Devotion from Pastor Kong:

Qualifications For Leadership
1 Mar 2009

They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God, for they offer theofferings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
Leviticus 21:

The call to spiritual leadership is a great privilege and honor. There were 12 conditions given for
the selection of priests:

(1) No man who is blind. You have to be a person of vision and revelation. A leader leads from the front. If you don’t know what God is saying and where He is taking you, you can’t be a leader in the house of the Lord.

(2) No man who is lame. God is holy. If you are not walking uprightly with the Lord, you can’t be His leader.

(3) No man with a flat nose (KJV). In the Bible, the nose symbolizes spiritual discernment. A leader has to be a discerner of people’s hearts (Heb. 5:14).

(4) No man with any limb too long. This speaks of those who are unbalanced in doctrine or those who have added teachings that are not of God. Such people would lead Christians astray.

(5) No man with a broken foot. Proverbs 25:19 talks about an unfaithful man as a person with a broken foot. A leader has to be reliable and trustworthy.

(6) No man with a broken hand. Such a priest can’t carry the vessels of the Lord in the tabernacle. His services would be faulty. A leader must have the ability to serve God well.

(7) No man who is a hunchback. A leader must be able to shoulder burdens. He must have a steely backbone to carry the weight of the ministry.

(8) No man who is a dwarf. Someone who is immature and stunted in his spiritual growth can’t be a leader in God’s house.

(9) No man with a defect in his eye. Jesus talks about being single-eyed (Matt. 6:22, KJV). Being focused and determined to fulfill the vision of the Lord is a leadership qualification.

(10) No man with scurvy (KJV). This person is not properly nourished in his life. A leader has to feed on daily manna from heaven—the Word of God.

(11) No man with a scab. You can’t be a leader if your life is not spotless and without blemish. A leader of God must have proven character and a good reputation.

(12) No man who is a eunuch. A leader in God’s house must have the capacity to produce life and bring forth fruit.

I think that this is a good devotion for all of us- to take a look and re-examine our lives of the qualities that we would like to develop in the house of God. Though not all of us are called to be CGL but i believe that God has called us to be leaders in His house in all areas.

In line with what i shared with you guys on Friday about Speaking life into the dry bones in our lives and breaking through to the next level, let's also look at this and put everything into perspectives in our lives :)
