© EFFECTIVE BOOK SERIES *VOL. ONE: Effective Leadership* _Seven Pillars of a Prayerful Leader_ 1. `Place of your Planting:` God's place of abode is a celestial invisible place called heaven. Everything or Everyone has a place of being planted. A tree seedling can't take root and grow into a forest if it is transplanted recklessly. It must be planted in one strategic place for all its life. Only then can it colonize a territory. *•Eccl. 10:4* 2. `Place of Sonship:` The Godhead represents the full person hood of the mystery of God. You can only understand and have a genuine relationship with God by a recognition of the three distinct persons of God the; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 3. `Place of Radical Generosity:` God is love. Love gives. Love is other centric not self conscious or self centric. Acts 10 teaches us through the life of a gentile _(one not meant to receive God's blessing at the same time with the Jews)_ named Cornelius. That our prayers must be buttressed by giving and doing good to others. 4. `Place of your Assignment:` Blessed be the Word of God forever. God's Word will not return to Him void. It is destined to fulfill it's intended purpose. Likewise, you are created for a purpose. You are from the same incorruptible seed of God's Word. As a result, you are destined for a purpose here on earth and in the one after. 5. `Place of Unceasing Communion:` The devil's primary strategy is to drive a permanent wedge between you and God. Because apart from GOD is death. No one is immune to straying away from God. It requires extreme diligence to safe guard your 'Place of Unceasing Communion' with God. *•Psalm 1:1-4, Luke 22:14-16* 6. `Place of Transformation:` Just as; 'water is wet, sugar is sweet, fire is hot and God is love. So will being; ¹Planted, ²Embracing your identity of Sonship in Christ, ³Walking in your Assignment, ⁴Practicing daily radical generosity and ⁵Staying in unceasing communion will lead to one thing- *⁶Transformation:* _which is the manifestation of God's grace and glory on earth through a person._ 7. `Place of Multiplication:` The disciple whom Jesus loved exhorts us in John 15:16 to bear much and lasting fruit. Leadership is influencing others to collaboratively devote; their Time, Resources and Abilities towards a shared clear vision of a better future. The pinnacle of Leadership is to raise others like you or for people to voluntarily aspire to become like you. _Written by,_ _Pr MU, WH Wandi_
