LeadTip #5 The Church is You
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. I Corinthians 12:27
The church is an assembly of people who make Jesus Lord and Savior of their lives and who continue to do His work on the earth.
The church is you! You worshipping, you serving, you giving, you in unity and loving your brothers and sisters in Christ, you sharing the love of Jesus with others.
The church is the body of Christ and each one of us is part of it. So when someone mentions the church they are talking about you. When someone says look at what the church is doing for kids, for families, for the needy, the hurting, the community, it is you they are talking about!
What is the church doing today, this week, this month, this year? Remember you are the church. You make a difference!
Seek wisdom and understanding before making life altering decisions. God wants the best for our lives.
Faith is something that needs to be fed. Faith is what causes us to make decisions that oppose unbelief, fear, carnal desires, emotions, and cultural deceptions.
The church is how Jesus calls us, gathers us and prepares us for His return. It is the most important thing happening on the earth.
There will be many voices throughout your life calling to you and trying to gain your allegiance.
Leaders must have patience and overwhelming love for those they are called to mentor and equip.
When you as a leader see something that is outright hurtful to the life of a person, or hear of sin in the camp, you must act.
Along with other important requirements, God requires leaders in His organization, the church, to be hospitable.
Setting your priorities on a to- do list is greatly beneficial to your productivity and efficiency for the day ahead.
