Brain teaser: What do you see?



Passage to memorizeGenesis 1:31-2:1

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good … Thus the heavens and the

earth were completed in all their vast array.



The christian life is a bit like a mountain: it can be a difficult climb, but the view from the

top is great



Well led organizations• Well led organizations can accomplish far

more than any individual can hope to accomplish alone.

• Effective leaders create a structure that nurtures the health of those they lead.

• Moses did this by hand-picking potential leaders, training them and empowering them. Exodus 18: 1-27.



I Corinthians 14: 40• Everything should be done in a fitting and

orderly way.” since God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

• God has instituted authority structures in the spheres of marriage, parenting, the church and the state.

• See also 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9 for those who guide local churches.



Never let the organization becomes the obstacle: Numbers 11: 1-35

• Leaders are to love and serve their followers.

• Followers are to love one another and follow their leaders.

• It is about the leadership style, relationships and to what extent he or she really connects with the people.



The ideal structure; Deut 1: 13-18

• Various structures exist.• Organizational structures must be

designed to channel resources to meet the task and mission of the ministry.

• Structures are relative not absolute; dynamic and flexible, mission directed.



No person is fit to

command another that

cannot command

him or herself.

William Penn

Give us a clear vision that we may know where to stand

and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for

anything.Peter Marshall



When people are in the wrong ministry

• The wrong person in the wrong ministry = Regression

• The wrong person in the right ministry = Frustration

• The right person in the wrong ministry = Confusion

• The Right person in the Right ministry = Progression

• The Right people in the Right ministries = Multiplication



THE LAW OF THE COMPASSJohn Maxwell

Vision gives team

members direction and confidence



Becoming a better team member• Is your integrity unquestioned (character)?• Do you perform your work with excellence

(competence)?• Are you dedicated to the team’s success

(commitment)?• Can you be depended on every time

(consistency)?• Do your actions bring the team together

(cohesion)?



Champions in evangelism don’t become champions in the ring – they are merely recognised there. They score in heavenAdapted by Moses from John Maxwell



Too many people make cemeteries of their lives and ministries by burying their talents and gifts. Oswald Avery advises, “ Whenever you fall, pick something up”.



Prayer Focus• Father, In the name of Jesus, I

surrender myself to walk in the Word. Your word living in me produces the Life in this world.

• The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. It makes my way plain before me.

• I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God! Amen



Come now is the timeCOME, NOW IS THE TIME TO WORSHIPCOME, NOW IS THE TIME TO GIVE YOUR HEARTCOME, JUST AS YOU ARE TO WORSHIPCOME, JUST AS YOU ARE BEFORE YOUR GOD ,O, COMEONE DAY EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS YOU

ARE GODONE DAY EVERY KNEE WILL BOWSTILL THE GREATEST TREASURE REMAINS FOR

THOSEWHO GLADLY CHOOSE YOU NOW



Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)



Learning, application and commitment

• One of the Biblical truths (principles) that I have learned from this lesson was …

• I intend to apply this truth (principle) in my business/Ministry by: …..

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will begin applying this truth immediately. I ask and expect my group to hold me accountable for this and to check with me periodically to determine if I am doing so. Please ask me …..



Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
