00:00Welcome, dear brothers and sisters, to our eleventh leadership training session.
00:19In this talk I will discuss the temptations a leader might face when in a leadership position.
00:25managing their work team, which if we are not aware of them could
00:33falling into them and ruining all the work that may have been achieved with the team we have
00:41It is important to understand that a leader must be prepared to hold a high position without success guaranteeing it.
00:49Destroy it, why? Because leadership comes with three key advantages.
00:57Number one position: you can reach higher; number two power: you can do more
01:10Number three privilege: you can get more of each of these things, and they are a legitimate benefit.
01:20The extraordinary effort and work you have put into becoming a leader offer you leadership rewards.
01:28a better position with more power and greater privileges, but equally all of them
01:38They come accompanied by temptations great enough to cause the leader's downfall if he misuses them.
01:48Paul's advice in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 is very applicable to them at this time.
01:57Verse 12 So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall
02:04Unfortunately, it is very common to see leaders fall because they have misused these privileges.
02:13When we get to Enemiah chapter 5 verse 14 we see that Enemiah, 12 years ago in the position of
02:24The governor of Judah and those who came before him misused the power of privilege and of
02:32The positions favored their selfish interests, but enmities changed this situation
02:39The purpose of the following points is to consider how temptations occur and how to deal with them.
02:47in order to share experiences so as not to repeat this fatal mistake
02:52First you will be tempted to misuse your position. Enemies chapter 5 verse 15 we find
03:03In contrast, the governors who came before me were a burden to the people, because daily
03:11They charged 40 silver coins for food and wine; the predecessors of Enemías had made some demands
03:21Few royalists charged the people taxes, imposed unfair burdens, and had no understanding whatsoever.
03:30Because of their situation, those men had literally abused their position; perhaps we have had to see
03:40situations of something similar, someone you know from work, someone you used to have lunch with and joke around with.
03:47and that when he received a promotion he suddenly became a petty dictator
03:53Power suddenly transforms him; he begins to treat others with contempt.
04:00He starts making excessive demands that demoralize people.
04:06Suddenly acquired power can cause this to happen
04:11As a second point, you will be tempted to abuse power later in the same verse 15 of
04:21Chapter 5 of Enemies also says that his employees oppressed the people, but I did not do so out of respect for
04:31God, even those dictators had adopted the lifestyle of oppressive leaders; they were autocrats to the point of being so.
04:41His servants had become petty despots and were openly misusing their power
04:50There is a big difference between being a boss and being a leader
04:55Those people had been placed in leadership positions
05:00But then they had misused their position
05:03and abused his power
05:05Nobody likes working for a domineering leader
05:10a person whose favorite words are
05:13Do it because I tell you to do it
05:15Tyrants demand without ever explaining
05:18This is not leadership.
05:21as a third point
05:24You will be tempted to profit from your privileges
05:28When "enemías" refers to the tax that was due to me as governor
05:33It suggests that the governor had an unlimited spending account.
05:39definitely
05:41The food he received was a sign of gratitude.
05:45But his predecessors had misused that privilege.
05:50enemies 5 15 says
05:55Instead, out of fear of God, I didn't do that.
05:59Enemías was an extraordinary leader
06:02He was not a conformist
06:04and it didn't follow the expected patterns
06:07that made it so different from its predecessors
06:12during the period
06:15In what enmities was he governor
06:17We see the following data
06:20He never received a salary
06:22never used an expense account
06:25He refused to demand taxes
06:28He refused to buy land for profit.
06:31He paid his servants out of his own income
06:36so that they could do public works
06:38and fed more than 150 people daily with his own funds
06:44How many leaders come to mind who have done this?
06:48How many leaders in your community or group?
06:52You have seen that you have practiced this model
06:56How many leaders do you know who have voluntarily rejected the opportunity?
07:02to obtain material gains
07:04Let's reflect
07:07It's very complicated for a leader
07:09that has reached the peak
07:12resist temptation
07:14the privileges
07:16They appear when success arrives
07:18and the opportunities to abuse their position
07:21They are very generous
07:23however
07:25the leader's integrity
07:27must prevail over temptation
07:31the fear of God
07:33It is their priority
07:35and just cause
07:36to achieve God's purpose
07:38for his life
07:40It is their desire
07:41Are you willing to follow the model of enmities?
07:45When will success arrive?
07:49How to maintain integrity
07:51How should a leader handle situations of temptation?
