(Leadership)
Genesis 1:1-3 KJV
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
We are all leaders by nature, because God our creator is a leader and made us like himself. We all find ourselves as leaders in different capacities, from being just an elder sibling to a CEO of conglomerate, President or Overseer of ministries.
We'll be considering scriptural leadership values as reflected by the Author and Creator of all things.
There many leaders we can learn from in the scriptures, exhibiting different pattern of leadership but all human leaders have their flaws. The only flawless leadership is that of God as Jesus also demonstrated it in the body.
Let's learn a bit from God's model from creation and begin to embrace some godly leadership virtues.
From the verses we have:
I. Creativity - God exemplified creativity in leadership, He created heaven and earth perfectly before humanity. Leaders must be creative.
II. Peace - God had peace in the midst of the chaos that came upon the world He had created. Leaders are to be Peaceful in the midst of chaos, that's when we can make right decision.
III. Spiritual surveillance - God wasn't just logical He sought in the Spirit to know the exact situation before He took action. Leaders are meant to be able to survey things properly in the spirit before actions.
IV. Enlightenment - God's first action was to bring light over the dark earth. You can not be enlightened until you shed light upon the darkness surrounding you. Leaders should be enlightened.
