Spirit of Leadership

THE LEADERSHIP SPIRIT 1. The Creator first established the purpose of whatever he desired to make. 2. The Creator identified the material from which each product in creation was to be made. 3. The Creator directed his creative speech to the material from which he desired the product to be made. 4. The product possessed the same components as the source from which it was derived, and there fore possessed the same potential. From the following creation Scriptures, we quickly notice that everything that lives on the Earth was somehow sourced by the Earth and thus consists of the Earth’s elements: Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bear ing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And God said, “Let the water teem with living crea tures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” So God created the great crea tures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. S OURCE DETERMINES RESOURCE .
