Distinctive Leadership (2) - Biblical Leadership


Being a Leader is NOT an Option! (Genesis 1:26-28)

1. We are made in God's image.

2. Part of what that means is - to Rule over God's creation as His RepresentativeRuling means:/
- create a culture/civilization as God inteneded
- lead and direct God's world to be under God's rule

(instead, sadly, Christians today are ruled by the culture/world rather than are ruling the culture/world)
---------------------------------------------------
Christians learn leadership God's way-from the Bible n from Christ.

1. Purpose-Centred Leaders - King
a.functions:(2 Chronicles 1:7-10)
to lead (provide direction/purpose);
to govern (administrative);
to accomplish missionsor tasks
(Romans 14:17 - to establish God's standard of RIGHTEOUSNESS in society, PEACE between God and Men, Joy as proper attitute and repsonse in life)

b. dangers: Deu 17:14-20
Power (horses)
Pleasures (many wives)
Possessions (silver and gold)
Pride (consider himself better than his brothers)

c. Safeguard: Deut 17:18-19
to handle a personal and first hand encounter with the Word
(not borrowed convictions, not situation/positional holiness);
continuous intake of the Word

d. The True Leader is Jesus Christ (our ultimate model)1 Tim 1:12-17
v12 He considered Paul faithful for HIs service (a candidate without credibility)
v12 He gave Paul the strength to serve.
v14,16 He showed Paul grace and mercy when serving Him.
v16 He showed Paul unlimited patience.

1. Have you PERSONALLY submitted to Jesus as the King of your life and pledge to serve Him?

2. Do u give all glory to Him or do u want to share His glory?

3. Do u point your followers to Jesus rather than urselves?(power struggle w Christ)

4. Do u recognise it is by His grace n mercy that u are considered faithful in His service?


If you are not following Christ, DO NOT BE A LEADER.
