Friend, do you remember the game “Follow The Leader”?
In the game, there would be an adult, like a teacher, who would pick a “leader" from a large group of students.
Once the leader was chosen, the entire group would have to follow the leader to where they would go.
1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV states, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
While you grow stronger in faith, it is important the leaders you select to follow!
There are many individuals who are chosen to be in high positions in culture.
However, you will need to make sure that you follow a leader who is led by Christ!
A true leader of Christ is one who walks in the example of Christ!
In other words, when you are looking for someone to follow, pay close attention to how they live.
Is the person only interested in people who can put them in higher positions?
Are they applying what they are teaching?
Do they show genuine respect for others who may be unable to do anything for them?
Is the person striving for culture’s approval or are they using God’s word to help impact culture?
A true leader of Christ displays the fruit of the spirit!
Galatians 5:22-23 CSB shares, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.”
Once again, being a true leader of Christ is more than what one says, but how one lives!
Their lives display Christ-like characteristics in all they do.
Why?
Because a good leader of Christ understands it is Christ’s example that is the greatest example to follow and brings eternal life.
They choose to follow Christ, so others may lead by the greatest example, Jesus!
And, if desire to be a good leader, ask yourself the question, who am I following and how am I applying their example?
