TOPIC: WHAT IS #BIBLICAL #LEADERSHIP?
TEXTS:
Genesis1:26 - Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”
Exodus3:7-10 - “7And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”
Romans13:1 - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
Notes:
The Leadership Institute at the Holy Ghost School Of Prayer And Biblical Leadership define #Biblical #Leadership as the (True, Authentic, Valid) #Visible #representation of the #Invisible #God or Divine Authority and #Omnipotence in a community; providing #guidance and #coordination towards the attainment of #good #purpose. #Leaders are essentially God’s #representatives to the led and will someday be #judged by God – the Creator of all. Biblical Leadership acknowledges its #stewardship under our #Sovereign #Creator #God.
When a leader discountenances #God and turns away from the #Divine purpose, he becomes #deluded, #proud, #self-serving, – sectional, corrupt, boastful, arrogant, #wicked, cheat, thief, wolf, devilish.
