 THE
CHRISTIAN
LEADER
 Christian leadership springs
from
discipleship, is rooted in
character, centered in service,
corporates in nature and must
be powered and directed by
the Holy Spirit. The qualities of
character of a Christian
leader.
1. Above reproach
(I Timothy 3:2)
Someone whose immaculate
life attracts people to Jesus.
Just the sort of person that was
chosen by the early church
(Acts 6:3) people who were of
good reputation and therefore
trust worthy.
 2. Husband of one
wife
(I Timothy
Christian 3:2) is costly
leadership
and no Christian who aspires to
leadership can afford to heed
worldly rather than Biblical
attitudes to sex and sexual
relationship.
3. Temperate (I Timothy 3:2)
Walking in the Light of God,
rather than the darkness of
men, gives a wholly different
perspective on matters; which
to the world are of vital
importance. The Christian
leader should be led and
influenced by those things on
which god places high priority.
4. Prudent (I Timothy 3:2)
Prudence is a key
characteristics of maturity
and is at a premium in all kinds
of leadership. Prudence starts
with a clear appreciation of
one’s own worth, balanced by a
healthy complete dependence
on God.
5. Respectable
(I Timothy 3:2)
Literally one whose behavior,
life-style, appearance and
attitudes command respect even
from those who do not share his
Christian commitment.
6. Hospitable (I Timothy 3:2)
A practical sphere in which
the love of the leader is
demonstrated sacrificially. It
should be recognized that this is
not limited to married couple;
single Christians can
demonstrate practical loving
care in hospitality both to
other singles and to couples.
7. Able to Teach
(I Timothy 3:2)

Christian leader must invest

time and energy in learning so
that they can teach; learning is
as much a heart activity as a
head activity!
8. Not Addicted to Wine
(I Timothy 3:3)
This is not a command to total
abstinence but rather that nothing
should have the sort of hold on us
that alcohol has for the
drunkard; sports, hobbies, or work
even, can demand and gradually
achieve too high a place in our time
and attention.
9. Not self-willed
(Titus I:7)
To be self-willed is to be
unsubmissive. Self-will leads to
self-pleasing, vanity and pride.
 10. Not quick-
tempered
(Titus
“The fruitI:7)
of the Spirit is…
long-temperedness” – people and
situations that confront the
Christian leader will
frequently impose frustration.
Only a Christ-like response will
achieve a Christ-like outcome.
11. Not pugnacious
(Titus I:7)
We are blessed, according to
Jesus, when people maltreat us
for His sake, so we have no need to
respond aggressively. If we are
tempted to be pugnacious for any
other reason, it is an almost
certain sign of sin in ourselves.
12. Uncontentious
(I Timothy 3:3)
This is vital to corporate
leadership. Some who are
successful leaders in professions,
where they always have the final
say, revert to being quarrelsome
when places in a team. No one has
a monopoly of God’s knowledge
and wisdom.
13. Gentle (I Timothy 3:3)
“Blessed are the gentle for
they shall inherit the earth”,
say Jesus. A leader is much more
effective, even in a secular
context, when he treats his
subordinates gentle rather than
harshly. Gentleness inspires
affection, commitment to be held.
14. Free from the love of
Money (Timothy 3:3)
When money, possessions, public
recognition and the likes tie us to
our life on earth, we have
disqualified ourselves from
leadership of God’s people. If
anything tempts us to say “Come
back Lord Jesus, but not just yet”, we
should beware.
 15. One who manages his own
household well (Timothy 3:3)
Christian leadership, like
charity, begins at home. If one is
ineffective as a leader in the
context of home and family,
how can one expect to lead
God’s people?