07:57the experience that the people of Judah lived through
07:59with the previous governors to enmities
08:02It was disastrous
08:04These leaders, when they reached the top
08:07they were tempted
08:09to abuse their power and authority
08:11to such a degree
08:13who imposed exorbitant taxes
08:16But as if that weren't enough
08:19also their servants
08:21They adopted the same attitude
08:23further oppressing the people
08:25with the benevolence of their masters
08:28What was the secret of the enmities?
08:32What prevented him from abusing his power?
08:35of his position and his privileges?
08:40number one
08:41Let's review what Enemy does
08:45You need to go deeper
08:48your reverence towards God
08:50Enmities had more interests
08:53in pleasing God
08:55than pleasing himself
08:57says
09:00But I, out of fear of God
09:02I didn't do that
09:03What does that reverential fear of God mean?
09:08first of all
09:10The leader has that fear of God
09:12when he is aware
09:14that only God
09:16He placed it in the position
09:17leadership
09:18enmities
09:20never forgot
09:21who had been God
09:22who sent him to Jerusalem
09:24with the mission
09:25to rebuild the walls
09:26The leaders realize
09:30who are just stewards
09:32They understand that the world
09:34It's not theirs
09:35They're just people
09:37the stewards
09:38the janitors
09:40managers
09:40of God's properties
09:42the promotions
09:44They come from God
09:45and not from the people
09:47in second place
09:49There is reverential fear of God
09:51when it is understood
09:52that He
09:53He's going to demand answers from us.
09:55enmities challenged
09:57those who were abusing
09:59of their neighbors
10:00asking them
10:01Shouldn't they show
10:03due reverence
10:04to our God?
10:06The Bible says
10:08that the beginning
10:09of wisdom
10:10It is fear
10:11of the Lord
10:12one of the reasons
10:14for which so many
10:15people think
10:16that can leave
10:18with his
10:18and keep doing
10:19what they shouldn't
10:20because they don't have
10:22fear of God
10:23they think they can
10:26playing with fire
10:27and never burn
10:28in parallel
10:31we need to understand
10:32what we found
10:34in the letter of Saint Paul
10:35to the Hebrews
10:37in chapter 13
10:38verse 17
10:39says
10:40obey your leaders
10:42and submit to them
10:44because they take care
10:46without rest
10:47of you
10:47knowing that they have
10:49to be held accountable
10:50bye
10:51try
10:52do their work
10:54pleasant
10:54and not painful
10:55well, the opposite
10:57it wouldn't be
10:58of no benefit
10:59for you
11:00there is no authority
11:03given by God
11:04that he doesn't come
11:04accompanied
11:05responsibility
11:06This too
11:08It is part of
11:09of reverential fear
11:11towards God
11:12even though the leader
11:14He has to answer for it.
11:15of his leadership
11:16likewise
11:17must understand
11:18that must be held
11:20to their leaders
11:21immediate
11:21This is part of it
11:24to maintain
11:25a deep
11:26I respect
11:26towards God
11:27It's not about
11:29of being a leader
11:29and nothing more
11:30We have to learn
11:32to submit
11:33to the authority
11:34hierarchical
11:35of our church
11:36how many times
11:37we have seen leaders
11:38what they want to do
11:39things
11:39in their own way
11:40without authorization
11:41from your parish priest
11:42or its coordinator
11:43godlike
11:44or simply
11:45abandon
11:46your responsibility
11:46of leader
11:47because they didn't like it
11:48the instructions
11:49from your parish priest
11:50or coordinator
11:51when a leader
11:53be tempted
11:54of being self-employed
11:55to possess
11:57the absolute truth
11:58It is important
11:59remember
12:00what it tells us
12:00the word
12:01in the first letter
12:02to the Corinthians
12:03Chapter 15
12:04verse 10
12:05But I am what I am
12:07because God
12:08He was good to me
12:10and his kindness
12:11for me
12:12It has not worked out
12:13in vain
12:14on the contrary
12:15I have worked
12:16more than all of them
12:18although it wasn't me
12:20but God
12:21in his kindness
12:22It has helped me
12:24as a Christian leader
12:26we must recognize
12:28that all that we are
12:30and what we have received
12:31of God
12:32It is because of His mercy.
12:34His grace
12:35It has not been sterile
12:36as Saint Paul says
12:37It has been God
12:39for his kindness
12:40the one that gives us
12:40grace
12:41and the talents
12:42never forget
12:44Dear leader
12:45that your position
12:46It's not about privileges
12:48It is for service
12:49And that is grace
12:51of God
12:51the one that helps us
12:52at all times
