Module 1 – The Foundation of Leadership
Topic 1: Leadership as Divine Calling
Scripture Reading
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
Introduction
Leadership in the Christian worldview is not primarily a matter of human ambition, social influence, or personal achievement. It begins with God. Before Jeremiah was even born, the Lord declared His sovereign calling upon his life. This sets the tone for biblical leadership: God calls, God equips, and God sends.
Thus, Christian leadership is more than a profession—it is a divine vocation. It cannot be reduced to a career path or mere human aspiration; rather, it is rooted in the eternal purposes of God for His people and for His Kingdom.
Exposition of the Text
-
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…”
-
Leadership is rooted in God’s foreknowledge. Long before we were aware of our potential, God already knew His plan for our lives.
-
This means true leadership flows from God’s initiative, not man’s invention.
-
-
“…before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee…”
-
The word sanctified indicates being set apart for God’s holy purpose.
-
Leadership, then, is not just about skill or position; it is a sacred trust.
-
-
“…and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
-
The word ordained reveals divine appointment and commissioning.
-
Leadership involves not only being chosen but also being sent into mission.
-
This progression—known, sanctified, ordained—shows that true leadership is a calling sealed in eternity, shaped in holiness, and expressed in mission.
Theological Reflection
-
Leadership is God-centered. It originates from God’s plan, not from self-promotion.
-
Leadership is purpose-driven. God’s call has direction—it aims to fulfill His redemptive will.
-
Leadership is sacred. To lead God’s people is to handle holy matters; it is never to be taken lightly.
Values Integration
-
Humility – A leader called by God does not boast in his ability but depends on God’s grace.“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise…” (1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV)
-
Responsibility – Leadership is stewardship. It is a trust given for the welfare of others.“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.” (1 Corinthians 4:1 KJV)
-
Obedience – The mark of a called leader is readiness to respond, like Samuel:“Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth.” (1 Samuel 3:9 KJV)
Practical Applications for Students
-
Discovering Calling – Reflect on talents, passions, and burdens God has placed in your heart. Leadership begins with aligning these with God’s purpose.
-
Prayerful Surrender – Commit your ambitions to God. Pray not just for opportunities to lead, but for clarity of His calling.
-
Daily Faithfulness – Leadership is proven not first in public roles but in private obedience to God. Small acts of faithfulness are stepping stones to greater responsibilities.
Discussion Questions
-
How does Jeremiah 1:5 shape our understanding of leadership as divine calling rather than human ambition?
-
What dangers arise when leadership is pursued apart from God’s calling?
-
In what ways can you personally discern whether God is calling you into leadership?
-
How can humility, responsibility, and obedience be practiced as a student leader today?
Devotional Thought
Leadership is not something you take—it is something you receive. If God has called you, He has already known, sanctified, and ordained you for a purpose. Like Jeremiah, you may feel unqualified, but God’s call carries His enabling grace. The true foundation of leadership is not who you are but who God is.
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24 KJV)

This module argues that Christian leadership isn't just a job, but a calling from God, using Jeremiah 1:5 to show that God has a plan for leaders before they're even born. Real leadership comes from God, who knows, sets apart, and appoints people for a purpose. Important qualities like humility, responsibility, and obedience are key, and students should find their calling by matching their skills and passions with God's plan through prayer and being faithful every day. The module encourages thinking about how to know God's call and live out these values, reminding us that leadership is a gift from God, who helps us fulfill it, making it all about His plan and relying on His help, not our own strength.

1. Jeremiah 1:5 and leadership
For me, this verse means leadership isn’t about proving myself. God already planned my role. I just need to live it out with purpose.
2. Dangers without God’s calling
When I try to lead on my own, I notice I get prideful, stressed, or even unfair. Without God, leadership can hurt relationships instead of helping them.
3. Discerning God’s call
I sense God’s call when I pray, reflect, and see peace in serving others, whether helping at school, supporting my family, or guiding my siblings.
4. Practicing values
Humility for me is not making things about myself, responsibility is doing my part faithfully, and obedience is following God even in small choices. That’s how I try to lead in school and at home.

1.How does Jeremiah 1:5 shape our understanding of leadership as divine calling rather than human ambition?
Jeremiah 1:5 shows that leadership is God’s special calling, not just something we pick for ourselves. For example, if I’m asked to lead a group project, it’s not just because I want to be in charge, but because I have a role to serve others and do my best with God’s help. Even if I feel nervous or unprepared, like Jeremiah did, I can trust that God will guide and equip me. This teaches me that true leadership means following God’s plan and using my abilities to help others, not just seeking power or attention.
2. What dangers arise when leadership is pursued apart from God's calling?
When someone tries to be a leader without God’s calling, they might become prideful and selfish, caring more about their own power than helping others. This can hurt the people they lead, cause fights, and make others stop trusting them. Without God’s guidance, a leader might not have the right wisdom or heart to lead with kindness and honesty.
3. In what ways can you personally discern whether God is calling you into leadership?
I can tell God is calling me to leadership when I feel a strong inner pull to help and guide others, when people often come to me for advice or support, and when I feel peace and confidence about stepping up even if it’s challenging. It usually feels like a deep sense of purpose and a desire to serve, not just to be in charge.
4.How can humility, responsibility, and obedience be practiced as a student leader today?
Even though I have never been a student leader, I believe I can practice humility by being open to others’ ideas and admitting my mistakes. I would show responsibility by completing my tasks on time and doing my best to support my team. I would also follow the rules and respect my teachers and mentors because they help guide me. By doing these things, I believe I can grow into a leader that others can trust and look up to.

