The Trademark of God's Leaders Daniel's Wisdom and Tact

As leaders, we need to speak with both wisdom and tact. And we need to do so not only when the situation is going
well but also when it is not. In this instance, Daniel’s very life and the lives of many others were at stake.
I would suggest that speaking with “wisdom and tact” is a joint venture between us, as Christ-followers, and the Holy
Spirit dwelling in us.

Assist With Daughter Church Planting

Are your disciples developing great ministry skills? Or do they step back and always try to push you forward in ministry.  If you want to lead like Jesus, sooner or later you will need to assist your disciples in ministry while you take a supporting role

Model Daughter Church Planting

The development of lives transformed does not happen by mistake or by accident. These are brought to maturity by an intentional heart to pour out unto others lives so that they both can be fruitful in God’s work. To model something well it is intentionally being seen not so that one might be lifted as something great but just the opposite. We model humility for without the Holy Spirit’s guidance we would be lost and without fruit in our own lives

The 3 Circles For Daughter Church Planting

Did you know you can share the Three circles with a group of people? You can draw them on a large sheet of paper or use a stick to draw the circles in the sand where everyone can see.
One of the greatest privileges for a Christian is to be sent out by his or her church to find persons of peace and start a new church. Who are you preparing to go out and start a new daughter church?

Ambassadors and Church Planting

Sometimes we get so engaged in doing ministry ourselves, we overlook the important role of training others. But it is in training other workers that the Word of Christ goes to new places and engages new people.

Finding Persons of Peace

My brothers and sisters, read and re-read Luke 10:1-10. Let the promises of Jesus fill you with faith to go and find persons of peace in villages without churches.  When you go in faith, God will be honored. If you keep on seeking, you will find persons of peace.  
Where is God calling you to go and find persons of peace in 2024? What family, what village will be transformed in the new year because you faithfully obeyed Jesus and went out to find persons of peace Jesus prepared to meet you?

Finding Persons of Peace Part 1

The first and most important STEP as we walk into our villages is prayer. In that time of prayer first, we take time for a moment of worship, secondly, a time of  stillness, and then ask God to even lead our prayer to Him. Amen? This is a time that should not be rushed, but truly a time where you and God are in deep communion with one another. This is where visions can be birthed, power infused and love for others grow. 

Proverbs to Live By Part 2

The Proverbs of Solomon in the Old Testament provide general wisdom that can be applied in many different spheres of life.  While some proverbs speak directly to marriage, others that don’t directly mention marriage provide wisdom that can strengthen husband-wife teams.

Care for One Another

Today’s verse is 1 Corinthians 12:25 which reads in the New International Version, “so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.”  The English Standard Version (ESV) puts it this way.  “[T]hat there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.”

Other translations mention “equal care” or “same concern” for different members of the Body. 

The broader context of this text is unity and diversity in the Body.  The Corinthian church certainly had its issues, and factions and leader favorites possibly topped the list.  (It was in chapter 3 that Paul noted that some in Corinth followed him while others preferred Apollos.)   

As leaders and spiritual overseers, we set the example for unity within the Body of Christ.  I’ve heard it said that before one is qualified to be a leader, he or she must first be a good follower, and I believe that this is true.

Proverbs to Live By Part 1

King Solomon collected and published proverbs to help the people of his kingdom change from being simple to being wise.  Simple people are not those who lack intelligence. They are people who are undecided about good and evil. Consequently, they often make foolish decisions.
