Download or read book Leading a Local Church Volume 2 written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a heart surgery of the spiritual leader. The leader’s inner life—spiritual condition—is determinant. Without a deep and intimate knowledge of God, any leadership exercised is from skill, talent, or natural endowment. It can never satisfy God's heart; neither can it lead God's people to destiny. In Leading a Local Church (Volume 2), the author, Z.T. Fomum, will take you through the necessary heart cultivation required to build the leadership wealth that will set you apart and promote a mere seeker after God into a spiritual leader. He show-case the spiritual dynamics that will empower anyone in leadership at all levels with the capacity to move God to move and transform both men and situations. And since the heart condition of a leader is most altered in the place of prayer—where the heart is welded to that of God, then it is obvious that no spiritual leader can go beyond his performance in the closet—time spent alone with God. From another angle, the author demonstrates that leadership is conditioned on a life sacrificed, spent, and sold out for others. He elaborates at great length some critical aspects of spiritual leadership like strategic planning, the setting of goals, providing a model, etc., alongside practical strategies on how to successfully start and progress in leading a local church. The normal member of the local church is not left out, since they play a key role in their leader's well-being. This book will be of great help in providing insight on how you can be a source of great encouragement and spiritual progress booster to your leader. If you are actively leading or aspiring to lead God's people and are determined to dive deep into God so as to take those under your leadership to God’s heights and full approval, then this book is for you.

Download or read book Leading a Local Church written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book “Leading a Local Church” is a compilation of the teaching of Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum addressed to the saints in Yaoundé, Cameroon during a leadership training course. The book presents what it takes to lead a local church and what leadership is. The author explains the critical place of having a goal geared towards the saving of the lost in the building of a local church. The method for the accomplishment of the goal is the making of disciples. When a shepherd leaves the flock just for a day in pursuit of gain, he has put a knife into his heart and things will never be the same afterwards. A shepherd who loves the world has lost God, has lost the vision and has betrayed the sheep. According to the author, the spiritual gift of leadership is the unusual ability to produce other leaders. The leader is the one who takes risks and breaks new grounds. Leadership is a call to provide a model. We recommend this book to you while praying that the Lord will use it to make of you a leader who has put on God enough to be able to lead a local church and raise others of his kind.

'Three Priorities for a Strong and Local Church' is a must reading for ministers, but also for church staffers, vestry, elders, counselors, teachers, small-group leaders - anyone who cares deeply about the church of Jesus Christ and what it can be.
