Spiritual Leadership

Let us pray that God will give us grace to lead with humility, courage and wisdom.

* Humility: There is no place among Christian leaders for a “know-it-all” attitude. The true leader never ceases to be a learner.

* Courage: We need to challenge the complacent attitude which has been described as “the seven last words of the Church” – “It’s never been done that way before.” True leadership is about leading the Lord’s people to move forward in faith.

* Wisdom: There are some situations where humility is called for – “we don’t have all the answers.” There are other situations where courage is called for – “This is the way the Lord is leading us. We must follow Him.” We need wisdom to know, in each situation, which we need most – humility or courage.

At the heart of true leadership, there is a real commitment to being led by Jesus Christ who “did not come to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).

Single-Minded Devotion To Jesus Christ.

Numbers 27:1-23
The daughters of Zelophehad were concerned about the continuation of the father’s name (1-11). Our first concern must be the glory of God, our Heavenly Father. We are to honour our parents, loving them deeply. We must not allow such love to compete with our love for Christ. He must come first. We are called to a life of single-minded devotion to Jesus Christ. Joshua is chosen to succeed Moses as the leader of God’s people (12-23). Soon, Moses would be gone. The Lord was preparing His people for the future. God had His man - Joshua - waiting to continue the work which Moses had begun. For each place and time, God has His ‘Joshua’. The work of God will go on. His work requires more than a ‘Joshua’. What part will you play in God’s ongoing work? Will you take up the challenge?
