05/17/21 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SPIRITUAL LEADERS
Basic requirements for leadership in early history of Israel.
1 Men with Abilities,
2 who revere God,
3 trust God,
4 are honest, selfless.
These are the directives God gave to Moses
(through Jethro) concerning the appointment of other men as assistance
during the Wilderness Journey.
I will give you the passage and then a little commentary.
Exodus 18:21
21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as
fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them,
to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties,
and rulers of tens:
1. Able men... men with abilities, skills, talents go do certain tasks.
2. Such as fear God... reverence God, honor God, obey God.
3. Men of truth... men who believe and are committed to God's revelation, God's truth.
4. Men who hate covetousness... men who will not be bribed, bought off, honest men.
These principles are still applicable to God's ministry today.
