Leadership in Context

Sometimes God wants your honey, not your money. He wants your heart. God adjusts your heart by adjusting your treasure. Your money doesn’t belong to you. Everything that passes through your hands belongs to God.

Managers do the best with what they have to maintain what is happening. Leaders define a place and create a process to help people move ahead. When you see a group of people that have gifts but aren’t giving all, check if the clarity of the destination is burning in their hearts. It’s clear vision that propels us forward.

We each have the ability to be equally committed, even though our gifts are different. It’s not about equal gifts; it’s about equal commitment.

When God looks at you, He doesn’t see a half-empty cup. He sees what you do have. Your job is to figure out what God has given you in Christ. Stop measuring yourself by what you don’t have. God will empower you to use what you do have!

Giving is one of the tools that God uses to drive the world out of us. Our money is not ours; it’s His. Therefore, what we do with it is up to Him.

Out of the Macedonian church came an emergence of generosity. No one gave at a greater cost. That was the core culture of the Macedonian church. They were givers. What a heritage we have. This should be the core culture of the church. The understanding of generosity is what caused the church to multiply. God wants us to be givers. Let’s be more like the Macedonian church.

One of the concepts of Kingdom finances is looking at the mission rather than the need. As we put the mission first, there is a godly contentment that comes. God does not want to raise up need-meeters; He wants to raise up givers. If you are not free to be a giver, you will never be satisfied or content.
