What is a Leader?

   Many people have different definitions for the word leader. There are many ways to explain what a leader is, does, and how to become one. I personally have the pleasure to be a leader. I am actually at the moment a leader of a fine arts ministry. I teach biblical studies, and pantomime. Within the two years in ministry, I’ve experienced numerous of things, which made me who I am today.

As a leader you come to a point where you realize it’s not about you, it’s about doing the Lord’s work, regardless of the amount of hard work it will take to complete the spiritual task. Each task completed gets you that much closer to the goal God has set for you and your ministry. The Lord has called me to start a family ministry, where the Lord can do his will through fine arts. God has commanded me to speak his message through arts, and give his people a visual of his presence, power, and anointing. In other words, we’re led by the Holy Spirit to bring a bit of heaven to Earth.

Through these two years in ministry, I’ve seen not only students spiritually grow but also myself. There is much more to grow, but together as one we will complete the spiritual goal ahead of us, and become the men and women God has called us to be. I recently gave my students a one on one. Where I met with each one and told them my personal views on how I saw them spiritually. I was completely honest about things I liked, disliked, and the things which needed to change. If you meet me in person, or ever have me as your leader, you will realize I’m a straight forward person, and I tell it how it is.

The word of God is clear, and that is how leaders must be towards those who surround them. I gave my students the opportunity to write down their personal views of me, as their leader. I learned that I myself have things I must improve on. This was a real eye opener for me, and it allowed me to realize all that I have to look forward to. Instead of getting upset, I became joyful, because I know God is continuously molding me, into the man, leader, brother, and Christian, I was created to be.

What is a leader? A leader is someone who accepts the fact they are not perfect, and when the truth is told to their face, they receive it, and place it into action. In other words they do something about it!
