Leadership That Shows
1st Session - Calibrate
Bethal Christian Ministries
The word calibrate is a great word. It is to adjust, stabilize, to bring into alignment.
#1You are adjusting to the demands of this hour that we all live in.
#2You’re stabilizing your emotions and feelings.
#3We are bringing our heart into perfect alignment with Christ.
Being organized doesn’t necessarily produce a revival…, but when revival comes it certainly can sustain it longer.
Three 3 Areas of Calibration
#1 Perspective
-By calibrating our lives this weekend, we automatically start to change our perspective.
-What we think we can achieve and what we think we are going to miserably fail at doing can all change when we adjust our perspective.
-This entire topic of doing something of significances for God is really wrapped up in one word…, and that is: Willingness
Question you must ask yourself:
-Am I genuinely willing to change?
-Until you're willing to adjust your perspective, not much is going to change, and spiritual advancement comes to a halt.
If you’re not willing to move forward and progress, then you’re not going to move ahead and at that point God is not able to move on our behalf.
-Are you willing to lay the excuses aside and become everything that God wants you to become?
Consider this:
A rubber band has no purpose until it stretched.
Numbers 13:33 NKJ- There we saw the giants, and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
#2 Vision
-A vision for this church, your ministry responsibility and more importantly your life, must reflect a specific and meaningful purpose.
-A vision for this church, your ministry responsibility and your life cannot be vague because if it is you’ll get vague and unclear results.
-You vision must point to an achievable and attainable objective that results in actual and literal success and accomplishment.
#3 Resolve
-Resolve is a determination and spiritual fortitude within you that quitting is not an option.
This is true:
-What separates those from being good from becoming great is their resolve.
-You’ll always be given a chance to quit if times get tough.
-What makes the difference in accomplishing the task is having a strong resolve of mission.
Leadership That Shows
4th Session - The Value of Being Intentional
Bethal Christian Ministries
Listen to this statement:
"If you don’t know where you want to go, then I suppose you’ll in up anywhere."
Here’s what I continue to learn:
-Personal growth and being intentional with a plan to grow guarantees success.
Ask yourself:
What am I doing to develop myself?
· When it comes to self-improvement, it always starts with me.
· It's not about knowing the way it's about have you walked the way?
· You cannot give what you do not have.
· I think a major key to success, the main ingredient to having joy, being blessed is personalgrowth in one's life.
· What separates most people is their personal drive to grow and become better.
Some leaders talk about how they want to get better, but they don't want to do the work to get better.
-Personal growth keeps me learning.
-Personal growth keeps me relevant & fresh.
Statement:
"Some Christians have enough of God to make them decent…, but not enough of God in them dynamic."
-Personal growth keeps me in the game and interesting to be around so I can lead.
Statement:
"You don’t go into an opportunity you grow into an opportunity. "
· The fruit of everything in life comes with a challenge.
· If my leadership is going to grow, it can't just grow because I pray about it…, it has to grow because I do something intentional.
Question:
Do you have a plan for personal growth in your life?
· Growth and getting better and developing your life strategically are not automatic.
· Just because you get older does not mean your growing.
Four Growth Gaps
#1 The assumption gap.
-99% of people are assuming that somehow, they'll get better.
Statement:
Assumption can be a huge disappointment in life.
#2 You have the knowledge gap.
· Getting started is always the difficult part.
· It's easy to get excited about starting.
· When you don't know what to do, when to do, how to do, go back to where your passion lies, passion determines purpose, purpose give you direction.
#3 The Timing Gap
American politician Frank Clark said,
“What great accomplishments we’d have in the world if everybody had done what they intended to do. Most people don’t act as quickly as they should on things. They find themselves subject to the Law of Diminishing Intent, which says, “The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.”
#4 The Mistake Gap
Statement:
"A mistake is simply another way of doing things. " Warren Bennis
