LeadTip #9 Selflessness not selfishness
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33.
The economy of God operates on the principle of giving produces receiving. Much like planting seeds produces a harvest. Giving of your love, time, finances, and life for the benefit of others. It is based on selflessness and not selfishness.
The saying “live a balanced life” is often a worldly philosophy to support self indulgence over self sacrifice. We must be honest when it comes to the giving of our lives to the work of the Lord. Jesus teaches the more we give for His sake the more we receive in this life as well as eternal life.
There will never be a person who leaves earth saying I wish I had done less for God.
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.
