Introduction
Leadership is a part of the Christians Life.
We are all called to lead people to Jesus.
Leadership is not just for pastor and staff.
You are called by God to lead people to Christ.
Your Witness, your action, or words all must lead people to Christ.
So today I want to talk about your Spiritual Leadership.
Joshua was one of the greatest leaders of the Old Testament.
Today we will look at this leadership and find three key characteristic of Spiritual leadership.
A Spiritual Leader must be a Spiritual Servant.()

Man under authority…
Before claiming leadership authority over someone you must summit to accepting authority from someone.
Spiritual leadership requires submission to the authority of God and to God’s authority.
Joshua served as “Moses’ aide” for many years before he became a leader.
Summit to those in authority
Ex. 17:9
Ex.
Summit to God
A Spiritual Leader must be going somewhere.

A Spiritual Leader must be a Spiritual Sojourner.

Spiritual leadership leads people to better place.
Spiritual leadership take people on a journey with God.
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore
Spiritual leadership does not tell people “they’re ok” they tell them, “they’re not ok and that God has something better for them.
Spiritual leadership does not let people settle for less than what God has for them.
Can you see Joshua telling the people, “God has something more for you than this desert”!
God promise for you in on the other side of this river!”
They respond, “ but how are we to cross that river?”
God will take you over this river.”
BUT what about the Giants!
What about the Jericho!
God will fight your battles… THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S!
SPIRITUAL LEADERS LEAD PEOPLE TO THE LAND OF PROMISE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE TODAY WHO ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT LEAD THEM THE LAND OF PROMISE.
TODAY WILL YOU COMMIT TO BEING A SPIRITUAL LEADER:
SPIRITUAL LEADERS SPEAK UP.
SPIRITUAL LEADERS STEP UP.
SPIRITUAL LEADERS WAKE UP.
GOD’S PROMISES FOR YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER.
A Spiritual Leader must be a Spiritual Warrior.

Steps to success:
Be strong and courageous.
This words in the Hebrew meaning is close to the same.
God is not commanding Joshua to be physically strong but to be resolute.
God is looking for his leaders to have determination to accomplish God’s purpose.
1 I am resolved no longer to linger,
charmed by the world's delight;
things that are higher, things that are nobler, these have allured my sight.
Refrain:
I will hasten to Him,
hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
2 I am resolved to go to the Savior,
leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true one; He is the just one,
He has the words of life.
[Refrain]
3 I am resolved, and who will go with me?
Come, friends, without delay;
taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit,
we'll walk the heavenly way.
[Refrain]
Be careful to obey God’s Law.
Notice God’s instructions are not military matters but spiritual matters.
Our spiritual leadership is rooted in God’s word, not in our abilities.
The phase, “Be careful to obey” the words are used together as a word pair 40 times and refers to keeping and obeying God’s words of commands.
The world careful is also translated “Keeper” As spiritual leaders we are first “keepers of the law”.
do not turn to the right or left.
do not let it depart from you mouth
do not let is out of your mind.
do everything in it not somethings.
The Rich Young Ruler did many things right, but one thing wrong.
Be Blessed
Then you will be a prosperous and courageous.
Not Terrified
Not Discouraged
The LORD is with you!
And I don't expect to stop until I shake their hand they waiting now for me in heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
is world anymore
