THE LEADER'S DIARY 

Wednesday 12th October 2016

GREAT LEADERS ARE GREAT READERS

"The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus,when thou comest,bring with thee, and the books,but especially the parchments"_2Timothy 4:13

Great men are not made by anointing but by books.As Francis Bacon rightly said,"Reading maketh a full man;speaking a ready man;writing an exact man." Harold J. Ockenga,who took a suitcase full of books on his honeymoon,had this to say,"Read to refill the wells of inspiration".As extreme as his case may be,the importance of reading can't be overemphasised.

Brother Paul,with all his anointing,still requested for his books and parchments(2Timothy4:13). John Wesley had a great passion for reading and most of it was done on horseback.He rode sometimes ninety and often fifty miles a day! No wonder he was a great transformer.Do you know that Dr. Myles Munroe used to read not less than 24 leadership books in a year?

With all the audio and visual literatures,we have no excuse.If we must become agents of global transformation,the love and desire for knowledge must be a lifestyle. 

Do you desire to manifest as a solution to your generation?Then go and read!
