Joshua son of Nun is a bright example in knowing the Perfect will, knowing His voice, obedience and mistakes, life in defeat and in victories. My personal examples, mistakes and victories will be highlighted in this topic.

Everyone is not perfect, including young leaders. With that in mind, Apostle Peter pinpoints a few areas that people in authority should consider and a few areas that those under authority should consider. Those under authority will be challenged in their submission to authority, dealing with pride, learning to trust God, and the battle against temptations (1 Peter 5:5-11). Those who are in leading positions will be challenged in the things mentioned above but also in serving willingly, without personal agendas, and leading by personal example (1 Peter 5:1-4). This lesson is targeting leaders to challenge them in different stages of their roles in order to effectively lead the people of God.
