LEADERSHIP OF THE KINGDOM
3. LEADERSHIP STYLE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

As a leader in the Kingdom of God you are called to perform duties that are impossible in natural realm! You will face only impossibilities without God and His miracle working power. That is the job description of the Kingdom of God! Therefore, Jesus said, "Without Me you can do nothing!" This condition forces you as a leader to become empty from your own capacity and thoughts. You can trust only God and learn to obey His will, plan, strategy and methods.

When you yield yourself unto Jesus, you will never seek position or honor of men. You just seek to minister people as God leads you. You will never criticize any leaders around you but instead you will seek to find out God's solutions for the people. You will seek to bring life of God in place of death. You will honor God, fearing to rob any of His glory. You will wear the mantle of humility with great zeal and care.

As a leader of the Kingdom of God you cannot continue in businesses which make you partaker of inequities. You cannot follow under the authority that forces you to deny Jesus or apply unholy principles. You will serve only one Master, Jesus Christ, who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The anointing of the Holy Spirit will reveal secret things in your life and around. His light and fire will purify, sanctify and separate you for God's purposes. That will cause pain in your flesh but it will bring the glorious freedom in your spirit.

Be prepared to make your decisions alone according to the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will transform you and strengthen you to make difficult decisions and keep them. He will make you strong in love and wisdom to execute your decisions. You need to be aware of Jesus and His mind in all of your ministry. Jesus will always be your Master and Authority. He will be enough to you. He surely will.

Matthew 20:25-28: But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and those in high position exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

This is the leadership style of the Kingdom of God. Jesus applied this doctrine and we as His followers are called to do the same. This was revolutionary in His time and it will always be. The anointing and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit will make you to be a leader like this:

  • Your motivation to lead will be God's love towards your people. You will seek the best of your followers and you will be prepared to offer yourself as a ransom for the other.

  • You will never seek after any position, power, wealth or honor. Instead, you will seek to serve people and lead them to Jesus. You will not receive any honor for yourself but you will give all honor and glory to God. You will not be afraid to establish and lead great ministries together with Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • You will never control, manipulate, oppress or abuse your people. Instead of that you will lift up, encourage and strengthen your followers. You will not allow the stronger ones to oppress the weaker ones but you will teach and command everyone to protect and take care of those who need help.

  • You will teach your people to find those who have been lost. You will teach an equip them to heal the sick and deliver the captives. You will be able to demonstrate the power of God for the people. You will pray for your people and protect them with authority.

  • You will not force or bind your followers by any means. You will seek the goal and direction from God and call people to reach out to the same goal. You will not have your own goals but instead you will unite yourself with the goals and strategies of Jesus.

  • You will live according to your teaching. Your high ethics, quality of your heart, purity of your life, your devotion to God and strength against evil powers will produce the appreciation of the people in your ministry.

  • You will be able to discern the calling and anointing of your followers. You will nourish those gifts, strengthen them and appoint into the duties according to their anointing.

  • You will love to bring up new more anointed leaders than you are. You will not be jealous and never compete with anyone. This kind of sowing into the Kingdom of God will cause you as a leader to grow enormously in your anointing and ministry.

  • You will have clear calling, vision and understanding about your duty before God and people. You will boldly and clearly proclaim your vision to people and call them to follow. Your preaching will inspire and wake up people. You will see people with desperate hunger and thirst for God in your ministry! Hungry ones will follow and grow with you.

  • You will have supernatural qualities merged inside of you. You will have the courage of a lion and the gentleness of a lamb. You will have great boldness and surprising meekness. You might be young or old, educated or uneducated, man or woman and so on...!
