Have you ever seen a fat doctor? You wonder, how come they don't follow their own advice? Many doctors are specialists in a particular area and their main problem is the very thing that they specialize in.
It makes you wonder how did they ever get good in the area that they specialize in. But doctors all over the world are solving problems, helping people get healed, and advising people to make changes that will have a lasting impression on their lives.
I was thinking of the recent stories in the news, of a few pastors that have gotten into trouble over bad decisions and unacceptable actions. We have a lot of "Fat Doctors" in ministry and leadership.
People who are good at teaching others what to do, but not following the teaching themselves. What has happened that as leaders we have become comfortable with "selling" what we have not "bought" yet ourselves?
In leadership, we become so consumed with helping others and seeing results, that we forget to stop and take the "pills of principles" that we prescribe out daily to others.
How much more effective would we be if all our words were confirmed with actions, that show the instructions we give to people really work?
I challenge those who are in leadership, ministry, and positions of influence not to be "Fat Doctors".
