Leadership Lessons From Nehemiah – Chapter 1
Posted By Aaron Marcelli on July 28, 2010
I have begun reading through the book of Nehemiah and just keeping a list of all the leadership principles I come across. I cannot believe a church planter has not written a book yet about all the principles in Nehemiah that apply to ministry and church planting.
These leadership nuggets though apply to all fields and I’m going to use the next several posts to share with you my findings.
- Pray on behalf of those you’re burdened for
- Know the people’s sins so you can intercede for them
- And own those community sins. You cannot detach yourself from the people and reach them.
- Claim God’s promises that relate to the situation
- Specifically name what practical actions you are going to take and ask for success
- Take action immediately “make me successful today”
- Pray for the others you don’t even know who have the same burden or are called to the same work

Sounds like you have a new book idea (probably amongst 100 others, right?)
Those are great lessons and I find it interesting that a good bit of them deal with prayer.
