THE CONCEPT OF TRUE LEADERSHIP.
THE
CONCEPT OF TRUE LEADERSHIP!
"I
am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11 NIV).
INSIGHT:
TRUE LEADERSHIP IS SUFFERING [Selah]!
Then, what is suffering?
Let's differentiate it's component words, thus:
(1) Self.
(2) Offering.
In other words;
Self + Offering = Suffering.
This connotes that "Offering {one} Self sacrificially for the benefits,
progress and well-being of others, is True Leadership."
Therefore, the identity and characteristics of a True Leader; "is the
Capacity and Willingness to offer himself/herself as a sacrifice(ransom); in an
Exchange for the well-being and benefits of others (followers)."
Can you see that?
The Greatest Leader of all times, "JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth";
demonstrated such quality during His Earthly Ministry and also expounded it in
His Eternal Word, thus:
"I
am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11 NIV).
The above word could be paraphrased as thus:
"I am the True Leader.Thetrue leader suffers and risks his own life,for the
wellbeing of his follower(s)"!
Therefore, as a follower of CHRIST, we are been
encouraged to imbibe and inculcate His examples in leadership, not only in the
Church but also in secular sectors; business, political etc.!
Rejoice!
