Do the Call




God calls His children to be leaders.  Are you doing the call?

The best picture of leadership is not the stereotype one.  It is not seen in a handsome politician speaking across a vast expanse to thousands of cheering supporters.  Nor is it wrapped up in the media personalities who smoothly express the news to us, or in the artists and musicians who design glamorous appeals to our culture.  God indeed calls individuals to places of obvious influence.  But foremost, God’s will for leadership is one of service, encouragement, communication, obedience, and character.  This kind of leadership often goes completely unnoticed.

We are called to “be an example;” to show others the way of Christ with our lives. The way of Christ is not one in which we can shy away from responsibility.  Rather, we should do our very best in any position of leadership God gives us.  But we must realize that purity of heart is a prerequisite for godly influence.  God will not give us leadership if we love it more than Him.  Much as an arrow must be shot above the mark in order to hit a target, we must seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness (Matt. 6:33) if we wish to bring about earthly change.  It is in seeking not to be great, but to be good, that we as believers are rewarded (see Heb. 11:6).


Christ's command to serve
Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
