Decision Is A Throne

Leadership is not about the people or who to lead. It is about how you govern yourself and HOW YOU MAKE DECISIONS.  DECISION is the throne of leadership.  How do you make decision?  What do you consider before you make decision?  Who influences your decision?   The answer to these questions will determine if you will become the leader God has created you to become.  You must allow the vision of your leadership capacity influence your decision making. You must also allow God who gave you the vision for your leadership capacity to influence your decision. Every decision is not about risk or safety. It is about pleasing God and leading according to Gods expectation.  Before you start making decisions for people; learn to make Decision For your self  through the influence of God's Word first.  It's begins from you.  True leadership is in you leading your self through the influence of God's word. ...

Leadership - 3

Beloved! Any leader that must fulfill purpose and destiny must cultivate a relationship with the vision and passion of their heart. This is the foundation of any true leadership. It's not about title but it's about roles and responsibilities.  The seat of roles and responsibilities in the place of leadership is the vision and passion of your heart!  You must discover the "why" you were created to lead.  Rely on the Holy Spirit and discover it!  It's all about relationship!  Shalom!

Leadership - 2

Leadership is all about you becoming the vision and expressing the vision. Vision is the understanding of what God has called you to become and do. Vision and calling is the foundation of your leadership. What's your calling? What's your vision? Every body is a leader but only few gets to discover this vision and calling? Some people discover their calling and vision but few ends up becoming the vision and calling. Leadership is all about BECOMING AND DOING. Who are you becoming? Shifting blames on people and making excuses is the fastest way of killing your chances of becoming the leader God has created you to become. In leadership, it's either your choice or fault. Be you Be the lead you were born to be Becoming a leader is who you were created to be (either you are male or female) Becoming the leader you were created to be is in you becoming responsible for your life, words, attitudes, and decision. Are you responsible? Dare to be!

Helping In Overcoming Church Hurt

Have you been hurt by a church? If so, you’re not alone. As a pastor of a church, I’ve heard stories from people who have found church confusing, contrarian, or even damaging. Not every church hurts people, but most churches have hurt someone at some point. Some people are hurt through their own mistakes, others because of sin committed against them, and still others because of failed leadership. This reality can leave them reluctant to re-engage, afraid of being hurt again, wanting to protect themselves, and questioning the place of church in their lives. The good news for the hurting is that God has spoken to your pain in the Bible. Most of the writing in the New Testament about how to live in a church exists because the church has never been perfect. Most, if not all, of the letters were written to solve problems in the church: Galatians to solve legalism (Galatians 1:6–7, 3:1–3, 4:9, 5:1). Colossians to solve heresy (Colossians 2:4, 8). 2 Timothy to solve tension i...

The Price of Leadership - Part 2

4. There Is a Spiritual Cost. The more influential you become as a leader, the greater the intensity of spiritual attack on your life. (By the way … I’ve had shots taken at me for saying this, but it’s true. I’ve experienced it personally … and in the Scriptures, we see in Acts 19 a demon literally having a conversation with seven guys … he tells them he knows Jesus and has heard about Paul, probably because he was causing such a disturbance, but then he tells the guys that he hadn’t even heard about them!!! Like it or not … the enemy doesn’t pursue everyone with the same intensity.) You will experience spiritual warfare. You will encounter temptation on a level that is greater than anything you could imagine. You have to be willing to fight the fight and pay the price if you want to be a godly leader. 5. There Is a Personal Cost All of the things listed above come around to this … there IS a personal cost when it comes to leadership. It will NEVER cease to affect ...

Help the Pastors.

Terminate with compassion. Almost without exception, the pastor is terminated. But termination does not have to be without compassion. The pastor’s family will need financial provisions; thus, many churches provide compassionate severances. And though pastors have full responsibility for their sins, they are hurting as well. Tough love and compassionate love are in order here. Don’t forget the pastor’s family. They have felt the greatest amount of betrayal. They are humiliated and hurt. This person they likely held in high esteem has fallen hard. The family needs compassion, love, attention and counseling. Many church members do not know what to say, so they say nothing. I know one church member who sent the spouse and the children a simple handwritten note: “I have not forgotten you. I am here for you. I am praying for you.” It made all the difference in the world. Be forthright with the congregation. The rumors are often worse than reality. You don’t have to give the sor...

Life - Part 2

Life Is a JOURNEY. To become the leader God has created you to be, you must acknowledge you are in a specific journey. Individually, we all have our individual journey and collectively, we have our collective journey. You are not here by accident. You are not a product of mistake. The Past, present and future exist for the sake of this journey. You are coming from some where to be here and you are moving to some where. Either you like it or yes, you are on a journey into your place of leadership.. Individually, we all have different specific, detailed and unique pattern for this individual journey. You were born into the journey and you were created for this journey. There is a blueprint for this individual journey called LIFE. It’s a journey from ignorance to knowledge. It’s a journey from immaturity to maturity. It’s a journey from the past to the future. It’s a journey from God’s plan into the reality of God’s plan. Understanding this principle and operating in them brings yo...

God operates as the FATHER, as the SON and as the HOLY SPIRIT. Man operates through the BODY, SPIRIT and SOUL. The YOU that is reading ...

Identity - Part 2

IDENTITY is the character, mind – set and idea that distinguish people among the crowd. She is the expression of a specific plan and a purpose for living. IDENTITY is the image and the beauty of the solution that lies in your potential. She has the ability to show forth your source to you. IDENTITY is the expressing power of the vision and mission set into your life by God. She determines the assignment of your life and that of the next generation. She can become a reward to your generation or a punishment to them if she does not reflect the glory of God (carelessness). She reveals the maturity or the weakness behind living. She determines your position in life. She determines what you will gain from life. IDENTITY is the truth that will define your history and she is the truth that will determine your worth and value. She is the picture and the voice of your life. She is the beauty and the manifestation of your potential (C.T.I). She is a gift given to you by God but you must dis...
