Leadership

A leader in the house of God is the one that take responsibility and can be rely and counted upon. He is the one that have been given the mantle of leadership over the world to win, raise and nurture them in the way of the Lord. He gives direction and speaks the mind of God in every matters or situation. He is a shepherd in the house that protects and care for the sheep.

Spiritual leadership is not a title but a responsibility. If you are a Christian, it means you have been called into this category of leadership and you are now the light of your world, but you need to be raised and trained in things of the Spirit, so you can be able to handle them. Before I explain what I mean by the things of the Spirit, it is very important that we understand the make up of a man.

Man is a Spirit that has a soul but lives in a body, 1 thessalonians 5V23. The body is the physical part of a man that gives us right to live here on earth, but the soul is our mind our reasoning faculty where we function intellectually, while the spirit is non-material part of a man that respond to deity. Our spirit makes contact with divinity. This is the reason why we should be concern about those that are not born-again and win them to Christ because when a man is not born-again He is not recognized in heaven therefore he is at mercy of the devil. Our spiritual responsibility is to make sure we bring the lost souls into the house and disciple them that is the essence of spiritual leadership.


The Word of God is spirit and life and to get acquainted with the things of the spirit, we must get to know and meditate on the Word and grow in it. 1peter 2v2 says, “as new born babes, desires the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow there by.” The Word of God can build us up in righteousness Romans 1v16-17. To be successful and prosper as a Christian we must be able to balance our spiritual needs which are the most important needs of man because human needs are spiritual. Act 28V27.Romance 12v1-2.
