And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
(Joshua 5:14)This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
(1 Timothy 3:1) The value of the servant leader to God's people
The world is in a leadership crisis, and the church needs servant-hearted leaders with integrity and spiritual maturity. Nehemiah is an example of an exceptional leader who had a firm identity, dependence on God, and dedication to guiding God's people. God cares more about a leader's spiritual maturity than their skills and abilities. The Lord uses humble, obedient, and devoted people who seek to please Him alone.
