Building a Legacy of Impact: 5 Foundational Lessons from My Father, Bishop Tudor Bismark
Pastor Lauda L. Vongai | Jabula - NLCC Chitungwiza
There are countless things I have learned from my spiritual father, Bishop Tudor Bismark, that have transformed not only how I view ministry but life as a whole. I am one of many privileged to have a Dad who leads from the front, exhibiting true servant leadership and becoming a personal role model. Despite his global accomplishments, he has never lost his sincerity or dedication to his call. In this article, I will share five of these foundational principles, hoping they bless you as they have shaped me.
The 5 Foundational Principles
One of the most transformative principles I learned is to think beyond myself. Life is more than the immediate. This means considering the impact of my decisions on my children (born and unborn) and the generations that will follow. Responsible leaders build for those who are not yet here (Proverbs 13:22). This principle demands that we act with diligence, knowing our actions will multiply in the next generation.
Integrity is a firm adherence to a code of moral values—it is incorruptibility and completeness. My Dad taught me that we must sow seeds of fairness and honesty in all our dealings. This encompasses everything from settling debts and paying bills to being trustworthy with resources and accountable in our roles.
A vow is a serious promise that binds a person to an action. I learned from my Dad that when we give our word, God expects us to keep it (Ecclesiastes 5:4). Not fulfilling our vows can unleash difficulties, while honoring them brings blessing, peace, and restoration.
The greatest seed one can sow is the seed of Honor. This involves showing merited respect and recognition to those senior to us—be it God, our parents, our spiritual leaders, or the elderly. Honor can be shown through our substance or our words, and according to the Bible, it can lengthen one's days.
I learned that there are parameters in life and ministry that must be respected. People senior in rank are not our friends, and even in a free atmosphere, we must maintain a boundary of respect. This positions us to benefit from the anointing and grace upon their lives.
