SERVANT LEADERSHIP

"Let nothing is done through strife and vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not everyman on his own things, but everyman also on the things of others". Philippians 2:3-4. Paul explains here what is true servant leadership. True leadership is not self-serving but selfless service, isn't it? World's leadership is heavy- handed, led by threat and force. In Jesus' kingdom- lead by humbling ourselves and serving. It is the meek- not the oppressors, who will inherit the earth. God's leader has anointing without arrogance, boldness without brashness, power without pride. Even though many non- Christians have excellent leadership skills, they do not qualify for Spiritual Leadership. My friend, Spiritual leadership flows from deep personal relationship with Christ, delights in glorifying God and lifting other people, serves Christ by serving needy people, esteem others more highly than themselves. Well, isn't it the JESUS WAY- willing to lay down his life for others and by washing his disciples feet. You see, servant leaders touch the heart before they ask for a hand. TADA!!!
