Leadership [ James 3 v 1 ]

I was having a conversation with some Christians from Africa ,they were telling me about those in leadership who exploited people, these so called ministers of Christ. They preached a so called prosperity gospel, now I believe God does prosper His people,but it is not by exploiting the vunerable ,and lining ones own pocket.One of the qualifications for leadership, is not being a lover of money [1 Timothy 3v3], it is so easy to exploit the role of Christian leadership, and to take advantage of the vunerable, and many are doing this. The challenge of Christian leadship is to feed the flock of God, not to starve it,to care for it ,not to wound it, to sacrifice for it ,not to exploit it.There is coming a day in which those Christian leaders, who have exploited their position, will stand before Jesus,[ as we all will] and they will address Him as Lord,only to hear the solemn words from Him,/ I never new you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity[ Matthew 7 v23 ] [ Dear God we ask that you would raise up leaders in your church,who will not exploit your dear chidren, in Jesus name we ask this Amen ]
