Kingdom leadership isn’t about short-term wins—it’s about generational legacy. Discover how to lead with vision that outlasts you.

Are You Thinking Like a King?

In Scripture, we see this kind of long-term vision in King David. Though he longed to build the temple, God told him it would be his son Solomon who would complete it. Instead of giving up, David spent his latter years preparing the resources, plans, and people so the next generation could run further than he ever could (1 Chronicles 28–29). David wasn’t just leading for his own lifetime—he was leading with legacy in mind.

As leaders, it’s easy to be consumed by the urgency of what’s directly in front of us—the next Sunday service, the next project, the next crisis. But kingdom leadership requires a higher perspective. Kings lift their eyes beyond the immediate and ask: How will what I’m building today impact the next generation?

When we lead with generational vision, our leadership shifts from being about quick wins to creating lasting inheritance. We begin to think not only about the fruit we can see in our lifetime, but the seeds we are planting for those who come after us—our children, our spiritual sons and daughters, our cities, and even nations.

May we be leaders who don’t just run fast—we run far. May our ceiling become the floor for those who follow us, and may our vision carry the heartbeat of heaven for generations yet to come.
