The Godly Leader's Blessing and Burden

The Godly Leader’s Blessing and Burden

Exalt God by
Embodying Christ-likeness
Engaging people for Christ
Escorting people to Christ
Educating people on Christ
Encouraging people in Christ
Empowering people to lovingly, serve Christ
That they, too, may exalt God…


Jeremiah 3: 15. And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Ephesians 4:8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ…

1 Peter 5:1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2. 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;
3. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
