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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...

Healing For Your Soul Wounds!

Malachi 4:2 Your soul is a vital part of your life. Your soul is part of who you are. Your soul needs to function well for things to go well with you. Your prosperity is linked to your soul. 3 John 2 Your soul is the decision making center of your life. God cares about the state of your soul. God created your soul and wants your soul to function well. It is the will of God that your soul is preserved until the coming back of Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Your soul is made up of your will, your mind and your emotions. You need your will, your mind and your emotions to function properly and to be regarded as a well balanced human being. Your soul is valuable and the enemy wants it. Your soul is part of the reason you are saved and a part of God's kingdom. 2 Corinthians 4:3,4 We are spirits who have a soul and live in a body. When your soul is wounded As our natural bodies can be affected, so can our souls. As we can have physical wounds and sores caused b...
