Fire Scripture Matthew 25:14-23
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 7TH DECEMBER 2023
The third essential ingredient for effective leadership is motivation. Leaders are called to positively influence and motivate people that follow them or work with them. People generally are inspired by a leader’s personality, example and accomplishments.
Motivation is the reason you do what you do. It is the reason you are doing the job you are employed to do presently.
It creates a willingness to expand energy to achieve a goal or a reward. For example, people are motivated to serve God for different reasons. For some, it is the desire to enjoy the love of God and their passion for souls. For some, it is the desire to make heaven, and for some other people, it is the desire to have prosperity.
Good leaders motivate others by imparting enthusiasm in them and causing them to take effective action. They also encourage them to get involved in doing things that will lead to the fulfilment of their team’s set goals.
Good leaders rarely use threat, force or coercion.
Beloved, as a leader, it is your responsibility to find out what motivates each member of your team and use those things to inspire them. Remember that people have the following needs: physiological needs, safety, material belonging (family, church, sports club, alumni association, etc.), esteem, and purpose in life. Leaders should go out of their way to encourage their subordinates to experience self-esteem and purpose in life through Christ!
The Bible encourages motivation. Jesus, our role model, exemplified motivation in leadership. In Matthew 25:23, He said, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the lord.” Similarly, in the Revelation 2 and 3, where He addressed the seven churches, He, on several occasions, commended them for the good things they had done.
Though God has built some needs into us, He is able to fulfil them. Therefore, He is the greatest of all motivators. A leader’s task is to help others find their purpose for living and as a result fulfil all of their deepest needs.
