MODULE: Organizing Resources for Outreach Harvesting
COURSE: CTI: 116 Biblical Leadership & Management Principles
INTRODUCTION
This study presents principles of management revealed in God's written Word, the Holy Bible. "Management" is another word for "stewardship.” "Stewards,” or "managers,” are responsible over something entrusted to them by someone else. As Believers, each of us are managers of Spiritual resources with which God has entrusted us.
A serious problem with many Christian leaders is that of organizing and managing these Spiritual resources. If laborers for Spiritual harvest are few as the Bible indicates, then they should be properly organized and mobilized.
Human growth occurs through the multiplication of living cells and the development of a skeleton to support them. For the body of Christ to grow, structure is also important. Spiritual life brings growth that we must be prepared to support.
This course is first in a series of three in the "Organizing Module" of training offered by CATEVA Outreach. This study, along with the courses "CTI: 117 Foundations of Environmental Analysis” and "CTI: 118 God’s Master Plan for Management by Objectives" which follow, will help you become a good steward of Spiritual resources.
We recommend that these three courses be, studied in order for proper understanding of the leadership, planning, and organization necessary for effective ministry.
This course introduces the subject of management, identifies leadership positions, and stresses the importance of the anointing to lead. Biblical principles of leading like a Servant and Shepherd and qualifications for leaders are, also discussed.
Major tasks of leaders are, reviewed with emphasis on decision-making and handling conflicts. Guidelines for training leaders and followers are given, and principles of success and reasons for failure examined.
The Appendix of this course provides opportunity for learning additional principles by studying examples of great leaders in the Bible.
