The quest for leaders
About the greatest need in the church
Responsibility
ОглавлениеThe key word for a leader is responsibility. This is the main difference between a leader and the people he cares for. The leader needs to feel a higher degree of responsibility than all others; that is why he is a leader. He stays in all kinds of weather, he knows he is accountable for what he does and he will do his very best to complete the tasks given to him.
Many people like to join a church, visit the Sunday meetings, but not take responsibility. Responsibility is a burden not everyone wants to bear. It is convenient for the flesh to come to church when it suits, go some other place when that seems better, and not take up any obligation that binds up the time. This is a little like the spirit of our time. People do not want to have too many attachments, but pick what is most comfortable for the moment.
But the church has no future without responsible leaders. Isaiah heard The Lord asking this question:
“Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”
Isaiah 6:8
In other words, who can be trusted? On whom can God lay a burden, knowing that the person will be ready to accept the responsibility?
THE CHURCH HAS NO FUTURE WITHOUT RESPONSIBLE LEADERS.
