Let's get started. 😊In part 8 of this series, we are going to discuss what it means to lead in ministry in the name of Jesus.
*To lead means to guide someone or a group of people to Jesus and His way of living, behaving, and loving people (others) based on the word of God.
*A leader sets an example of what it means to serve or be of service and lead in ministry as well as equip other believers to do the same thing ----sharing the Good News of Jesus. (See the Great Commission - Matthew 28:19-20)
(See also: 1 Peter 5:3-5 and Ephesians 4:1-12)
*In addition, to lead means to conduct yourself in exemplary manner.
*As a leader, you must Take Heed to Your Ministry.
***********Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 4:12-16***********
Key Verse: "Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." (1 Timothy 4:16) 2
*In order to lead in ministry you must stay in constant touch with God through prayer and study the bible. In doing so, you first nourish your own spirit in the words of faith and sound good doctrine. In turn, you are equipped to teach others the essentials of faith.
*In a nutshell, leaders must and need to practice Godliness, the Kingdom of God ways of doing things in their own lives so that they are able to set an example and inspire others to do the same.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to be an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, despite my youth. Strengthen me to live a life that reflects Your teachings and glorifies Your name. Guide me to speak words that uplift and encourage others, demonstrating Your love in all I do. Increase my faith and help me to walk in purity, setting a positive example for believers and non-believers alike. In Your holy name, I pray. Amen.
