The Leadership Kompass

The Leadership Test You’re Probably Ignoring: Financial Stewardship That Actually Honors God Inspired by “Financial Stewardship” by Andrew Wommack Let’s talk about the test many leaders flunk not because they’re not brilliant, but because they underestimate it. It’s not a strategy test. Not a vision test. Not even a character test. It’s a money test. Yes, money. That thing we’d rather keep out of spiritual conversations and leadership retreats. But here’s the thing: how you handle money says more about your leadership than your title ever will. In Financial Stewardship , Andrew Wommack flips the script on traditional thinking around money and gives leaders a clear message: God doesn’t need your money. He wants your heart. And money just happens to be one of the fastest ways to see where your heart really is. Let’s break this down, leadership style.  Stewardship, Not Ownership Wommack reminds us that the earth is the Lord’s, and that includes your income, business...

  Leading with Wealth Wisdom: What Every Leader Needs to Know About Financial Stewardship Inspired by “Straight Forward Financial Growth” by Moses Mukisa Let’s be honest; leadership and money are awkward dance partners. We admire leaders with vision, charisma, and strategy. But the moment we bring money into the room, many leaders stiffen. Some feel unqualified. Others feel disqualified. Many just hope no one notices that their finances are more “chaos theory” than stewardship. But here’s the truth: if you’re a leader, you’re also a financial steward whether you realize it or not. And Moses Mukisa’s Straight Forward Financial Growth is the bold, clear-eyed coaching session many of us never knew we needed. Let’s unpack why... 💡 The Financial Thermostat: Why Your Bank Balance Follows Your Mind Mukisa brilliantly introduces the “financial thermostat” concept. Every leader has a subconscious “money temperature” they’re comfortable with. When money exceeds that level, they tend to s...

The Leadership Heart Test You Didn’t See Coming (It Involves Your Wallet) Why tithing might just be your best leadership strategy yet You’ve read the books, attended the workshops, updated your vision board, and color-coded your planner. Yet deep down, leadership still feels... incomplete. You have strategies, but not peace. Goals, but not flow. What if I told you the real issue isn’t your productivity system, but your priorities and how they show up in your giving? Yep. We're going there. Let’s talk about what The Blessed Life by Robert Morris so unapologetically addresses: Your money. Your motives. And why your leadership might be leaking power because you're holding onto something that was never yours to keep.   The First fruits Test: God’s Favorite Pop Quiz Leadership isn’t just about how well you communicate or delegate it’s about who or what sits first in your life. In Morris’ words, “If God is first in your life, everything will come into order. If G...

  Part 3: The Rice and the Revelation: A Mission’s Closing Blessing “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…” — Zechariah 4:10 (NIV) Saturday morning broke with the sounds of laughter, clinking mugs, and the aroma of breakfast lingering in the Limuru air. As with every mission day, we slipped into our familiar rhythm: sandwiches being crafted with precision, boiled maize (Mutungo) bubbling away, and apples polished for shine. Limuru’s Supa Duka ; a treasure trove of Farmers Choice goodness once again became our silent partner in provision. My teammate Faith and I had somehow became unofficial ambassadors of the town. We’d stumbled upon hidden shops and secret stalls tucked between quiet corners and welcoming smiles. If loyalty points existed, we’d own stock. Lesson One: Be friendly. Locals often hold the keys to efficiency, wisdom, and deep humanity. Our morning mission took us to Kwa Mbira, a place with a name echoing history a...

Limuru Mission – Part 2: The Chapati Chronicles & Divine Detours If Day zero was God flexing His divine logistics, Day 1 was His way of saying: “Now, let’s get cooking—literally and spiritually.” The day began with holy chaos. My two-year-old decided sleep was optional. By the time he was ready to drift off (after treating me to a midnight  special), it was nearly morning. With about two hours of sleep and a prayer that sounded like, “Lord, let your energy be my espresso,” I was up. Barely. While waiting for my mission crew to arrive, I did the final check: Shopping—done. Sanity—pending. Toddler—asleep. Holy Spirit—fully on duty. In 25 minutes flat, we were in Kabuku Prayer and Mission Centre. A record, considering Nairobi traffic can sometimes feel like a 40-year wilderness journey. Then again some roads and curves are worth knowing! We arrived, and the “this is real now” moment hit like a cold Limuru breeze. This would be home for the next four days. And oh, what a ...

Limuru Mission Part 1: When God Laughs at Your Plans and Then Outdoes Them Action Group Leader: “So, there’s going to be a 4-day mission—destination to be confirmed—either Meru or Limuru.” Me (in silent prayer, crossing fingers and toes): “Please Lord, Limuru. It’s closer. I have a toddler. I’d like to still be married by the end of this.” That, dear reader, is how my journey into divine logistics and divine comedy began. Initially, the plan was Meru. Then— hallelujah, glory to God in the highest —the mission changed to Limuru. My selfish prayers were answered. Don’t judge me. I wasn’t praying for spiritual elevation through discomfort. I was praying to be able to go on mission and still make it back in time to catch Cocomelon and Superbook reruns with my two-year-old. Fundraising & Fasting: One Felt Holier Than the Other We were required to fast and pray (check ✅ ), and also fundraise (umm … let's talk). Every message I sent for support was met with the classic ...

Build People, Build Nations: Leadership Lessons from Tom Deuschle’s "Building People, Building Dreams" “Any vision that is worthy of heaven will suffer an attack from hell.” – Tom Deuschle What happens when one man listens to the whisper of purpose and says yes, not to comfort, not to fame, but to a vision far bigger than himself? You get the story of Tom Deuschle, a man who left the United States in 1979 to serve a broken, war-torn Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). A place not many were flocking to. A time few would have chosen. But Deuschle didn’t just go to preach sermons, he went to build people. And in doing so, he helped build a nation. Leadership Beyond Titles Leadership is no longer just about titles or corner offices. As Building People, Building Dreams shows us, true leadership is the courage to say yes when the path is unclear, and the commitment to invest in people over time. Tom didn’t arrive in Zimbabwe with a five-year business plan and a megachurch bluepri...
