Leaders on Assignment

“But you, Timothy, have closely followed my example and the truth that I’ve imparted to you. You have modeled your life after the love and endurance I’ve demonstrated in my ministry by not giving up.” (2 Timothy 3:10 TPT) It’s rewarding to follow good leaders, but it’s not always easy. Leaders have an assignment from Jesus, the head of the church, to equip believers for the work of the ministry, to build them up and bring them into unity of faith and increasing maturity. His aim is to produce followers who are stable and not easily deceived, sidetracked, or tossed about by the latest wind of doctrine.
