven key truths for effective ministry:
• The Spirit of Divine Life
• The Spirit of Holiness
• The Spirit of Devotion
• The Spirit of Light
• The Spirit of War
• The Spirit of Faith
• The Spirit of Burning Love
This is an amazing book that will challenge you out of complacency and into wholehearted zeal and service for the Lord. Passionate, personal and just as practical today as when it was first given!
