Why We Need Good Leaders

A BOSS... creates fear!
A LEADER.... creates trust! (1 Thess. 2:10-11)

A BOSS... serves himself!
A LEADER.... serves others! (1 Cor. 9:19)

A BOSS... aims to make himself successful!
A LEADER.... aims to make others successful! (1 Tim. 4:6)

A BOSS... says, "I"!
A LEADER.... says, "we"! (1 Cor. 3:5-9)

A BOSS... fixes blame!
A LEADER.... fixes mistakes! (Philemon 18-19)

A BOSS... knows how!
A LEADER.... shows how! (Exodus 18:17)

A BOSS... makes work a grind!
A LEADER.... makes work worthwhile! (Nehemiah)

A BOSS... drives!
A LEADER.... leads! (John 10:11-15)

A BOSS... wields authority!
A LEADER.... empowers people! (2 Tim. 2:2)

A BOSS... relies on the power of authority!
A LEADER.... relies on the power of servant-hood! (Matt. 20:25-28)

On your job...Do you report to a Boss or a Leader?

In your church...Is your Pastor a Spiritual Boss or a Spiritual Leader?

In your home...Are you a Family Boss or a Family Leader?


IS GOD CALLING YOU TO BE A LEADER?
WILL YOU ACCEPT HIS CALL?

First make sure you are following the greatest leader of all Jesus Christ!

  1. I want to be a spiritual leader not a boss with authority! I want God to use me to help people become all God wants them to be. One thing for sure, if you are a leader and no one is following, are you really a leader? If people are following lead with integrity, for the right reasons, and for His glory!
