Book excerpt: For Church leaders in the twenty-first century who subscribe to the Inerrancy of the Bible and its authority in all matters of life and practice, change is necessary for the spiritual growth of the Church. The goal is to prepare Christian leaders to obey their creed by leading through biblical guidance. In his analysis of the leadership principles and style of Nehemiah, author Dr. R. Zarwulugbo Liberty proposes a paradigm shift back to Godly leadership as exemplified by Nehemiah, who: ? Pays attention to details (Neh 1: 1-3). ? Cares for his people and country (Neh 1: 3). ? Loves God (Neh 1: 4) with all his heart, soul, mind, strength, and loves his neighbor as himself (Mk 12: 30-31). ? Prays persistently (Neh 1: 4-11) and fears God in all that he does. ? Establishes a genuine relationship with God (Neh 1: 5). ? Serves God and his people with a servant?s heart and takes personal responsibility (Neh 1: 5-6). ? Obeys God?s command and has the ability to repent (Neh 1: 6-7). ? Knows and applies God?s Word in every condition (Neh 1: 8-9). ? Believes in God?s great power of redemption (Neh 1: 10). ? Serves on God?s mission with excellence and respects authority (Neh 2: 1-2).
