What are leadership qualities found in the Bible?

While this list is endless, we look at 4.




1. “Servant Leadership: Leading by Example”
Keyword focus: servant leadership devotional, Christian servant leader
🕊️ Scripture: “But whoever would be great among you must be your servant.” – Mark 10:44‑45
Matthew 20:25-28 “Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them…Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant…just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.
Reflection: Jesus led through humble service, washing His disciples’ feet. True leadership means being first in service, not status.
Action: Serve someone today in your team—small acts build big trust. Leaders are called to serve, not dominate.

Action: Identify one challenge your team faces, then take a step—any step—toward resolving it this week.
3. “Leaders Delegate: Empower & Multiply”

🤝 Scripture: “Moses’ father‑in‑law said… ‘You cannot do it alone.’” – Exodus 18:17‑23
Reflection: Moses learned the hard way—delegation empowers others and avoids burnout. A godly leader builds a team, not a solo act.

4. “Leaders Pray: Leading with Divine Guidance”
