Leadership Ethics

2 Thessalonians 3:7- For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you.

The scripture above teaches us the necessity of living a disciplined life as leaders among God's people. It brings to light that there are ethics for leaders to follow to be able to gain credibility among people. Leadership ethics are pillars that sustain the leadership institution and administration. These ethics are rules, decency, ethos, integrity, or moral code and they are documented in the scriptures for every leader that is called by God to live by and pursue. Every leader should be aware of them, believe in them, and operate by them. These rules of God are the pillars of leaders' forthrightness and godly influence. Without following these biblical models of leadership our morality and uprightness will be at stake, and the church and society will be in chaos. A disorderly church or the world is the product of the disorderly lives of its leaders. Leaders cannot behave or live as they want, they are bound by the rules of God, others may live and do as they like, but not God's leaders. Anyone called into leadership by God either directly or through people must be ready to give up his self-life, otherwise, his self-will or personal ambition will stand as a barrier to being selfless in his service to God's people. Inside the scriptures are ordinances for us leaders on how to live, how to relate with people and lead them, how to handle God's resources, how to relate with fellow leaders, how to relate with the opposite sex, and how to handle offenses and criticism. Living and operating by these principles will put us at the forefront as a guiding light to the people we are leading. Following these bible ethics for leaders will keep us from living a loose life or being unguarded in our lifestyle.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
