    About this ebook

    In this life-changing book, Professor Fomum enumerates some pivotal vectors that transform leadership into a revolution.

    The author succinctly brings out
    - the differences between spiritual and secular leadership,
    - the distinguishing characteristics of spiritual leadership,
    - the mandatory perspectives for an impact-making spiritual leader,
    - the steps on how to pass from an ordinary unto a revolutionary spiritual leader.

    The author paints the leader as a model in everything. He is the one who sees what God has in mind and takes the people of God in that direction. Such a leader’s heart is welded to each sheep. A successful spiritual leadership cannot be separated from the production of other leaders. Leadership is the overflow of a person’s devotion to God.

    The author also portrays revolutionary leadership as that leadership whose glory is in its identification with the glorified Christ in His suffering and humiliation, thereby distinguishing it from ordinary leadership.

      Revolutionary Thoughts on Spiritual Leadership - Zacharias Tanee Fomum

      1

      HARD FACTS THAT I MUST FACE

      The future depends on the leadership that is on the scene today.

      The leadership that is on the scene depends on the type of leader that I am and the type of leaders I train.

      The leader that I am today will depend on the quality of my walk before the Lord and the quality and quantity of my service for Him. It will depend on my knowledge of Him and my sacrifice for Him.

      The type of leaders will depend on who is selected for training and the type of training that he is subjected to.

      Imust daily invest all of myself and all that I have in His service.

      I must sacrifice myself and I must sacrifice my all.

      I must practice ruthless discipline on myself.

      I must select 120 people in Yaounde.

      I must select 120 people in Douala.

      I must select 120 people from all over the nation.

      I must fast for them.

      I must intercede for them.

      I must give them all that I have received from the Lord.

      I must make them into disciples.

      2

      LEADERSHIP

      Leadership is conditioned on a knowledge of the

      past,

      present,

      future.

      The leader sees what God sees, what God has in mind, what God wants to do, submits himself to it, and takes the people of God that way.

      … Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed (2 Chronicles 20:20, RSV).

      3

      SUBMISSION TO LEADERSHIP

      Submission to leadership is not based on the leader’s goodness or ability. It is based on a knowledge of God. Those who know God submit instinctively to the leadership that is before them.

      4

      LEADERSHIP AND CURSES

      Everyone who exposes the fault(s) of his leader is under a curse (Genesis 9:20-29).

      5

      LEADERSHIP AND HELPERS

      Everyone who seeks to know the faults of his leader and murmurs against him will not prosper. Such a person has set himself to be a critic and not a helper.

      6

      LEADERSHIP AND SUBMISSION

      Leadership is measured by the extent to which a man is willing to submit to the leadership of another person.

      Leadership is measured by the extent to which a person dies to his own ideas.

      7

      LEADERSHIP

      … Carry them in your bosom as a nurse carries the suckling child, to the land which thou didst swear to give their fathers (Numbers 11:12).

      Leadership is to carry the people in the bosom as a nurse carries the suckling child, to the goal that God has established irrevocably for them.

      I must constantly confess with my lips my need of my

      wife,

      friend,

      co-worker,

      etc.

      A leader grows to the extent that he is ready to expose his need of others. People will follow the leader who makes it obvious that he needs them.

      The leader must know God and the leader must know himself.

      The leader must at all costs keep his eyes on the goal and on the goal alone.

      Spiritual leadership is an ordination to honour,

      power,

      privilege,

      judgement.

      Leadership must be goal-directed and not glory-directed. If the leader is goal-directed, he will not be threatened by the rising of other leaders. If on the other hand, leadership is glory-oriented, it will war against emerging leadership because it will feel threatened.

      When he takes a step he takes everybody with him; consequently the leader must be extremely cautious of his acts.

      8

      SUCCESSFUL LEADERSHIP

      Successful leadership cannot be separated from the production of other leaders.

      A man of fasting without men of fasting is no man of fasting.

      A man of prayer without men of prayer is no man of prayer.

      A minister of the word without ministers of the word is no minister of the word.

      An administrator who has not produced administrators is no administrator.

      In the production of other leaders, there will be the initial attraction followed by sustained increasing acts of greatness; there must be sustained increasing greatness. There must be more sacrifices, more suffering, more praying, more fasting, more giving to God, more giving to man, etc.

      A leader without energy is like a pianist without hands, a runner without feet, or an orator without a voice. The very tool to accomplish the purpose is missing.

      People follow an enthusiastic leader.

      Energy produces enthusiasm.

      The only common denominator of all leaders is energy.

      I owe my success to youth-health; the ability to stand human strain without limit.

      NAPOLÉON

      A real leader must exude energy.

      A real leader must capture the attention of those he leads. Attention requires movement. Movement requires energy.

      The effective leader

      works longer hours,

      reads more voluminously,

      wastes less time,

      lives life optimally,

      glows with energy.

      Energy is the vigorous exertion of power.

      Energy is the capacity of acting or being active.

      A leader’s energy is communicated to his followers through:

      his physical vitality,

      his mental alertness,

      his hard work,

      his commitment,

      his persistence,

      his attention to details.

      THE SPIRITUAL LEADER AND THE FUTURE

      The spiritual leader is essentially a man of the future. He has seen what God wants the end product to be, and he would not have anything less than what God has in mind. Because of the determination to ensure that God has all that He has in mind, a divine strategy is received from the Lord and relentlessly pursued until God has what He wants.

      10

      LEADERSHIP AND GIVING

      Leadership and giving cannot be separated.

      Revolutionary leadership must handle practical issues in a revolutionary way.

      Revolutionary Spirituality and Revolutionary Practicality are indivisible. When God wants to carry out a spiritual revolution, He chooses as leader a person who will be able to develop or cause to develop the structures that will handle the practical aspects of the revolution.

      11

      LEADERSHIP AND PRAYER

      Leadership is produced in the place of prayer. Revelations are received in the place of prayer. Holiness is produced in the place of prayer. Sacrifice is produced in the place of prayer.

      12

      LEADERSHIP AND SUFFERING

      The leader has settled forever that he will suffer.

      Leadership is pain, pain, pain and pain.

      Leadership is agony, agony, agony and agony.

      Leadership is suffering, suffering, suffering and suffering.

      13

      LEADERSHIP AND ENDURANCE

      Leadership is a matter of endurance.

      Leadership and endurance cannot be separated.

      14

      LEADERSHIP AND FINANCES

      Parents must teach their children how to handle their finances and thereby build a spiritual future.

      The leader must
