Lessons for Leaders:
2:42-47 = Leaders, incorporate four elements into your congregation’s life. Believe evangelism will result from a church living in obedience to Jesus’ invitations.
4:24-31 = Leaders, frequently pray this fervent prayer in your congregational worship.
6:1-6 = Leaders, share your ministry. Do not weaken your life and ministry by doing work others should do.
12:5 = Leaders, give prayer a central place in your church life.
13:1-3 = Leaders, submit to the Sprit’s guidance when confronting decisions. Call leadership to prayer and fasting in such times. Release ministry freely when asked to do so by the Holy Spirit.
14:14-18 = Leaders, do not receive inordinate praise from people. Dispel unrighteous adulteration by admirers.
16:1-5 = Leaders, personally train young men who are called to ministry.
20:28-32 = Leaders, guard against disloyalty. Insure that no one makes disciples for himself. Assume the responsibility of guarding the flock of God from “savage wolves.”
20:27 = Leaders, make certain that you teach “the whole counsel of God.” Live in obedience to the gospel, and see the results in evangelism and spiritual growth.
From the Book of Nehemiah
Guidelines for growing in Godliness:
Living God’s way means making God’s priorities our priorities, realizing that they often are different from ours. God still accomplishes all things through His Word.
Therefore, the Scriptures are a guide for ordering our lives according to God’s will. Understanding and obeying them brings joy. They also teach us to acknowledge God’s hand in all our success.
