Follow Through I
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
I have friends that do not know how to use up to ten percent of the expensive phones they have. They are not deriving value [exploiting] from the phone. So the question is, why buy such an expensive phone if all you want to do is make and receive calls, send messages and take pictures? That phone is loaded with functionality more powerful than ten mainframe computers of the eighties put together. We do not exploit Read the rest of this entry
To Exploit
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
You do not need anyone to convince you that life is a battle. You are the general so you are calling the shots; but you have to be equipped. We believe that God will give us victory this year, in Jesus Name. However, we need to deploy proven military strategies to guarantee and secure these victories. If war generals that did not know Read the rest of this entry
His Command
“‘Well done!’ the king exclaimed. ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’ Luke 19:17
What instruction has God given you that is outstanding? Who do you need to forgive but you have not moved in that direction? What has God told you to give but you are still holding unto? Perhaps God is telling you to give your car to a lady in church. Give her the car. For some of us it is repentance. What do you need to Read the rest of this entry
As You Align
“‘Well done!’ the king exclaimed. ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’ Luke 19:17
A research by Stanford University revealed that, “The ability to function effectively in a crisis is the most important single quality of a great leader”. They discovered that the ability to deal with crisis could not be taught in classrooms but only in crisis situations. They said there is no case study that can be used to teach crisis management. And if there is one thing that is constant in leadership, it is Read the rest of this entry
The Boss
“I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them” Rom.16:17 [emphasis added].
God is clear in His Word about what we should do with people who cause divisions. Note them, keep away from them, and cut them off. Watch out for people that are unable or unwilling to take clear instructions; God says stay away from them. So your job as the leader is to establish a chain of command. Each person should have only one boss and they need to know who it is. Everybody is a leader in different capacities but each person should have only one boss. Read the rest of this entry
One Person In-charge
“But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Gen. 11:5-6
We are still learning about the principles of war because God has said we will have victory and so we need to be prepared for battle. All the principles are key to victory and they all work together. The Principle of Unity of Command however is a very crucial principle for victory. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Gen. 11:6 [emphasis added]. Read the rest of this entry
The Way
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” Jn.14:6
If God has called you to do something and you do not do it, God will do everything possible to bring you to your knees. Ask Jonah. I can tell you stories, even my own stories but I have chosen to go the easy way. As long as God sends me, I will do it. Why? It is because God does not change His mind. He is not making things up as we go. He has already said this is what you will do and that is what you will do. You are most secured in the center of God’s will for your life. You do not choose many things when it comes to God. Thinking you have choices is in itself a waste of time. Read the rest of this entry
