Great Leaders Delegate Leadership

Team:

Today in the One Year Playbook we learn of a situation when Nehemiah was out of town. While he was out of town the enemy snuck into the house.

As Leaders we need to remember when we are out of town the enemy tries to sneak in and tempt our team. This may be applicable to family, business, team ect.

Here Nehemiah was away. He was not only responsible for his Team in Jerusalem but also Team in Babylon.

The enemy (Tobiah) knew when Nehemiah would leave and took advantage of it.

The interesting thing is the enemy was inside the city gates.

"Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah, 5 and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.

 6 But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission 7 and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib had done in providing Tobiah a room in the courts of the house of God. 8 I was greatly displeased and threw all Tobiah's household goods out of the room. 9 I gave orders to purify the rooms, and then I put back into them the equipment of the house of God, with the grain offerings and the incense."
Nehemiah 13:6-9

Friends, Steve Ferrar calls it Point Man. We have to Man the Post and protect our family. To do this we need to be home. If we can't be home we have to delegate to Junior to make sure things are going smooth.

Remember everyone is a 360 Leader. We must be or the enemy will sneak in.
