Scripture Passage: Matthew 23:1-4
A Leader Must Lead by Example.
People will not do what the leader says, they will do what the leader does; therefore the leader must lead by example. Jesus began to do and teach (Acts 1:1). A leader must practise what he preaches. To say and not do makes you a hypocrite and those who follow you will soon resent you and turn away from you. Remember, if you are fake, people can usually spot you a mile away, so in the long run you deceive no one but yourself.
Prayer: Father, help me to practise what I preach.
