What does leadership look like in a servant?
Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan for forty days? Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13. This was His Initiation before he began His public ministry. When God called you into the ministry in which you now serve, what was your wilderness experience; what were your weapons of warfare and what were the results of your wilderness experience?
Mark 1:16-20 reads: 16 Now as he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 17And Jesus said unto them, “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. 19And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
What is it about these four men that caught Jesus attention? What do you think He saw?
What are the characteristics of a good fishermen? How do you think God can use these characteristics in your ministry?
What did Jesus call them to do? How does this call apply to you and your ministry?
A Call to Leadership
Leaders must know God has a call on their entire lives including their careers.
Leaders need their status reaffirmed by God the Father just as Jesus did.
Leaders must remember God has specific plans for you. Leaders must do their best to determine what the plans are and submit to them.
Leaders must never let someone else determine God’s will for their life. No one can understand God’s unique call on your life as clearly as you can.
Leaders must remember that gifts in one area, such as leadership abilities are not necessarily transferable.
Leaders must remember it is worthwhile to seek advice from others, but ultimately a calling is between the individual and God.
Leaders must remember we all must face God individually to give an account of our lives. (Romans 14:10).
Before leaders consider taking positions of leadership, they need to put out their own “fleece” and seek God’s affirmation.
