Leaders Lead

I was at the ACCELERATE conference back in August and I've held on to what Greg Suratt said, "Leaders Lead". Wow that's so simple but that's just it. Leaders lead. Is the road of leadership easy? I don't know why don't you ask Moses or David. God told Joshua, "Be strong and courageous" three times in the first nine verses of the Book of Joshua. The words bold and courageous must be a pretty important part of leadership if God had to say it three times to Joshua before he was given the title leader of the Israelites.

If you are a leader at work, at church or wherever you lead, know that you will eventually have very tough decisions to make and tough situations that you will go through. Do not fold up in these circumstances. Be strong and courageous and seek God through prayer, study and meditation and then you will prosper and succeed in all that you do.

Recap from Sunday

WWE Smackdown!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Division in the church is caused by a lot of different opinions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Churches divide over.....
-Baptism (Which way is correct?)
-Worship Style (Hymns or Contemporary? Organs or Electric Guitars? In tune out of tune vocals)
-Version of the Bible (KJV or NIV or NAS? etc.....)
-What's heaven gonna be like? (have your own mansion or room?)
-Color of the carpet (blue .vs. red, green .vs. pink)

Is any of this worth dividing the Body of Christ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the church has avoided to address.....
-Judgemental ism
-The hungry
-False teaching
-Marriage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Samuel 30:1-8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a lot of thing not worth breaking a sweat over like the color of the carpet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some things worth fighting for like Jesus Christ died for people's sin and shame and was raised from the dead 3 days later.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main idea here is that PEOPLE are the most important thing that God created.

Everyday (Hillsong)

You Must Be Greater (Rodney Morton)

Mighty To Save (Hillsong)

Only You

Are you entertained?
By the lights
By the music
By the style of this church

Do you leave as the same?
person at heart
person in spirit
person as a servent in this world

Did you experience God?
Through our love
Through our compassion
Through our service to you

All the lights, music, and teaching are great, but if you didn't experience my God then it was just time wasted.

God fill our time together as a church with nothing but Your spirit and Your power.

Only You have the power to heal a broken heart, only You have the power to give new life, only You have the power to break down the walls of addiction, Only You draw men to Your presence.

In the beginning You were, today You are, and in the end You will be the only One that draws me to You.

Forgive me for thinking it would be anything other than You.

Random Thought

OK so I was reading over one of the first devotions that I had posted in the beginning of my blogging life. It was called "Give Us Clean Hands". The title came from the song "Give Us Clean Hands". In this post I referred to Exodus 34:14 where it says; "You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you." At that time God was dealing with me about video games and all the time I was wasting with them. Since then I have not really played any video games, maybe once a month if I'm lucky. But it seems like something always takes it's place.

Who or what is fighting for the time God wants you to spend with Him?

Can you put it down for 30 days?

I challenge you for the next 30 days to put down what ever you are putting in front of God. In those 30 days dig into God's word, pray, and seek God's direction for your life. A lot of times we have a big decisions to make, or a problem we are facing and we throw up a couple microwaved prayers to God and wonder why He is not showing up. I believe God continually speaks to us but we can't hear Him a lot of the times because we are so wrapped up in what we want to do.
