28 Feb 2010 Qualities of a good leader Pastor Jack Theva We must start with customer service and customer is King. Government officers are also known as government servants- but they behave more like bosses, but hopefully in the kingdom of God, we remain truly as God’ servants. As God servants, we must also delivered high quality service and selling the Gospel of Jesus to anyone that comes. Every church also have good members and bad members- but all must humble themselves and work together. For every soul saved – every department has a part in it- all members are stakeholders to deliver quality service. 1. Serve with gladness/ joyfully Psalms 100:2 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalms 14:16
2. Serve God willingly God help me to smile and serve the master not people.
1st Peter 5:2 2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve Exodus 21:1-6 Hebrew Servants 2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. 5 "But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' 6 then his master must take him before the judges. [a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. 3. Serve God wholeheartedly The administrative work in the office will never end. Sometimes try to save your energy for the things of God. If you have to cheat – cheat on the world ‘s time and not on God’s time and use your wisdom. 2nd Chronicles 31:20-21
20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God. 21 In everything that he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered. 4. Undivided loyalty We cannot serve the Lord and Money. Serve the Lord alone and we shall have enough.
Luke 16:1 1Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. Joshua 24:14-15 14 "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
5. Enthusiastic and zealous It is tough to deal with people within the church. It is true that sometimes Pastors do not want to go to church because they cannot stand their members. Zeal must be balanced with competence. It is also about competent people and leadership succession. Sometimes members must be willing to step aside to give others a chance to serve.
Rm 12:11 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
6. Faithful servant The church is about talents- how you nurture them and mentor them whereby they pass it on to the next generation- it is a mentoring process- training others to take over. One should not dominate the stage at the expense of the church.
Heb3:2-3 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
Luke 19:11 The Parable of the Ten Minas 11While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a]'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' 14"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' 15"He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. 16"The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' 17" 'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.' 18"The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' 19"His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.' 20"Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.'
22"His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' 24"Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' 25" 'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' 26"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. 27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."
7. Godly man/ person
Let the righteousness of Jesus flow out of you, more so you need to shine
for Jesus , and touch other members in the church. Paul says, I die for
Christ daily – dying to self-desire and own selfish ways. Sometimes familiarity breeds contempt- so in a family context, we scream at our children and also pray for them- sometimes children may not feel the Godly presence- hence we have to balance the need for discipline with God’s love in teaching them.
John 12:24 24I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. We need to have these 7 qualities to do well and also contribute to any church that one chooses to serve.
