How an Honour Culture Will Release Supernatural Favour In A Post Lockdown World
How an Honour Culture Will Release Supernatural Favour In A Post Lockdown World
Lessons from the foot of Mt Sinai
In this current season, good church leaders are fighting for unity, making peace, casting vision, building stability, setting direction, securing safety, re engineering community….? How can the church best support their leaders during this season?
Like the Israelites emerging from lockdown/captivity, the church is now on the move and we need to be lead by the Spirit of God and by God’s appointed leaders….-
ONE OF THE KEYS for our success as we transition into this post lockdown world…is how we/the church responds to LEADERSHIP>>>>>
The Israelites really got this wrong…and we can learn from their mistakes and be prepared to lean into Godly leadership during this next phase of our journey as a church. (AS THE CHURCH)
I actually believe that God is going to use this season to re-instate an Honour Culture back into the life of the local church….a lot of churches have lost this powerful kingdom principle….but just like, daily devotional time, prayer, tithing, serving, Sabbath, when we embrace an honour culture, something supernatural is released into our lives that would otherwise never be enjoyed….it is another dimension of kingdom favour…
Tithing releasing supernatural kingdom favour on your financial world
Sabbath releasing supernatural kingdom favour on your time
Honour realising supernatural favour on your relational world
3 Keys to help us reinstate a healthy honour culture into the life of our churches:
To honour well we must understand PRESENCE
Exodus 19:9 MSG
“God said to Moses, “Get ready. I’m about to come to you in a thick cloud so that the people can listen in and trust you completely when I speak with you.”
When God wants to establish trust between leadership and the church…he will come with his PRESENCE and God will speak to leadership in such a way that the people know that it is the voice of God himself speaking.
If you want to hear from God, make sure you align your life with leadership that prioritises PRESENCE…today more than ever, leaders need to be immersed in the presence of God!
But as followers, we must also be aware that a key component of a leader’s role is to make time for moments of encounter with the GOD.
To honour well we must understand PATIENCE
Exodus 32:1 MSG
“When the people realized that Moses was taking forever in coming down off the mountain, they rallied around Aaron and said, “Do something. Make gods for us who will lead us. That Moses, the man who got us out of Egypt—who knows what’s happened to him?””
What will the church do while leaders are fighting for unity, making peace, casting vision, building stability, setting direction, securing safety, re engineering community….?
In this text we see some very powerful leadership lessons:
1. The danger of lobbying, and self appointed leadership - Don’t let your impatience motivate you to appoint a new leader. Self appointed leadership, is a recipe for division, disaster and ultimately the unnecessary death of whatever it is that is being stewarded buy the leader, church, business, family, etc…
Activity is not the same as productive, do SOMETHING is never better than doing the RIGHT THING…sometimes the RIGHT THING is waiting!
People NEED to be lead…if you are a leader, make sure you being leadership…Aaron was the God appointed leader inthte absence of Moses, but when challenged by the people brought NO leadership….
To dismantle God’s plan, disparage God’s leaders…..”That Moses….who knows what happened?” If you can upset God’s appointed leadership you can dismantle God’s entire agenda…
You don’t need to inflate the reality of the leadership you have, but you can bring stability to God’s plan by honouring it.
To honour well we must understand THE LEADERS HEART
After the people convinced Aaron to build an idol, and rebel against God’s law for them…God was set on killing them all, BUT Moses advocatrd for the people, for he had a heart that was toward those that he was leading….Moses once again, saves the people….
BUT…Moses then has the levites execute 3000 Israelites as punishment for their disobedience!
So…Moses privately saves the nation but publicly slaughters 3000 people…
We often never get to see the hard work done by our leaders in the back rooms, closed doors of their world, doing the hard work to ensure we are safe and, healthy secure, moving forward…….we can only see the leader through the lease of her actions…this tension is actually in irresolvable BUT we can chose to either trust her HEART or not….