1. Jeremiah 1:5 emphasizes that God has a plan and purpose for individuals from the very beginning, even before they are born. This verse suggests that leadership is not merely a result of personal ambition or a pursuit of power, but a role that God has specifically designed and set apart for certain individuals.
2. When leadership is pursued without a foundation in discipleship and a relationship with God, it can lead to personal destruction and harm to those being led. Leaders who are not connected to God may be driven by selfish ambition, neglecting the needs of others and potentially causing harm. Pride, self-conceit, and a lack of humility are also dangers that can arise when leaders focus on their own desires rather than God's will
3. Discerning God's call involves recognizing an inner peace and conviction that you have heard from God and must obey. This can be confirmed through the affirmation of others, as well as evaluating your effectiveness in ministry.
4. As a student leader, humility can be demonstrated by being ready to accept suggestions and criticisms from peers, seeing yourself as one of them rather than a boss. Responsibility involves being accountable for your actions, ensuring tasks are completed, and taking initiative. Obedience can be practiced by aligning actions with the goals of the community you serve and adhering to moral codes and standards.

1. How does Jeremiah 1:5 shape our understanding of leadership as divine calling rather than human ambition?
Jeremiah 1:5 clearly emphasizes that leadership originates with God, not with personal desire or ambition. God says, “Before I formed thee… I knew thee… I sanctified thee… I ordained thee…”—each phrase showing that Jeremiah's role as a prophet was predestined, set apart, and commissioned by God Himself.
This teaches us that leadership, especially in a Christian context, is not self-made, but God-initiated. It is about fulfilling God’s purpose, not achieving personal success or recognition.
2. What dangers arise when leadership is pursued apart from God’s calling?
Pursuing leadership without God’s calling can lead to several dangers:
• Pride and Self-Reliance – Without divine direction, leaders may rely on their own wisdom, seeking glory for themselves rather than pointing others to God.
• Misuse of Influence – Leadership pursued out of ambition can lead to manipulation, control, or abuse of power.
3. In what ways can you personally discern whether God is calling you into leadership?
• Prayer and Devotion – Spending time in God’s presence and His Word allows the Holy Spirit to confirm His call and clarify your direction.
• Affirmation from Others – God often uses mentors, pastors, or spiritual leaders to confirm what He is already showing you.
• Fruitfulness in Small Things – Faithfulness in small, unseen responsibilities is a testing ground for greater leadership.
4. How can humility, responsibility, and obedience be practiced as a student leader today?
• Humility
- Acknowledge that all gifts and opportunities come from God.
- Listen to others' input and value their perspectives.
- Serve without needing recognition or praise.
• Responsibility
- Be dependable in tasks, whether big or small.
- Use your influence to uplift and encourage others, not to control or criticize.
- Be a good steward of time, resources, and opportunities.
• Obedience
- Follow through with what God asks, even when it's inconvenient or unpopular.
- Prioritize time for prayer and the Word to stay aligned with God’s will.

1. How does Jeremiah 1:5 shape our understanding of leadership as divine calling rather than human ambition?
According to Jeremiah 1:5, God has a purpose for every individual even before they are born. Being a leader is more than merely pursuing a position of authority. Serving others in accordance with God's plan is a calling from Him. God's will, not human arrogance, is the source of true leadership.
2. What dangers arise when leadership is pursued apart from God’s calling?
Selfishness, arrogance, corruption, and abuse of authority can result when leadership is accepted solely for personal gain. Without divine direction, leaders might do more harm than good. Additionally, individuals might fail because they rely solely on themselves rather than God.
3. In what ways can you personally discern whether God is calling you into leadership?
By praying, reading God's Word, and asking experienced Christians for advice, you can determine God's calling. Your gifts, your desire to serve others, and the chances God provides to you are often signs of your calling. Your leadership is probably God's calling if it honors Him and inspires the development of others.
4. How can humility, responsibility, and obedience be practiced as a student leader today?
Serving others first, paying attention to their needs, and avoiding pride are all ways to demonstrate humility. Setting a good example, managing your time effectively, and performing your obligations with faithfulness are all ways to demonstrate responsibility. Following God's Word, showing respect for educators and authority figures, and making choices that glorify Him are all examples of obedience.

In this verse my own understanding is that, it is a reminder that our lives has a purpose and a meaning. It shows that God knows us even before birth, and He sets each of us apart for a reason.
2. What dangers arise when leadership is pursued apart from God's calling?
I think the danger arise when leadership is pursued apart from God’s calling is misguided purpose cause without God’s direction, a leader may pursue leadership for personal ambition, fame, money, clout, power rather than serving the members or the people.
3. In what ways can you personally discern whether God is calling you into leadership?
I think we can discern this by confirmation of God’s word. We needed to read the bible and by that you can analyze or think if God wants to use you as a leader.
4. How can humility, responsibility, and obedience be practiced as a student leader today?
A leader’s characteristics must have humility, responsibility and obedience, by this three characteristics the leader will not undergo for herself/himself instead a leader will serve what is good in their room.
