David was anything but perfect—lustful as a husband, weak as a father, and partial as a leader—yet he is the only one in all Scripture to be called “a man after God's own heart”. What was it in David that attracted God this much? After the historic victory with Goliath, the life of this humble shepherd boy seemingly took a downward turn. In all the series of unfortunate circumstances, God was at work, rerouting his life. Starting with a group of riff-raff, this cave dweller became the leader of an exceptional army because God wanted him to become a maverick king: In battle, he modeled invincibility. In decisions, he sought God’s mind for clarity, wisdom, and equity. In loneliness, he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust. In friendship, he was loyal to the end. In statesmanship, he portrayed integrity and humility. What an outstanding man! But what is it that distinguished David as one of God's greatest men? Come along with professor Z.T. Fomum in this down-to-earth book on Spiritual Leadership, for an in-depth study on the making of this poet, musician, courageous warrior, and shepherd of God's people—a man of passion and destiny with a God-dependent life of strength and leadership worth emulating.

God gives limitless authority to those whom He places in leadership. He backs them without any reservation but judges them with the greatest severity. Divine privileges carry with them great responsibilities. Are you a spiritual leader at any level? Is someone looking up to you to lead them to Christ or along the Christian way? Has God called you to lead one or more people out of the captivity of sin and self into the fullness of the obedient and sanctified life? Are you at a loss on how to become and continue to be the spiritual leader that God meant you to be? In Spiritual Leadership in the Pattern of Moses, the author, Z.T. Fomum, will take you through the necessary ingredients required to build the leadership wealth that sets you apart and promotes a mere seeker after God into a spiritual leader. He highlights twelve different sources of rebellion among God's people and their causes and provides godly solution pathways for each type. If you are looking for divine guidance in spiritual leadership delegation and succession or leadership perils and how to avoid them, then this is the book you need. From another angle, the author demonstrates that leadership is conditioned on a life sacrificed, spent, and sold out for others. It all starts with a deep and intimate knowledge of God, without which all spiritual leadership exercised would be from skill, talent, or natural endowment. Such can never satisfy God's heart; neither can it lead God's people to their destiny. If God has called you to lead one or more people, then this is a must-read for you!

Many people long for nominative leadership, but very few people qualify for intrinsic leadership. When we are first introduced to Gideon, we see a faint-hearted grain farmer sneaking around like a coward hiding in a winepress. He was the most unlikely of potential candidates for spiritual leadership. What kind of people does God choose and use to do His work? Throughout Scripture, we see unnervingly real men and women who faltered, struggled, and at times, fell short. In the words of John MacArthur, God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their strengths, or spin their stories as a display of human nobility. Instead, it describes these leaders of God's people with unflinching honesty and delivers an unexpected ending: “God is not ashamed to be called their God” (Hebrews 11:16). In Spiritual Leadership in the Pattern of Gideon, Pastor Theodore Andoseh takes us back to see the times, call, ordination, work, and perils of leadership in the life of Gideon—a weak man made strong. In doing so, it becomes clear how his story applies in our days to anyone who aspires to emerge as a leader of God's people. what did Gideon do to qualify for leadership? what did he do as a leader? what was involved in his leadership? what were the perils or dangers encountered during his leadership? In this book, you will see God at work in unexpected ways in what went into the making of Gideon’s call and the timely lessons on the emergence of intrinsic spiritual leadership.

Just like pouring out precious ointment, our dear brother Stephen Kaung ministered these five messages on being a spiritual leader as shown through the life of David, the man after God's own heart. He uses David's experiences to show four essential qualities necessary for spiritual leaders in the church-those who are fit for kingship and capable of leading and helping others. Spiritual leadership is of vital importance in the church today. As our brother shares: What the church lacks today is a group of individuals fit to be spiritual leaders. Today, many are saved, but the church is scattered, weak, and unable to fulfill God's will due to the lack of spiritual leadership. Therefore, the one great need is to have spiritual leaders who have a personal, spiritual walk with the Lord, and are ready to be used by the Lord to fulfill His heart's desire to prepare His bride ready for His soon return. The heart-felt burden of our dear brother was for God's church to be a healthy church. May the Lord be pleased to use this book to raise up spiritual leaders to carry out His will in His church in these last days. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
