MFM Devotional Tuesday 1st November 2022 OUTLINE

One of the factors that enhance leadership effectiveness is delegation. There is an old adage that says, “If you want something done right, you must do it yourself.” Although this may sound true in some cases, outstanding leaders get work done through others.

Delegation is the act of empowering others to accomplish a task. Whether you are a leader in your home, at work (career or business), in church or some other spheres of influence, you need to acquire and use the skill of delegation. You will record greater success, to the glory of God.

Delegation has its root in Scripture and it is useful in helping to raise leaders, build morale and give others in the team a sense of responsibility and belonging. In Genesis 1:28-30; 2:15-20, God delegated authority to Adam and Eve. He gave them the responsibility to work and take care of the land. He gave them the authority to rule and to subdue. He also held them accountable for their actions.

Great leaders in the Bible like Moses, David, Nehemiah, Jesus Christ and the apostles used this principle of delegation to achieve huge success in their divine assignments. Our Fire Scripture for today reveals the application of the principle of delegation during Moses’ time as Israel’s leader.

After Moses had led the children of Israel out of Egypt and they were in the wilderness, journeying to the Promised Land, he found himself labouring from early morning until late at night, attempting to solve the numerous conflicts that arose among the people (Exodus 18:13-16).

Moses had unintentionally become a workaholic. When Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, a priest of Midian, saw Moses’ workload and stress, as he attended to different cases from day break to sunset daily, he knew that his style was wrong and unsustainable. He called Moses aside and gave him some invaluable counsel about the principle of delegation. The five principles that Jethro introduced to Moses are as relevant today as they were then.

Beloved, the job of the leader is to ensure that all the work gets done – not to do it all by himself or herself. Learn from Moses’ mistakes and turn a new leaf today.
