IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: Innovative Leadership

HOME BIBLE STUDY. 
A Guide to Effective Leadership

Devotion Twenty-Seven

Scripture: Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men. Proverbs 22:29

I have never seen an innovator lacking favour and support from even the poorest. Innovators are always smart and organised strategically, and they attract attention from the public. This is because people want to learn new things that they do not know. Innovative strategies are essential for effective leadership, as they enable leaders to excel in their plans and development.

In our local church, we had difficulties meeting for Bible studies and prayer devotions as agreed. Time was unfavourable; members cited busy schedules as their excuses and ultimately never turned up for weekly devotion and Bible studies. After thorough research and prayerfulness, we organised home-to-home Bible studies (Bible Meeting Movement, BMM) instead of having the program at the church. Within a month, the number of members attending Bible studies increased gradually because they had no escape as we moved to their homes.

In leadership, it is the leader's responsibility to be innovative to stand out effectively before the church or the people. Leaders should encourage adaptability and openness to new ideas, creativity and risk-taking, and foster innovations within the church or organisations. If leaders are not innovators, they are likely to be condemned by the church or the people they lead; their legacy may fade into obscurity.

As we reflect on the principle of innovative leadership, what areas do you need to improve? What significant lessons can you apply in your leadership? Take charge and be innovative. Do not stick to one approach of leadership because it will make people paralysed and withdraw their enthusiasm from you.

Father God, thank you for reminding me about being innovative to inspire others. Help me to foster creativity and openness to ideas and encourage the culture of adaptability and risk-taking. I believe in your guidance and trust your Word. 

Amen.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
