KINGDOM  LEADERSHIP
Good and competent leadership is one of the needs of the world today in all areas of life.
We live in a world where leaders are trained to always come across as having the answers.
Check political leaders for example,you won't see a political aspirant receiving questions from the public who will tell the public he/she doesn't have the answers to the questions being asked.
They either dodge the questions diplomatically or answer the questions cleverly by a series of answers that may not have anything or very little to do with the question they have been asked.
They do this because they have been trained to always come across as having all the answers when they are dealing with the public.
They have been trained to look confident and up to the task even if they are not. This puts enormous stress and pressure on our political leaders behind the cameras and public view.
But Kingdom leadership is totally different.
Kingdom leadership is the kind of leadership our Lord Jesus demonstrated while He was here on earth, it operates quiet differently from earthly leadership.
Leadership is very important in life.
Every child of God is a leader in one way or another.
God has it in mind that His sons and daughters manifest while here on earth (Romas 8:19)
When sons/daughters of God start manifesting, they will start providing answers and results, and when you start providing answers and results you will become a leader.
In this church we have declared April to be our month of fruitfulness.
To be fruitful as an individual is to have results.
Fruitfulness answers to growth, maturity, and time. IT IS YOUR TIME!

You cannot have the fruits- the results, the solutions, the answers and not be a leader.
This is God's will for you, that you emerge the leader you have been created to be!

This is why we need to understand kingdom leadership.
Kingdom leadership is a wise, insightful kind of leadership carried about  by a connection to God.
It is compassionate leadership, it is mature leadership, it is leadership carried out with instructions from God's Kingdom, God's realm. It's leadership that operates with divine wisdom.

Everyone is a leader in one capacity or the other.
Kingdom leadership is not only useful in ministry or the building of a work for God but it cuts across all areas of living.
A man is a leader to his wife and children.
A mother is a leader to her child or children.
The man/woman leading an unbeliever to Christ is a leader to that unbeliever spiritually. So start evangelizing!
You many be a leader at work, in your church assembly, on the job, in business,in your community, at home and in many other ways.

Kingdom leadership is not burdensome but it is a call to responsibility. Matthew 11:30
Kingdom leadership is servant leadership.
Kingdom leadership is stooping to conquer.
Kingdom leadership is letting go to let God.
Kingdom leadership is not selfish leadership but leadership with the intention of benefiting others.

The world is in need of this kind of leadership.
The world needs leaders in every sector and area of life.
The church of Jesus Christ needs good leadership by genuine shepherds, we need teaching priests and genuine teaching prophets, anointed teachers, and good hearted ministers who will genuinely feed the people of God and not rip them off.
The Bible tells us in these last times false prophets will arise. There will be many of them.
We need truly called Kingdom leaders to counteract false prophets in these times.

What does it take to be an effective kingdom leader?
1) Come from God's Kingdom- Colossians 1:13, John 3:5
2) Have a Kingdom mentality- Romans 12:2
3) Go through process- James 1:4- Process produces growth and humility
4) Seek wisdom- Proverbs 4:7, Proverbs 8:15,16
5) Seek opportunities to serve- Exodus 24:13
6) Rely on God's Spirit- 1 John 2:27, John 14:26
7) Use Biblical Principles for all areas of life- 2 Timothy 3:16

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
