LEADERS IN THE EYES OF GOD: SHORT REFLECTION

Bawa Leo

Good leaders are call, appointed and anointed by God. When God appoints leaders he also trains them for the office. But our hearts easily deceive us that famous, wealthy and arrogant communicators are good leaders. But these are danger signs to effective servant leadership in the church or any organization.I like what God told prophet Samuel in 1 Samueal 16:7 “… People judge others by what they look like, but I judge people by what is in their hearts.” Therefore, Being a popular, wealthy and a good communicator are not enough and do not necessarily make one a good leader. We need to stick to the ancient path, the biblical guidelines no matter how ancient they may be. To lead with great authority, we need to be appointed and anointed by God now and always. His guidelines are not burdensome nor cumbersome (Mt 11:28-30).
