I get annoyed when disorganized people pretend that God put them in charge. I figure that God would equip those whom He has called to be leaders with some managerial skills. Good intentions and vision do not make a leader, just as lack of planning and organization do not equal faith.
When a person is God-controlled, he/she will be under the influence of the Holy Spirit. I imagine that this person would be infused with godly perspective and judgment.
Let’s say I felt called to build a homeless shelter in my town. I definitely don’t have the skills to accomplish this on my own. Yet, if I am completely under the influence of God, I think I would be able to recognize the right people who do have the skills, connections equipment etc. to make this happen.
Or maybe I feel called to write, but I can’t spell or punctuate well. If God has given me access to someone with good editorial skills, I shouldn’t be too proud to beg for his/her assistance.
A person cannot be God-controlled and ego-controlled at the same time. As long as we are under the influence of our egos, we have no business taking on leadership roles in the name of God.
