Chuck Holton: How to Become a Leader?

By A Voice of Hope

HOW TO BECOME A LEADER
Chuck says, “Being a leader is really much more about being a servant. It’s about dying to the things that I want and providing for the needs of my family.” So many single guys spend their time looking for the right one, a woman that will make them happy. They are doing it all wrong.

The one question single men should ask themselves is, “Am I the right one?” You become that man who will attract the woman that you need, says Chuck. As a single man, you spend your time becoming the right one.

Many men feel they deserve to be happy. “Says who?” While we all want to be happy, you don’t deserve to find a spouse who makes you happy. This is a selfish way to go about finding a mate. Ron explains, “You deserve to live up to your obligations. You deserve to live out the mission for which you were created.” By doing this, it will provide more fulfillment in you than any other way you are seeking.

A true man is going to try to live up to the standard of manhood outline in the Bible. This standard starts with submitting to your creator and his purpose for your life. Most of the time we as men offer nothing to the Lord except those things which are just worthless to us. Ron says, “We give God the scraps of our attention instead of giving him the majority of our heart.” When we give God our whole heart, we submit ourselves to Him. Then we get a great power that the Holy Spirit gives us to take dominion over the world around us, to subdue it and turn it to a good purpose.

Chuck says the foundation of manhood can be summed up in the acronym “shape.”

S = Submission
H = Honor
A = Assess
P = Perish and Provide
E = Engage

In the Bible Paul says, “I buffet my body and make it my slave so that I won’t be disqualified when the time comes.” Every athlete competes and exercises disciple to earn an earthly crown. We do it for something eternal. A man has to exercise mastery over himself before he can take dominion over the rest of the world.

As for women, Chuck says, “It’s vitally important we train our daughters to recognize a true man.” A woman needs to learn these five steps to manhood. He can be the nicest guy on the planet but if he is not submitted to his creator you don’t want him. He will be the end all and be all of his own existence and you’re a toy that he’s trying to collect. A guy that is following those five facets of manhood is going to be passionate about his life. He’s going to be passionate about the purpose of which he was created and that passion makes him powerful.
