A Thought!

I have been soberly reminded of the fact that true spiritual leadership is as scarce today as million dollars bills are. Up until now, I have simply looked at the person who fills the position as a spiritual leader. It is apparent to me, at this point, that not every occupant is a true spiritual leader of men. God has a hard time finding leaders because men either will not yield themselves as pupils in His “school of hard knocks”, or they indulge in sin so much that they are in no condition to lead others because of their testimony. Still others feel that they only need training and a diploma to serve. Human education is simply not enough to equip an individual. God makes the spiritual leader through the sanctification process of the Holy Ghost maturing the servant into the image of Christ. The spiritual leader is always learning, even while holding an office and edifying his peers.
