D. L. Moody was once challenged by a friend who said, “The world has yet to see what God can do with a man wholly yielded to God.”  Moody vowed, “By the grace of God, I will be that man.”  Only God knows the total impact Moody’s life made on the world. 

God looks for men and women who are totally yielded to Him.  He can do far more through one person than any number of men or women can do without God.  In Titus you’ll find a standard test to discover spiritual leaders.  Try to make up a list of qualifications from the book.  Then make up a list of guidelines for those in leadership that might help them fulfill their task in a way that would please God. 

Paul instructed Titus to encourage young men to be self-controlled.  Then he says in chapter 2 verses 7 – 8, “In everything set them an example by doing what is good.  In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” 

A leader has three audiences.  The first is God.  Seek always to please Him.  Then, those he is leading and equipping for ministry.  Finally, those who are watching.  It’s important to order your life so the second and third audiences see God at work in your life and hear a clear message that is consistent with your life.  That will grow Christians and attract unbelievers to consider Christianity.  Most importantly, it will please God!
