A leader is someone who is ahead of his followers. That is what makes him a leader. You’ve got to be seen to be at least one step ahead of the people you are leading. Jesus was a good leader.

He was definitely one step ahead when it came to prayer. He prayed more than His disciples did. He preached more than His disciples did. He sacrificed more than His disciples did. A Christian leader has invisible areas in which he must stay ahead. It is his leadership in these invisible areas that make him a true leader.

Ten Areas for Every Christian Leader to Stay Ahead In
1 . Stay ahead in prayer.
2. Stay ahead in Bible reading.
3. Stay ahead in reading Christian books.
4. Stay ahead in listening to tapes.
5. Stay ahead in sacrificing to God.
6. Stay ahead in the area of giving.
7. Stay ahead in waiting on God.
8. Stay ahead in holiness.
9. Stay ahead in the love of God.
10. Stay ahead in your relationship with God.

Are you a leader? If you are, then you must be at least one step ahead! You must not only be a step ahead in public, but you must be a step ahead in private. If you are prayerful in secret, your followers will recognize it and do likewise.

It is important to realize that things are not perfect. Most decisions that a leader will have to make are not decisions between the obviously good and obviously bad. Most things are not a clear-cut choice between black and white or light and darkness. A good leader must recognize the need to decide when he is faced with such choices. A good leader knows how to choose the lesser of two bad options.

Often, life presents us with two bad choices. Many leaders are paralysed into inaction because of the imperfect choices presented to them. They refuse to take that important step because they cannot see two very contrasting alternatives.

The Art of Leadership - Dag-Heward Mills

If you believe that you are called to the ministry, then you are called to leadership. That is why this book is very important for your life. So that you will be a good leader for the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul wrote to Timothy and told him to do certain things to make him a good leader. There are good ministers and bad ministers. Decide to be a good minister! 

A good leader will interact with two main groups of people: the great (humanly speaking) and the small (humanly speaking). The great people are the nobles, the rich, the influential and powerful people of society. There are not many of such people in the church. 

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 

1 Corinthians 1:26 

The “small” speaks of the poor, the down-and-out, and the people of little material substance. 

There are leaders, and there are leaders, yes, there are leaders. It really hurts to be under a bad or negative leadership. 

But you can also put a smile on the face of somebody through your leading. Be that good leader even if you are under a bad or wrong leadership, begin your own leading, and then you will enjoy the benefits.

As a leader, it is also important to bear in mind, you can not help all people no matter how good you are as a leader. Examples are

Five Types of People You Cannot Help 

1. People who do not accept the biblical solution to their problems. 

2. People who do not think that they have problems. 

3. People who feel too proud to receive help.

4. People who think that you are their problem. 

5. People who think that you are the cause of their problems. 

They will be among the people, no matter what you do.
