BECOMING A GOOD LEADER....."LEARNING FROM JOSEPH'S STYLE OF LEADERSHIP" PART 1

in christianity •  7 years ago  (edited)

 

            Genesis 41:1-43

One would always ask,can l be a leader even if  he or she is a potential leader.

Whenever one is asked to lead a group anonymously,he or she ask so many questions like..

  1. Can l be a leader?
  2. How can l manage what l am going to be entrusted?
  3. Will the end result be good after my term of office?

Because of the burden and the myopic ideas  people have about leadership a lot run or even fail upon having the qualities.

Therefore one will ask what is leadership..

The capacity of someone to lead...

As Christians there are several types of leadership style in the Bible:we have

Jesus type of leadership.
Jethro's  type of leadership.
Joshua type of leadership.
Timothy type of leadership.
David type of leadership.
Samuel type of leadership.
Joseph type of leadership

We are going to consider

      JOSEPH TYPE OF LEADERSHIP

Using the Acronym of leadership.

 Using Genesis 41:1-43 in  stoical form-more especially

Verse 25-32

Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,"The dreams of Pharaoh are one;God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: 26 The  seven good cows are seven,and the seven good heads are seven years;the dream are one. 27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years,and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine. 28 This is the thing which  have spoken to Pharaoh.God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. 29 Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt; 30 but after them seven years of famine will arise,and plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt;and the famine will deplete the land. 31 so plenty will not be know in the land because of the famine following,for it will be severe. 32 And the dream was was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God,and God will shortly bring it to pass (NKJV)

Beginning with the Acronym "L" and "E "of the word leadership

L - Look Ahead verse 33-36

  1. Joseph from prison had been sent to Pharaoh.
  2. What is he going to do with him?
  3. After explaining the dream what was needed?

Here we need Human Resource Management.we need introspective Analysis.(The power on what will happen in future) especially in the church.

  1. The sunday school
  2. Bible studies
  3. Convections
  4. The state of departments.
  5. Departmental programmes
  6. T.V & FM stations with sexually induced medicines,and provocative dressing and attitude of our youth,men & women.What will happen in the nearby future-10years or 5years to come.

Through Joseph type of leadership Pharaoh & Egypt were able to look ahead and were able to make great preparations.

E - Enthusiastic ;verse 37

with church activities 

  1. Enthusiastic means very interested in something or excited by it.And spend time to do it.
  • Be devoted
  • Eager
  • Earnest
  • Hearty
  • Whole hearted 
  • Zealous 

As a leader or emerging leader take your time and study the people in the department and put them in various areas of interest.

Eg. Some cannot preach or teach but can-write(or report).

  • Drama
  • Singers
  • Project oriental
  • Speakers/preachers
  • Teachers
  • Advisers
  • Counselors
  • Planners
  • Organizers 

Share activities in such a way that everybody participate.

Since Joseph did this, leaders and emerging leaders are to be enthusiastic in the church to build the  body of Christ.

To be continued.........

Stay bless and be a good leader God has choosen you to .
