Our leadership crisis today is one of moral character. Canada is no worse than most countries in the world when it comes to corruption of authority. Compared to some, it may even appear to be better off, but this does not excuse the rampant misbehaviour by some of its leaders. Human nature, which is made up of vanity, lust, greed and selfish ambition, is the common shortcoming of people everywhere. To solve this problem, God is working with a few men and women today whom He will appoint to positions of leadership at Christ’s return. These are not the elite of the world (1 Corinthians 1:26–29), but are people who possess the basics of leadership: self-sacrifice and outgoing concern for those governed. They are learning during this lifetime the way of give rather than get.
There can be no better advice for Canada’s future leaders, and the future leaders of every nation, than that found in Philippians 2:3–7: “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.”
