Today, Pastor preached about real man.
How a real man will start to lead when they are secure, strong and significant.
Leadership is not = Dominant
We are not = the Emperor whhich just directs
Leadership doesnt have to be as rich as bill gates
Leadership doesnt have to be as smart and as charismatic as Barrack Obama(pst not OSAMA)
Real man that leads have to take charge, make decision, and make things happen.
It is not the kind whereby u tried to be nice and let someone else do the work.
Whelter its at home, in church, in school, in the workplace or anywhere else, we have to s tart to rise up, step in when it messy all around, step up, take charge and really rise up to a whole new level.
we have to start to learn to lead not direct. We are not directors.
When we start to lead, people will be willing to follow.
We have to start to have convictions, revelations.
In this world, some people doesnt want to take leadership because of 1 thing, they are afraid of the responsibility that they have to bear.
Leadership = Making decision and being decisive.
We have to stop being lazy, stop procrastinating.
When u procrastinate, it is very hard to find the energy to start work. u will keep dragging the work that u are supposed to do.
at the end of the day, nothing is done at all!
Decision that we made = translate into the energy.
When we make a decision, we have the drive, the energy to really complete the work.
We have to start to rise up to a whole new level.
For my first discipleship class with DomDom talk about Epaphroditus.
-He is a guy who is a common regular on fire in church
-The name was commonly used in romans days.
-It was a common word.
In this sharing, we will be on philipians 2:25 and Phillipians 4:26-30
It is mainly on how Epaphroditus willingness to sacrifice for God and the man of God
He went the extra mile, he was nearly on the edge of losing his life.
In the class, i learnt that we have to start think of others, God and His people.
We have to have a sacrificial attitude. We will sacrifice for God and His people.
We have to know the needs of our church.
Eg. In need of more leaders, More people serving in ministry. Helping in CEG, serving Pastors leaders, friends and other people in church.
After that, Dom prayed and said : Everyone of us will have a revelation of God. We will rise up.
We will be like Epaphroditus. and God is saying something to each and everyone of us.
At that point of time, God's voice struck me.
I feel that he said :
"Start to sacrifice your fiancial, Start to sacrifice Your time for Me, This is the season of breakthrough for you. Keep praying. You will breakthrough in your CG, Start to sacrifice for Church, You are going to rise up. Breakthrough in Ministries, in Music, In Sound, In Livefeed. Breakthrough in the prayer Life"
God presence in the MPR1 was so tangible. It was so real at that moment.
