I Peter 5:1-4, 6-11:
- Peter refers to Christian
leaders as witnesses of the suffering of Christ and partakers of the glory that
is to be revealed during his second coming, - They should, therefore, look
after the flock of Christ with tenderness, - They should not regard their
assignment as a burden, rather, they should discharge their duties willingly, - Not for shameful material gain but eagerly,
- Not by being overbearing,
but serving as true example/role model to the flock, - They would reap their
due reward in due course when the Lord comes, - Leaders should humble
themselves under the mighty hand of God for God to exalt them, - They must
be sober and watchful because Satan is roaring around looking for whom to
destroy, - They should resist Satan at all costs and be firm in their faith,
- Suffering is part of the Christian’life,
- God will reward them for
their role.
Three problems facing Church leaders:
- Problem of
handling the youth, - Rivalry between the youth and elders,
- External
opposition form Government, - Church finance,
- Tribalism/nepotism
- Status of women/gender issue/gay marriage
- Doctrinal issues
- Declining faith among followers/backsliding
- Greed/materialism
- Disregard
for authority - Position seeking.
