Leadership Attitude

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “Leadership Attitude,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that leadership is not a title, gift, or anointing first—it is maturity of attitude. From Colossians 3:23–24 and Galatians 4, he shows that many believers remain “heirs behaving like slaves” because they refuse to grow up in character. Long prayers, gifts of the Spirit, visions, and miracles can accompany maturity, but they are not proof of maturity—attitude is. He exposes childish reactions like anger, unforgiveness, pride, blame-shifting, gossip, entitlement, and waiting for human reward, showing how these keep even anointed people living below inheritance. Apostle Sydney then walks through everyday maturity markers: doing all things as unto the Lord, forgiving quickly, refusing offense, honoring parents without superstition, speaking truth without malice, avoiding class-based pride, treating people kindly, walking in love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. True leadership shows up in the home first—in how one treats spouse, children, and responsibilities—before ministry or public honor. This message calls you to drop excuses, reject childish reactions, and consciously adopt the attitude of those who truly serve Christ and lead by example, proving maturity not by power, but by character.
