    In Psalm 78:72 "David shepherded them with integrity of heart and with skilful hands he led them".  This verse lists two competencies that King David used to lead Israel 

    1. Shepherding with Integrity of Heart
    2. Leading with Skilled Hands 

    Please comment on how could we apply these competencies to Christian ministry today?

    We can apply these competencies to christian body to by demonstrating the love of Christ within the fellowship. Be truthful to the body of christ and not overlooking teacerable moments that may come . Staying ture to the word of God and standing on the word of God is very important ,this is how we express and demonstrate the love of Christ .

    Leading with a skill hands , that can only be direct by the spirit of God. David almost ever time , will lean on the Lord for his direction, nspiration and instructions.

    When it comes to having “integrity of heart” in modern ministry leadership, one thing that comes to mind is honesty. We need to be honest with God, ourselves, the leaders under us, and the people we are leading. We need to allow God to search our motives and convict us if we’re doing anything from a wrong place.

    We also need skillful hands in what we do so that we’re productive, strategic, and efficient in our ministry. We need to constantly be getting better in how we’re doing things, so that the Kingdom advances not in a haphazard, random way, but with intention and force!

    We must have a heart that is open to the Lord and pursuing him fully, but that will only take you so far. You also must be properly trained and have the knowledge and experience to lead well. Having the desire to follow the Lord and be a Godly leader are the first steps, but one must then be spurred to action to learn how to do this well.

    We can apply these competencies to Christian ministry today in a number of ways. Firstly, shepherding with integrity of heart required all people involved in Christian ministry to be checking in with themselves and also being accountable to others. It is important to be honest and lead others around you with integrity. Secondly, leading with skilled hands requires leaders to be constantly improving their skills and abilities. This can include pushing yourself to do something hard, taking some classes, having a mentor. Overall, all people involved in Christian ministry need to be leading in their skills and be improving them always.
