A Worldly Leader Vs. A Leader Who Loves

There must be an observable difference between a leader who is worldly and a leader who knows Jesus, a leader who loves.

The world informs, persuades, instructs, and ultimately destroys a powerless leader. How does a Christian leader show that he is not of this world? How does the Christian leader glorify God? Answers to these questions are not a matter of leadership style. It’s all about the daily relationship between the leader and God. A relationship with Jesus is the most important qualification of a leader. Joshua received his leadership training directly from God. Loving leaders have the same instructions.

Our walk does not include turns to the left or right. We will succeed wherever we go as we depend upon the Lord for direction. We are also reminded to speak the Word. We are to meditate upon it day and night. We are to “act carefully according to all that is written in it.” Is there any better advice a leader could receive?

When we consider that God has placed us in leadership so we might influence others, our greatest need must be to stay close to Him. Let this be your prayer: “Dear Lord, help me be a godly influence on others as You influence me.”
