The Cost of Servant Leadership

Theme: Servant Leadership

Brethren,

Trust you are well and that your week is going well.

As we continue in our quarter theme on servant leadership, you may begin to wonder why there is such a dearth of servant leaders, even in the Church. If you have ever entertained such a question, then you don’t want to miss this Sunday’s study on The Cost of Servant Leadership

Key Learning Points are:

1. Doing the right thing in an ungodly world can be risky. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were commanded to bow down before an idol (Dan 3:1-30). Daniel was ordered to pray only to a human king (Dan 6:1-24). Yet these men, like this brave queen, all chose to trust God and take risks.
2. Servant leaders while serving, could be sorely oppressed, and persecuted, sometimes even unto death – the ultimate cost. The servant leader’s mindset should therefore be, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain”- Phil1:21
3. To truly be servant leaders, we must come to the place where we are willing and ready to pay the ultimate price for our faith in God. And that means allowing God to decide whether we would live to see another day or not.

May we, like Queen Esther, be all in for the sake of our Master, Jesus Christ.
