Lead Like Jesus

Stepping into leadership can be exciting! New leaders find themselves asking, “Will people follow me? Will they like me? Will I be able to accomplish anything? Followers are asking an opposite set of questions. They want to know, “Is this person trustworthy? Do I want to follow him/her? Do I like where they are going? 



An unspoken covenant established by every leader to their followers according to Hal Seed, contains three promises:
1. If you follow me, I will make your life better
2. If you follow me, I will care about you.
3. If you follow me, I will take you where you cannot go on your own.

No leader has the personal power to meet any of these promises. Fortunately the Holy Spirit can do everything the leader cannot do. This type of leader can then be confident of this — that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Philippians 1:6

Jesus made these same unspoken promises to the Christ-like leader. Without question, Christ has made my life better, cared for me incredibly, and taken me to where I could not have gone myself! May we lead like Him!!
