“Their [spiritual leaders] responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). Spiritual leadership is about teaching, assisting, and motivation believers. Paul writes that spiritual leaders are to equip (prepare) people for works of service. The task entails imparting spiritual truths and guiding believers to understand and embrace their spiritual gifts, then unite them in service for the mission of the church. It is a prime task of church leaders to attend to the varied details involved in preparing believers, then release them to become all that God intended. Leadership that focuses on developing people has proven to be beneficial in the market place as well as the church.
