So, what does the MOT tester look for in the character of a leader? Here are some pointers:
1. Integrity
Does the outside match what is going on inside? Does my life have “authentic” stamped on it? Do I allow people close enough to know my struggles? Can I admit when I do or get something wrong?
Bible verses to look at: 1 Samuel 16:7b; 1 John 1:8-10
2. Humility
Do I think more highly of others than I do of myself? Did pride sneak in when I wasn’t paying attention? Am I actively seeking to push others forward and help them succeed? Who gets the glory?
Bible verses to look at: Philippians 2:3; I Timothy 1:12-17
3. Purity
Is my life marked by love? Am I living a godly life being continually filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit? Am I conforming to the world or being transformed into Christ-likeness?
Bible verses to look at: Ephesians 5:1-5, 5:18; Romans 12:2
Is your MOT overdue? Don’t delay. Take the test now.
