Daily Devotional: 12th May “AT THE FOREFRONT”

Date:

READ : 1 Peter 5:1-8

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” – 1 Corinthians 11:1

A leader is someone who is ahead of his followers. That is what makes him a leader. You’ve got to be seen to be at least one step ahead of the people you are leading. Jesus was a good leader. He was definitely one step ahead when it came to prayer. He prayed more than His disciples did. He preached more than His disciples did. He sacrificed more than His disciples did.

A Christian leader has invisible areas in which he must stay ahead. It is his leadership in these invisible areas that makes him a true leader. Ten areas for every Christian leader to stay ahead:

1. Stay ahead in prayer.
2. Stay ahead in Bible reading.
3. Stay ahead in reading Christian books.
4. Stay ahead in listening to tapes.
5. Stay ahead in sacrificing to God.
6. Stay ahead in the area of giving.
7. Stay ahead in waiting on God.
8. Stay ahead in holiness.
9. Stay ahead in the love of God.
10. Stay ahead in your relationship with God.

A true leader must be able to say like Paul did, “Follow me as I follow Christ.”

If you are a leader, you must be a step ahead in your public life and in private too. If you are prayerful in secret, your followers will recognize it and do likewise.
