How Leaders Find Favour In The Fallout
Number 1:1-5 MSG
God spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai at the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month in the second year after they had left Egypt. He said, “Number the congregation of the People of Israel by clans and families, writing down the names of every male. You and Aaron are to register, company by company, every man who is twenty years and older who is able to fight in the army. Pick one man from each tribe who is head of his family to help you.
Numbers begins by taking a count of the people of Israel… positioning them into their family groups and then assigning them responsibilities so as to maintain the health, the order and the spiritual condition of the nation. After all of this order was established….at the end of Numbers 6 we read the priestly blessing of Aaron.
Number 6:24-26 NLT
‘May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
25May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
26May the Lord show you his favour
and give you his peace.’
It is absolutely critical in this season of re-gathering that we are aware of WHO is with us, where they fit into the life of the church, how and where they can lead and this will release blessing over the whole church.
This season has been coined, in church circles as The Great Return, but in step with that we are also experiencing the Great Realisation…..While we are seeing the church return to face to face gatherings we are also realising that many WILL NOT return as we thought they would OR they will return as very very different people.
In a post crisis church, whether it is a church split, the sudden exit of pastors and leadership, financial mismanagement, moral failing …. OR a global pandemic ravaged church…..
We must do what Moses and Aaron did:
Focus on the team who are WITH you!
Don’t live in discouragement, because those people who are still in your teams after crisis are ALL IN, they are looking for:
- Inspiration, to be engaged, to be on mission, discipled, encouraged and led and celebrated!
Turn the remaining crowd into the core.
The church will still have people connected who my not be ALL IN, but are looking for their next step….they are with us because God has moved heaven and earth to bring them to us….Those looking for a faith community are more than ever ready to be ALL IN!….so let’s keep helping people take their next steps on their journey with Jesus…..
Embrace the inevitability of the work ahead.
Part of the intentionality behind the organisation of the tribes of Israel, the laws, cultural expectations, and ceremonial liturgy, was the fact that Moses and Aaron were staring down the barrel of a 40 year ordeal through the wilderness.
Despite this CRISIS, despite the LOSS and the DELAY of their dreams, they got on with…. They organised the troops and got moving….
Things look different o what they looked like in November 2019….but we will build again, and the church will prevail….and I want to be on the winning team, so I am ALL IN!
I want to receive that priestly blessing:
Number 6:24-26 NLT
‘May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
25May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
26May the Lord show you his favour
and give you his peace.’
