Seven Tests Every Leader Must Face Dr. Bobby Hill

Every leader will face tests. Passing the test qualifies us to move up to the next level of leadership

1. The Test of Maturity  Includes the testing of our heart, character, obedience, and faithfulness.  Genesis 24  Dt 8:2

2. The Test of Calling  Every leader’s calling will be tested  Different kind of callings – Self-appointed – Man-appointed – God-appointed

3. The Test of Faith  Hebrews 11:6 – faith pleases God  James 1:3 – the testing of your faith

4. The Test of Opposition  Criticism, betrayal, division, disloyalty  Ezra 4:4  Acts 13:8  How should we handle? II Tim 2:25

5. The Test of Delegation  Exodus 18; Jetro and Moses  Delegate or stagnate  When do we delegate a task?  II Timothy 2:2

6. The Test of Servanthood  Matthew 20:25 – Jesus cancelled the legitimacy of secular leadership styles.  Leaders must learn to serve.  Serving means putting the interests of others ahead of our own. Phil. 2:1-9

7. The Test of Identity  The Performance Trap: if I perform God accepts me.  What is my security based on? – My success or results? – Christ finished work  We must redefine success.
