Nehemiah Leadership Robert Oh

In the middle of 1980's I had privilege of taking several students from America to 'Ture village' in Korea, and Rev. Jinhong Kim taught on the Nehemiah leadership. Every morning he would bring the word of God to us on Nehemiah's leadership. I was blessed and wanted to further my study on that - but like many promises we make to ourselves, my desire to study was taken up by urgent things once I got back to the States. In 1999 as I was fasting 40 days, I read through 25 of Rev. Jinhong Kim's books, being challenged through his life testimony and learning whole lot about leadership in general. There I have decided to write a book on leadership applying all the principles he has presented, especially his teaching on Nehemiah. God reminded me of commitment I made at Ture village years ago. Finally, I have taught on the leadership of Nehemiah in series of sermons at Oikos Church of Midcity, and Dr. Elijah Sung transcribed and added his insights that's more applicable for a younger generations. I thank God for this team effort. Rev. Jinhong Kim inspired me - I preached - and Brother Elijah transcribed them to a book form. Praise the Lord!In this book, I have identified 10 leadership characteristics of Nehemiah:1. Phileo (Love)2. Prayer3. Pondering4. Positive5. Planning & Preparing6. Problem solver7. Power of Courage8. Personal Integrity9. Persistence - Tenacious 10. Purity - Childlikeness
