Direct in the manner of God
Source
Although Gideon wisely refused to serve as king of Israel, when he died, his son Abimalech got assassins to kill his brothers in the hope of taking the government into his hands, Jotam, his younger brother and the only one who could escape, climbed the Mount Gerizim and prophesied that a kingdom founded on sin would soon undo, and three years later, that same thing happened
Gideon understood that God wanted Israel to be a theocracy (God as king)
It is important to note that even though Abimalech had a natural charisma, he did not have the mind of God, nor was he appointed or anointed by Him
Consecrated leaders do things God's way, evil disqualifies a person for that type of charge
The leader who seeks to benefit himself, at the expense of others, is on the path of self-destruction, in contrast to his humble father, Abimalech was ambitious, he believed that the end justified the means
God judges leaders, not in terms of what they achieve, but in the way they do things.
Humility is the recognition of the importance of God directing in its own way and not in the way of man, it is the recognition that every good work and act of justice that we perform is a fruit of the action of God through ourenergetic expression of trust and faith
@ taty17 is necessary to direct in the manner of God, because he honors good decisions and obedience and this highlights the traits of a true leader, Gideon warned the Israelites that neither he nor his son would be their lord, stressed that it would be the Lord Jehovah who would rule over them, and it would be God who would manifest as King
The way to do things is important, because God does not judge by achievements but by actions
