People: Can't Live With Them, Can't Lead Without Them

We need people. Without them nothing gets done and the vision dies. The only way to accomplish your God-given vision is to empower the people God has placed around you to get up and move forward.

It's hard to live with people; they complain when it goes wrong and when it goes right, it's not good enough. Then again, there is no way to lead without them. As leaders we must realize we can not lead Alone.

Let's forget the negative conotations of leadership and focus on casting our God-given vision in such a way that people become a springboard of victory and not an anchor of complacency. We need people and the moment we get them in on how God can use them, the quicker the vision will be complete and they will feel apart of what God is doing. After all isn't it about be unified in Christ anyways?

Amazing People

We come in contact with many people in our lives. In the mix of all those you interact with there is a group that will change you. They are the one who stick beside you and encourage you to be the man/woman of God you were created to be. Who are your 'Amazing People'?

You have to look for this group. They normally will not find them, you have to find them. You find them not by looking just for these people but by loving people and it will all fall into place.

Be who you were created to be but not alone. Find your Amazing People and be built up in community and be who you were created to be.

Mundane or Miraculous

Our lives are one these two, Mundane or Miraculous. What determines this are the choices we make and the risks we take.

Live a little, get out of your comfort zones and become the man or woman of God you were created to be. This will invoke doing things you've never done. If you are not who you were created to be you must do things you've never done.

Focus on God, Not Problems

We all have problems and situations that we have to deal and put up with. But the moment we let God take hold of them He can transform them into something that will give Him glory.

Like King Saul in 1 Samuel 19 he went after David in Ramah and when he got there the Spirit of God hit him and Saul began prophesying; like the servants he sent before after David.

Don't let your problems hold you back from the God-purpose on your life. Let God get ahold of them and the situation change.

Visionary Perspective

How do you see the world? The answer to this question will determine how you live in it. We must keep our eyes fixed on the One who made the world because He knows what to do and how to live.

Our vision must be determined by the God-given destiny that we have. If we go around just living for the sake of living the world will never know Christ. We must follow Christ wholly and never let our gaze leave Him, least we sink as Peter did while walking on the ocean.

Keep you eyes on Christ and follow Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
