How to Raise Leaders?

Read: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things. (Mark 6:34)

One of the challenges every ministry, church or organization eventually faces in its expansion plans is the severe lack of genuine godly leaders. Where do you find them is the million dollar question? In today’s reading, when Lord Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a proper shepherd.

The mark of true compassion is that it will always move you to action. Notice what Jesus did. He began to teach them many things. Teaching people the principles of God is one of the surest ways to raise Godly and effective leaders. The reason for this is that while heaven and earth will pass away but God’s Word (His principles) will never fall short. This is how the vision for the Daily Manna was born. I see the Daily Manna as a vital tool in discipling the nations with the Word of God. On one hand our Lord Jesus had a powerful miracle and deliverance ministry and on the other hand He also had an effective teaching ministry primarily geared towards His apostles who would one day turn the world upside down – inside out.

Godly and effective leaders. 1. Doctrine 2.Reproof (to make us realize what is wrong in our lives)3.Correction 4.Instruction in righteousness 5.That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Prayer:

Father, instruct me and teach me in the way I should go through Your Word. Guide me O Lord. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
