BIBLICAL MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES.
Chapter 2: POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP.
God gives apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for Perfecting and equipping of saints who will minister and edify, resulting in unity, knowledge and perfectness that the body of Christ may be no more children (false doctrine) and grow up to Him (truth). The final result is effective working of all parts of the body in love. The spiritual gifts in leadership are :
-Speaking gifts – prophecy, teaching, exhortation, word of wisdom and word of knowledge.
-Serving gifts – serving, helps, leadership, administration, giving, showing mercy, discerning of spirits, Faith and hospitality.
-Signs gifts – tongues, interpretation of tongues, miracles and healing.
Leadership and administration gifts are especially important to managers. Everyone can serve. Even if a believer does not have one of the leadership gifts he has the potential of becoming a leader through proper development of his own spiritual gifts.
