Leadership means Service

Sometimes I get the feeling that we are experiencing a leadership crisis among Christians. Although many people are so eager to assume the top position, but too few are so willing to accept and put into practice the biblical pattern of authority. They assumed leadership and think that leadership means absolute dominance, so they completely ignore the basic teachings of Jesus in this regard.
The pattern established by Christ for leadership int he church can be sumed up in one word: servanthood. Jesus himself exemplified this when he washed the feet of the disciple.
This willingness to serve thers and to give examples to them is a very good sign of Christianity in action. because of our willingness to take the role of servant before the eyes of men and God, it wil draw many souls to the service of God through his church as a whole.
You may be a Christian leader in your own church or in any club, and association. Show yourself that you are christian leader in action, not in words. Action speaks much louder than words. Words fly, but deeds remain and will be in the eyes and minds of those who witness you in action. " Be on the go" as leader of any group. Apply the principle of leadership in servanthood.
A leader does not begin to serve until he puts serving into his leadership.
