Topic: THE HEART OF A TRUE LEADER

MEMORIZE:  "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45.

SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 10:42-45

EXPOSITION:

A leader is the servant of all. He is God’s minister to the people. He must not rule the people but serve them. He must consider the need of the people. He is a man of good reputation, a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Christ like, firm and fearless. He must be able to stick to the truth, and not be too feeble to bend under pressure. He must not turn the heart of the people away from God.

He must be calm, friendly, and humble. He must not make the church like a military camp where the members of the church are not free or have easy access to him. His followers must not be afraid of him or found it very difficult to approach him whenever they err from the truth. He must jealously guides the sheep (followers) from wolves (the false teachers/ dictators).

A leader must be kind, full of the fruit of the spirit, vigilant, meek, sober, and exercise faith. No matter how the Holy Spirit is using him, he must remain humble. A leader must be smart, hardworking, and honest. A leader is the man who has the vision and mission of lifting burdens out of his followers.

L - He Love the people, He remained Loyal to the Lord, and He Leads by examples.

E - He Encouraged the people, He Earnestly seeks to please the Lord, and He Endures till the end.

A - He is Active despite persecution, He loves Approaching the Lord, and He affirms his energizing courage.

D - He Diligently intercedes for the people, He is demonstrating unwavering faith to the Lord, and He is determined to conquer evil.

E - He Eliminates every elements of pride, He is enrooting the agape Love, and Exposes evil. 

R - He Rejects false preachers, He is Reaching the Lost, and He blatantly Refuse to encourage evil.

PRAYER POINT:

Pray for all the leaders of God’s people, both political and religious, that God will give them the heart of true leadership that is ready to serve God and humanity in sincerity rather than to enrich their pride.
