Every leader’s goal is
to focus on Christ to make an impact in people’s life to the glory of God in
order to magnify him. However, these days, most leaders' aim is to chase after
social status and recognition from people. For, as I have often told you before and now tell
you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their
destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory
is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things (Philippians
3:18-19).
Furthermore, most leads compare their ministry to
others and it breeds unhealthy competition forgetting that everyone has a
distinct gift that God has deposited in him or her. For instance, Ministry A is
organizing a church program and church attendance is low. He or she begins to
compare his or her ministry to Ministry B. He or she then forces his or her church
members to do things that they normally will not do to outperform the other
Ministry. Christianity is never forcing people to do things out of their own
will but rather freedom of worship in Christ Jesus. It is a wrong misconception
that people have that the larger your congregation or building, the greater
your ministry. Your ministry is greater when you have humbled yourself under
God’s hands to serve others and he has used you to impact lives. Christ is our
role model, we are supposed to imitate Christ and follow in his exemplary life.
