Did you know that a leader is a privileged being in the work of the Lord? Therefore
one must allow oneself to be used by Him, to abide by each of the recommendations given
to a servant through his word and to be attentive to any situation or
circumstance that arises, to go forward with the banner of the Name of
Jesus on high, without disregarding others working unanimously, constant in the
work of the Lord Jesus.
The Bible tells us in Philippians 1:27 "Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ"

common goal. The one who exercises leadership is known as a leader. (Wikipedia).

served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
Leadership does not only mean authority; it also includes service and
responsibility. God's purpose is for us to influence what is around us.
Jesus Christ mentioned it in the following way: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the

others in all areas of life. The good result or work of a leader is measured by
the achievements in the lives of those he leads, with whom he works.
A leader realizes that before God he is at the same level as those he leads. His
