*DAILY DEW 8/FEBRUARY/2023* *THE THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE IN EVERY TEAM* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Only 300 of the men drank from their hands. All the others got down on their knees and drank with their mouths in the stream. The Lord told Gideon, "With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home." So Gideon collected the provisions and rams' horns of the other warriors and sent them home. But he kept the 300 men with him. The Midianite camp was in the valley just below Gideon."* (Judges 7:6-8 (NLT)) _Bible Insight:_ The job of leadership is to identify those with passion for the vision, and empowering them to do better. This is usually done by removing or reducing internal negative influence on one hand. And on the other hand, by giving the motivated members more room and tools to express themselves. *2. The Motivated and Passionate People:* These ones are the motivated and passionate members of the team. They go the extra mile and they take the work as a personal business. The wins of the team are considered a personal achievement while the losses of the team are considered by a personal loss by these set of people. They are out to succeed and to labour until they get the mission accomplished. They don't accept no for an answer and they don't give up at the slightest provocation. On the contrary, they lose their comfort and will never rest until the purpose of the team is achieved. They take personal joy and fulfilment in depriving themselves for the sake of the general good of the group. They see opportunity in every difficulty, and they turn every excuse to uses. They don't wait to be motivated or encouraged,they are self motivated and self encouraged. They are ever ready to sacrifice in order to see the success of the team. They are the sort of people that every leadership desires and delight to have. When you have such, treasure them and as much as possible, remove everything that can become an encumbrance in their way, especially administrative wise. Rather, give them more feathers to fly. Like Gideon, collect "the provisions and rams' horns of the other warriors", and give such to the motivated and passionate few. These are the kind people that God delivers the victory to any team, church, organization, etc. The tower of babel project was comprised of such people until God came down to divide them through language barrier. Except God stops such people, any team or group or church or organization with these kinds of motivated and passionate members and workers always stands out as a successful one. _MEDITATION:_ *"Make up your mind, if you will join any group, belong to any church, or be a part of any organization, ensure you are the motivated and passionate type in the group. Otherwise, do them a favour and stay away, and save the leadership and the rest of the team, the avoidable trouble."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
