In this work more than in any secular business, success is proportioned to the spirit of consecration and self-sacrifice with which the work is done. Those who bear responsibility as mangers in the work need to place themselves where they can be deeply impressed by the Spirit of God. You should have as much greater anxiety than do others to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and a knowledge of God and Christ, as your position of trust is more responsible than that of the common worker. {7T 188.4}

I dette arbejde vil fremgangen mere end i noget verdsligt foretagende (189) stå i forhold til den hengivenhedens og selvopofrelsens ånd arbejdet udføres med. De, som bærer ansvar som leder i virksomheden, har brug for at stille sig, hvor Guds Ånd kan gøre et dybt indtryk på dem. I bør vise en langt større iver end andre efter at modtage Helligåndens dåb og kundskab om Gud og Kristus, fordi jeres betroede stilling er mere ansvarsfuld end den almindelige arbejders.
