Ephesians 6:4, Mark 10:42

The Bible equates being a man with leadership. By implication, being the head of a family means assuming the position of a leader. Sadly, our concept of leadership in Africa lays the foundation for its failure among us. Leadership is simply the ability to influence people to achieve worthwhile goals. In Mark 10:42, Jesus further points out the essence of leadership as SERVICE.

He explains that the greatest leader is one who has come not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a sacrifice for all. Man's traditions, culture, thoughts, and belief systems have, nonetheless, made it impossible for God's power to work effectively in the society.
