Leadership in Context

The law of inspiration empowers people to take risks and to develop their own faith biography and their own testimony of faith. The law of inspiration is that father spirit that is not afraid of a risk. The law of inspiration doesn’t put someone down because they tried and failed. Nothing is wasted. An inspirational leader is redemptive in motivating people to do great things for God.  Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. 

If you are leading and no one is following, you are just going for a walk. Position/title is the lowest form of influence. Great leaders are men and women who take their title or position and turn it into influence instead of trading for influence. Using influence isn’t for self-promotion, but for promoting the Kingdom and God’s reign on this earth. Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. 

The reason that Jesus’ ministry was so incredible to the minds of that day was that He was not a philosopher; He was a doer. He didn’t talk about healing broken hearts; He went out and healed broken hearts. He didn’t talk about feeding hungry people; He went out and fed hungry people. He didn’t talk about making disciples; He made disciples. He didn’t talk about being a servant; He became a servant. One of the great laws of leadership is being a doer, an example.

The law of faith within a leader is the ability to latch onto and see God’s desired outcome greater than the problem or circumstance that is trying to interfere. Start looking at problems for what they are—opportunities dressed up as distractions to get our mind, our vision, and our heart off the prize that God has called us to. The destination does not change. We might have to pause and change a flat tire, but where we are going doesn’t change. Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. 

When you look at world class athletes, they look at food as fuel—how are they going to fuel their body? Most of us look at food as fill—what am I going to do to fill my body up? For those who look at food as fuel, their body will perform better than those who look at food as fill. As a Christian leader who wants to influence people, the Law of Self-Investment—feeding yourself, fueling yourself, putting spiritual nutrition in yourself—has to be at the top of the list.

God wants to show Himself alive. God wants to remind people who He is. The first thing we do to start that happening is to testify about Who God is, show what He’s done in our lives, and believe God for a miracle when praying and ministering to people.

With every miracle, there is an agenda. With every miracle, there is a platform. When God does something supernatural, He wants his people to step up, own it, and declare that God did it.  Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE. 

You will never flow in the supernatural until you are in a vulnerable situation—a situation where you are in such a radically dependent place that it is God who has to come through. That is why when there are supernatural things happening, humility is found in the individual, as they know it isn’t them doing the supernatural.

When you see miracles in the Scripture, historic miracles, or legitimate miracles in your own life, they are almost always connected to another event that will happen. Very seldom are miracles stand-alone events. God has a divine agenda in His miraculous manifestations. When we give God praise and honor for things He is doing in our life--blessings (God’s favor) or miracles (the supernatural)--there is still something greater He wants to do.

You have to feed your convictions. If you believe strongly about something in the Scripture, it’s important to feed it because the enemy will attack that very point. We see so many people deconstructing their faith. I guarantee you that those people did not feed their convictions. They were running on yesterday’s fuel. A conviction can turn into a preference if you don’t have something to support it. Show notes (posted every Tuesday) can be found HERE.
