11: Discipling Spiritual Leaders – Lesson Plan — 3 Comments

  1. It is an edifying text you have posted up beloved. Especially on the point that we need to exhibit humility and inorder for this fruit of the spirit to become inherent in us. However how do we nurture discernment? Is my question. For instance when we choose leaders that genuinely are pious and later on they stumble, does it mean that we were wrong in choosing these leaders if not how do we help restore them without being judgemental and lucking confidence in their ability to serve again? Thank you

    • It is important that we seek God in prayer as Jesus did when choosing spiritual leaders and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth.
      Today we have the word of God as our criteria. The bible helps us choose and shows us how to develop into true spiritual leaders. Jesus says if we want to grow as leader we must be servants Matt. 20:26;1 Timothy 3:1-13/Ephesians 4:1-16 equip the church for ministry, be respectable, not out for selfish gain & money,be trust worthy, knowledgeable, hospitable,not slanderers, have self control, don't abuse substances, be tested and tried, grow into maturity, sober minded, faithful in all things and speak truth in love. 1 Peter 5:3 not domineering but examples to the flock. There is so much biblical information on how to grow as spiritual leaders. When we make mistakes as leaders we must be humble enough to go to God and ask for forgiveness and go to others and admit our mistakes and apologize. If we confess our faults and sins God promises to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
      The problem is some times we are not humble enough to do this.
