PREFACE
Dynamics of leadership in the 21st Century is produced to handle current leadership crisis in churches and Christian cycles. It is very important to note why the author decided to present this book. First, we should acknowledge the trinity of heaven (God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) as the first line of leadership in the church. Therefore, there is no other upper level and layer of leadership. Now that you are about to read chapter 1 to chapter 8 of this handbook, you should have the broader understanding of Jesus as the Leader of the Church, it is time for you to make up your own mind. Does Jesus’ leadership have any relevance in our world today? Does His leadership have any meaning in your own life? As an author, I came to realise and understand that Jesus Christ is the author and the finisher of my faith (Hebrews 12:2). I have found that His principles not only work for my career, but also for my personal life. Gain deeper understanding by studying this handbook which will help you to realise deeper things of God in relation to leadership style approved by God. I have intensively noted and outlined how Paul taught and related to leadership; using him as a Biblical reference to ascertain points and arguments related to leadership.
I will want to bring this thought on why Jesus’ leadership is relevant in all of our lives: Leadership is a topic that is important for every Christian and every single human being living on this earth. We are all leaders, in one capacity or another. Each of us has a responsibility to lead others to Christ. Leaders are expected to know how to get the job done. In my opinion, who better to learn leadership from than Jesus Christ, the Son of God? We can learn how He lived, what He did, and what He said; it is all significant. Noting that he spend 30 years in preparation for His ministry, His leadership style was inspiring and He did not err nor bridge leadership preparedness in His ministry. I once had a lot of people who preached and told me that Jesus’ leadership was nothing but ancient history. Well, I have news for the world, His leadership is still as relevant today, in this postmodern society as it was when He walked the face of the earth 2,000 years ago.
It is obvious that Paul and other Bible referenced teachers and preachers, as well as those that have written about His leadership, believe that Jesus Christ is the greatest leader in the history of the world. He lived on this earth for less than 35 years, leaving behind only a few hundred followers upon His return to heaven. He never wrote a book, taught a seminar, or created a detailed outlined for His disciples to follow. A few years after He departed, His movement had swelled to include thousands of new believers. There is no doubt that this world needs leaders in every shape, size and colour. Look around. People are desperately crying out for friendship, help, love, guidance, and direction. Well, that’s leadership. Each one of us has been called to guide others to Jesus. It is time to say yes
to His directive: Take care of my lambs and my sheep
(John 21:17). It is time to ask for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to empower us and boldly go and tell people of all nations the good news; and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
(Matt. 28:19). This is what leadership is all about, sharing with others what you have learned about Jesus. I am so thankful that God loved us enough to provide a way out for us. His Son is pure, wonderful, and our forever leader.
I hope this handbook will help you to develop an understanding and further build a Christ-like character of leadership which God expects us to uphold to lead His church to greater heights.
