1 Corinthians 9:27 New King James Version || But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
In the context of one leading him or herself, I will define a leader as someone who has an agenda and is able to make people accomplish it. A leader should possess some qualities; a leader cannot and should not live a normal life as anybody lives in this current generation. Leaders are purposeful, with an aim or vision, and always on an agenda to achieve something.
Our parents or mentors will not always be around us, to tell us what to do, if even we have that tight relationship with the Holy Ghost as I always advocate; we will have to decide if we should obey His voice or not, everything depends on us.
A leader should be a person of discipline, because the body will always suggest something negative to us to be done which should not be done as a person with a vision or a leader. You should have a vision in life; devise strategies that will lead you to the accomplishments of that vision.
Apostle Paul says I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, after I have preached to others, I myself should not become disqualified; this is the key to any leader in this life. The body will always suggest the opposite that will make us do the contrary to the word or the Spirit of the living God. Leadership should be seen at all levels of our lives as children of God.
Declaration
In the Name of Jesus, I lead myself and others with the leading of the Holy Ghost, amen!
