The truth about nurturing and empowering servant leadership. Every leader ought to be wise (wisdom) and compassionate if they are servant leaders and understand the duty of service as public servants in the case of elected officials. Yet in every field of life servant leadership is the catalyst for social transformation. You are hired or elected or recruited to serve and not to be served upon. Servant leadership is built on your talents or specific skills set required for peacebuilding and nation building. In fact just be the one who washes the feet of the people in their condition relying upon the wisdom of God from above to do so as cited in James 3: 13-18 from the Amplified Bible
Wisdom from Above
“13 Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him by his good conduct show his [good] deeds with the gentleness and humility of true wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be arrogant, and [as a result] be in defiance of the truth. 15 This [superficial] wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly (secular), natural (unspiritual), even demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder [unrest, rebellion] and every evil thing and morally degrading practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable [and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile]. 18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness (spiritual maturity) is sown in peace by those who make peace [by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals]. “
