Models of Leadership - Jeremiah - Reluctant Leader

One of the church's challenges is to find good and ellective leaders. Many are reluctant to take on the task. If you are called to leadership, but reluctant you are in good company. There are many Biblical examples, notably Jeremiah. Moses was another.

Jeremiah was mocked and his life was threatened leading to his wishing to escape his prophetic calling. Maybe we also wish to abandon some aspect of our Christian service? But, maybe, like Jeremiah, we will also discover we cannot abandon our call. Jeremiah found that it was like a fire within him that could not be put out. God does call us to take risks, but always provides the resources we need.
