Spiritual Leadership Books

Basic Christian Leadership by Z.T. Fomum offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be a leader in the eyes of God. Fomum debunks the myth that leadership is merely a matter of appointment or title, and instead, shows that true leadership is achieved and maintained before God, reflected in every aspect of our lives. The author explores key principles of leadership, including the call to preach the gospel, the foundation of salvation in Jesus Christ, self-denial and humility, pastoral ministry, and much more. With practical advice and real-life examples, Fomum provides a roadmap for developing the qualities necessary for effective leadership . Whether you are looking to become a better leader, develop competent leaders in your community, or simply deepen your understanding of spiritual leadership, Basic Christian Leadership has everything you need. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to grow in their leadership abilities as well as find solutions to their own leadership issues.

This book is divine counsel from God for personal spiritual progress and for the success of the spiritual leader. Since people must be led, they will of necessity be led somewhere. If the leader is going nowhere, the people will follow him—to nowhere. If he is going where God wants him to go, people will follow him and, by so doing, they will get to the place where God wants them to be. It is therefore important that the leader sees very clearly where God wants him and the people to go. After he has seen, he must be desperate to get there, not alone but with the people. He must finally move from being desperate to desperate action. The act of seeing is vision . The weight to see that which is seen become reality is burden . The right vision will lead to a burden that must be discharged by action . In Vision, Burden, Action , the author, Z.T. Fomum sets forth what he believes is a message for the Body of Christ now—a message for every believer, and not just for some members of the Body. It is for all current leaders and for all would-be leaders. It is for those who lead millions of people, and also for you who is perhaps still leading only one person—yourself. Going through this book, you will discover the fundamental reasons for the failure of many spiritual leaders in the world today: The lack of vision and the inability to communicate the vision.

This book is a ROADMAP for Pastors and House Church Leaders! The training of church leaders has been one of Z.T Fomum's main areas of contribution to church growth. Leading a House Church was born out of the burden and need for competent pastors for the growing number of House Churches in the city of Yaounde. The lessons in the book are practical applications of the theory and doctrine developed in The Ministers and the Ministry of the New Covenant —The Challenge of Missions—also written by the author. According to the author, a pastor is a person who bears the flock on his heart . He focus on the character and personality of the one called to take the flock in their arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to bring them to the Promised Land of God. As a veteran on the subject, Z.T. Fomum presents a heart-to-heart exposé on the disciplines of the pastoral ministry, including a broad spectrum of both the practical aspects and the dynamics of leading a house church before God. If you desire to be a pastor, this book will help you on seeking and receiving the pastor's heart . We send them out with a heart-cry that they contribute to produce the type of leaders that are needed for the Lord's flock on the eve of His imminent return.

This is a handbook for on-the-field and aspiring missionaries and leaders at all levels. In Spiritual Aggressiveness, Professor Z.T. Fomum shares powerful and inspiring insights on Spiritual Leadership in the model of Joshua.

With contributions from field workers, Spiritual Aggressiveness offers practical insights into missions .

This book “Leading a Local Church” is a compilation of the teaching of Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum addressed to the saints in Yaoundé, Cameroon during a leadership training course. The book presents what it takes to lead a local church and what leadership is. The author explains the critical place of having a goal geared towards the saving of the lost in the building of a local church. The method for the accomplishment of the goal is the making of disciples. When a shepherd leaves the flock just for a day in pursuit of gain, he has put a knife into his heart and things will never be the same afterwards. A shepherd who loves the world has lost God, has lost the vision and has betrayed the sheep. According to the author the spiritual gift of leadership is the unusual ability to produce other leaders. The leader is the one who takes risks and break new grounds. Leadership is a call to provide a model. We recommend this book to you while praying that the Lord will use it to make of you a leader who has put on God enough to be able to lead a local church and raise others of his kind.

Spiritual leadership is not automatically maintained! The leader is the one who pays the greatest price increasingly. You cannot neglect that which raised you to leadership and expect to remain as the leader. You became the leader because you loved and sought God. You were constantly in His presence. You were loyal to the leadership above you. If any of these things are now history, then you have lost the things that matter. If you are moving on today by virtue of the price you paid in the past, then you may have been demoted within the years from spiritual leadership. If your input now is regrettably smaller, then it could be that you are no longer God's leader. There are leaders who have lost their position before God and before man. Physically, they may still stand before man, but the leadership has moved hands. Some have moved aside even physically. With vivid examples from Scripture—such as Reuben, Eli, Moses, King Saul, David, Barnabas, etc.—the author shows clearly that talents, spiritual gifts, and a fine personality are no guarantee that a spiritual position will be retained. In the end, the author paints a portrait of how to jealously guard one's position and place in God's heart.

In this life-changing book, Professor Fomum enumerates some pivotal vectors that transform leadership into a revolution. The author sucintly brings out the differences between spiritual and secular leadership, the distinguishing characteristics of spiritual leadership, the mandatory perspectives for an impact-making spiritual leader, the steps on how to pass from an ordinary unto a revolutionary spiritual leader. The author paints the leader as a model in everything. He is the one who sees what God has in mind and takes the people of God in that direction. Such a leader’s heart is welded to each sheep. A successful spiritual leadership cannot be separated from the production of other leaders. Leadership is the overflow of a person’s devotion to God. The author also portrays revolutionary leadership as that leadership whose glory is in its identification with the glorified Christ in His suffering and humiliation, thereby distinguishing it from ordinary leadership.

God gives limitless authority to those whom He places in leadership. He backs them without any reservation but judges them with the greatest severity. Divine privileges carry with them great responsibilities . Are you a spiritual leader at any level? Is someone looking up to you to lead them to Christ or along the Christian way? Has God called you to lead one or more people out of the captivity of sin and self into the fullness of the obedient and sanctified life? Are you at a loss on how to become and continue to be the spiritual leader that God meant you to be? In Spiritual Leadership in the Pattern of Moses , the author, Z.T. Fomum , will take you through the necessary ingredients required to build the leadership wealth that sets you apart and promotes a mere seeker after God into a spiritual leader. He highlights twelve different sources of rebellion among God's people and their causes and provides godly solution pathways for each type. If you are looking for divine guidance in spiritual leadership delegation and succession or leadership perils and how to avoid them, then this is the book you need. From another angle, the author demonstrates that leadership is conditioned on a life sacrificed, spent, and sold out for others. It all starts with a deep and intimate knowledge of God, without which all spiritual leadership exercised would be from skill, talent, or natural endowment. Such can never satisfy God's heart; neither can it lead God's people to their destiny. If God has called you to lead one or more people, then this is a must-read for you!

Many want to serve the Lord in the gospel but are ignorant of the standards of God for those who would qualify as labourers in the gospel. The author shows from the scriptures who is qualified , the characteristics of the qualified and examples of those who qualified to serve the Lord. In this book, you will discover the qualifications which revolutionize the disciple's service to God in the gospel and also the flaws he must avoid in order to be a qualified workman who serves God and man in this generation. We send this book out with the prayer that the Lord would be pleased to use it to grant His children a better understanding of His service and instruct them on how to qualify to serve Him in the gospel enterprise. May God bless you richly as you read.
