READ: Ephesians 6:5-8
“But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.” – Galatians 4:18
To be able to make people carry out your wishes even when you are not present with them is an art every leader must master. Without this ability, you cannot lead many people. After all, how many people are going to remain in your presence all the time?
Consider these keys to make people obey you when you are not present.
Teach about the need for loyalty. When people are loyal to you, they love you and try to do what you want, even when you are away from them. In addition, teach people that they are dealing with God and not with man. God is everywhere and sees everything we do. When people are aware of this, they will try to live in the right way.
Teach people that they will be promoted directly by God and not by man. When they understand that God is the one who will bless them, their attitude will be the same whether you are in or out of their presence. You must train your staff to understand that promotion does come from God (Psalm 75:6). They will not need to see you to be motivated. They know that the eyes of the Lord are everywhere.
As soon as you get a revelation of the fact that you are dealing with God, your life will change forever. If you want people to follow you and obey you, even when you cannot see them, teach them this great principle: It is God you are dealing with (Hebrews 4:13).
Become a leader who is obeyed whether seen or not seen.
