What makes a good leader?
I have studied many leaders in history. And I’ve noticed many things about them. Many of them came upon the scene in the world when they were really needed. Others were poor leaders, unable to think beyond what they wanted. We have to agree that all leaders are flawed people.
Whether you’re a good leader or not, it all depends on Whom you serve. There have been many leaders who served God first, and they tried their best to serve men and women. These are the servant-leaders that God has sent into the world, to lead in righteous ways and to lead with love and honor.
Then, there have been leaders in history who have led the people astray. These are the ones who either serve themselves or serve the enemy of our souls. They will always exist in the world until our LORD returns to make all things right, including destroying these enemies of God.
A good leader serves God first, then he loves and serves mankind. He trusts God with his life. He does make mistakes because we all do, but he owns up to them. He is accountable to the people he serves. He does not advantage of those he leads.
We need to be praying that God sends Godly men and women to run for office, leaders who will do the right things. Our Nation deserves these kind of leaders.
