Marks of a leader

“A beautiful palace does not a king make.” (Jer 22:15) The trappings and privileges of leadership do not make a leader. A leader is one who does what is right, cares for the oppressed and demonstrates his walk with the Lord by the way he treats people. (Jer 22:15-16). Leadership is not about rank and privilege. It is about service. What is your goal? What is your motivation? Are you in it for yourself? Do you realize that God gives you power and influence to help others? Have you come to your royal position “for such a time as this?” (Est 4:14).
