Nehemiah is an exemplar of an inspirational leader as well.

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and Mike Hannah Individual Commentary (pdf file). Inspirational Task-Oriented Leadership. Four kinds of leaders can profit from the study of Haggai: 1. Leaders who are facing a situation in which the Christian people to whom they are ministering are nominal in their pursuit of Christ and are heavily into secular pursuits; 2. Leaders who are discouraged about getting their followers motivated toward some vision. 3. Leaders who need to know something about how followers react to strong leadership; 4. Leaders who are in small works and are discouraged because they are small. Great leadership lessons seen in this restoration era can profit leaders struggling with the complexity of leadership in the Church age.

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and Kenichi Yoshida Individual Commentary (pdf file). The message of Obadiah is an example of God’s meting of justice to nations who violently take revenge on others. Obadiah can inspire us to believe that God is The Promise Keeper (the good ones and the bad ones). The Book of Obadiah also teaches us that although one’s work or ministry may not make the headlines or the primetime evening news, nevertheless, there are men and women, marked out by God to do great exploits at crucial times in the history of mankind, and through whom ultimate contributions are left for the subsequent generations. It identifies 7 important leadership topics/lessons and principles derived from these topics. Finally there are 30 leadership articles totaling 121 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Obadiah. He inexorably moves forward with His purposes regardless of the ways nations defy Him. We, leaders today, need to be encouraged to believe that God is working toward judgment and justice. We need to believe that God will do what He says we will do. We need to have faith in the promises of God, to us, and for others. Obadiah was such an individual. At a crucial time in the history of the nation of Judah, a time when God’s people desperately needed to hear a word from the LORD, Obadiah was released by the Spirit of God to fulfill his ministry to declare to his and subsequent generations of God’s people, the assuring and comforting word of the LORD. This ought to give leaders a sober perspective on ministry in any generation.
