Leadership is a marathon. It is an ongoing process.
Instruction is more of a consistent pattern of communication rather than just one teaching experience.
Paul says to Timothy:-
“If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.” (1 Timothy 4 v 6)
- Commit to a learning journey. Timothy had to be nourished by good teaching. Whether that comes to you by books, being mentored, attending conferences, studying further or many other pathways, the important thing is every leader needs to keep growing.
- Be a pointer of truth. That can be difficult. It can mean challenging conversations. It needs the leader to have a deep conviction of the truth. Of course the truth may not be what people want to hear.
- Successful leadership is measured not by how many people are following you but how many people you are serving.


spot on. It is so important to be a servant, rather than “an influencer”, who is seeking recognition for them selves, rather than God.
