I find myself wondering the same thing. My life has not lead me into leadership. I did get to serve in church for a while and affect numerous people for a while. I even taught church lessons to classes. But these days I don't get out too much and just watch church online for now. Too much health problems.
I think if I got famous the media would tear my past apart and make a fool out of me for past sins. And I think God has forgiven me for that. But that's not how the news and media work really. So in my case, it would be a "be careful what you ask for".
most folks have no true idea what LEADERSHIP is truly all about .
Its about doing all to protect and keep the church safe from all false doctrines of men and correcting any brethren that does err .
Nor is it about us BEING EXALTED TO LORD ANYTHING OVER ANYONE .
ITS all about being lowly and true servant that does all to look out for the welfare of the peoples .
Most folks just like the praise of men and titles and looking good and being popular . JUST LIKE THE WORLD .
But i say we learn JESUS .
Cause the last time i checked JESUS didnt ride in a golden chariot with rings of gold and fancy clothes
as his own walked . JESUS Didnt come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life a ransom for many .
I think any good leader of any church SURE WOULDNT be trying to live BETTER OFF than even its own memembers .
JESUS DIDNT . HE was as one of them and yet WE KNOW WHO HE IS .......................IF HE came to wear a crown of thorns
and even washed the feet of his own . I SUGGEST LEADERS START GETTING THAT JESUS FIRMLY PLANTED IN THEIR OWN HEADS .
IF JESUS Didnt have men come before him and kiss his ring , THEN i suggest leaders who do such a thing , WELL
they need to step on down TILL THEY LEARN the TRUE HUMILITY .
NOW this dont mean leaders dont correct and do so sharply at times . CAUSE JESUS DID and so did the aposetls .
IT does mean , however , if we are looking for leadership for titles and praise of men and to be seen ,
WE IN DIRE TROUBLE . and will make WICKED examples of leaders . Just something to truly ponder on . Too many leaders
join the leadership cause its an easy way to look good , make money and get praise . THEY DONT BELONG IN LEADERSHIP .
THEY should have long well learned those bibles and that JESUS and those aposetls well , BEFORE THEY EVEN GOT PUT into such a posistion
themselves .
