ARE YOU A LEADER?

Are you a leader of today?

Lets look at what the scriptures says about the characteristics of a what leader should be!

Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.” -1 Timothy 3:1-7

One of the quickest ways to find out is to look over your shoulder and see who is following you, learning from you, being inspired by your life and teachings. If no one is following you, then you may still be a leader in training that needs some equipping and sharpening!

“And David shepherded them with integrity and heart; with skillful hands he led them.” -Ps 78:72
