Month of Prayer: Week 2 - Day 13
Author: SIs Joy Greer
Day 13: Church Leadership
"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock."
1 Peter 5:2-3
1 Peter 5:2-3
Devotional:
Leadership in the church is a calling of great responsibility. According to 1 Peter 5:2-3, those entrusted with oversight are called to feed the flock willingly, without ulterior motives, and to serve as examples. Leaders have a great responsibility within the body of Christ.
People sometimes see leaders and see titles, accolades, people doing things for them; however, one must realize that in order to be a great leader, one must have been a great servant first. A person does not wake up and say “I’m a leader”. A person must first learn to serve - yes, being humble and serving others teaches you to be a great leader. Look at our perfect example - Jesus was a great leader; however, He was also a servant. He was humble and did things the people did not expect. Jesus taught us that no matter who you are, your purpose is first to serve and then to lead.
As we continue this month of prayer, take the time to pray for your leaders - for their growth, for their wisdom, for their humility, for their guidance from God - and make sure you are taking notes to ensure when your time comes, you will be a great leader also.
Prayer:
Father, I lift up the leaders of my church. Give them wisdom, humility, and a heart for Your people. Amen.
