Como ser um líder cristão que inspira mudanças positivas?

Um líder cristão deve ser uma fonte de inspiração, tanto na igreja quanto fora dela. Mas como podemos nos tornar agentes de mudança alinhados aos princípios bíblicos?

1. Sirva com humildade

Jesus nos deu o maior exemplo de humildade ao lavar os pés de seus discípulos (João 13:14,15). Ser humilde como líder é essencial para ganhar o respeito e a confiança daqueles que você lidera.

12-17 Then he said, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master,’ and rightly so. That is what I am. So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other’s feet. I’ve laid down a pattern for you. What I’ve done, you do. I’m only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn’t give orders to the employer. If you understand what I’m telling you, act like it—and live a blessed life.

João 13:14,15

2. Escute antes de agir

Um bom líder escuta com atenção antes de tomar decisões. Tiago 1:19 diz:

Act on What You Hear

19-21 Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.

Tiago 1:19

3. Seja um exemplo vivo

Liderança verdadeira começa com integridade. 1 Timóteo 4:12 nos encoraja:

11-14 Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.
