So many Leaders in the past have ran well in their beginning but somehow fall apart after time. Is it because their vision was short sited or did their spirit(attitude) change?
Would you say that only a chosen few are born in this World to become Leaders?
Or was everyone born with the capacity to be a Leader within their own right? (specialty of service)
Being all members of the same one Body;
Are there ANY MEMBERS more Special then the others?
Let me say it like this. When dealing with your own Body. I'm pretty sure that if you had to choose which member of your natural body HAD to be cut off, you would deem one more important then the other.
The Difference is, we are not speaking of YOUR natural body but THE BODY OF CHRIST. Which is made unto Perfection with ONE LEADER!
1. So should we tamper with any of HIS members or should we let HIM take the LEAD?
2. Should we trespass as children telling each other "You Better Do What Daddy Said or Else"?
3. Or should we stay at/on our post as an individual Member giving our Specialty Services for Betterment of the Whole Body?
4. If so, then why is it neccesary to have earthly Leaders representing on behalf of the Whole Body?
5. Who is it that they Lead? Believers or Non-Believers meaning;(Current Members of the Body or Potential Members)

- In regard to the BODY of CHRIST it is and has been a perfectly functioning Body that consist of all righteous members. Meaning members (body parts) that are in agreement with the ONE LEADER which is the Spirit/Mind of CHRIST. Just as the passage that was quoted in John 19 saying "Let no bone be broken of HIM". All of HIS Righteous Members will forever stay intake and cannot be replaced. Remember, there isn't any of CHRIST'S Members that is not a Righteous Believer (In total alignment) in HIM.
- These members (body parts) have there own individual assignments(gifts of service) and they are Specialist in their Craft. All working together for the Good Health and Wealth of the Whole ONE Body. Because this happens, the BODY OF CHRIST ALWAYS PRODUCES.
It is Never a Time where CHRIST is nonoperational.
Meaning Each Member of HIS BODY automatically reflects as the Light of the World drawing mankind unto HIM.
Not necessarily seeking out men but by just knowing and being who we are. Although the scriptures doesn't describe Jesus as a handsome man HE was yet magnetic!
HE declared that if HE be lifted up HE will draw all men unto HIM! What was HE saying? As HIS Members (Believers) are recognized throughout the Earth. Their attractive nature draws potential members - (Non Believers) to seek the same glorious nature that they reflect. The Love of CHRIST compels each Member to Lead non-believers to the feet of CHRIST whom ultimately transform their mindset from faith to faith. As it is written in Romans 1:17, Romans 12:2, and Philippians 2:5
- "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
- 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus - A constant production of Believers (members) being added to the BODY of CHRIST daily.
The scripture tells us in Matthew 6:33
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS - There is very important insight on what happens in the process of seeking the righteousness of GOD with the story of Ruth.
- The willingness of Ruth to be a great follower ultimately resulted in her becoming a patriarch of Faith Leading people to JESUS which is a direct offspring of Ruth the Great grandmother of David. So then the life of Ruth Lead people daily through the record.
The job of a Leader is to Lead people of ignorance to where wisdom reside. After that just as John the Baptist, they decreased so that GOD will give the farther increase. - So with all this being said. The only way for a Leader actions to be confirmed as the WORK of GOD is that it produces GOOD FRUIT. Nonbelievers are continously being transformed to believers, adding true functioning members to the BODY of CHRIST daily.
