A Leader after God's own heart - Part 1

Who is a leader? According to the dictionary, a leader is 1. A person who leads 2. A guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group Three references to a leader in the bible 1Chr1:27; 1Chr13:1; Isaiah 55:4 A leader is one who has been influenced and in turn influences others. Leadership is passion. Without passion, a person will have very little influence as a leader. I believe passion provides an individual with the light of leadership and creates an undeniable drive to make a difference. Leadership is not just achieved by those who speak the most eloquently, command the most attention or win the most awards. One doesn’t even have to be a head of department, manager or army commander. Rather, leadership is one’s ability to influence and help others. Some examples of leaders in the bible are Deborah, Moses, Paul, and of course, the Ultimate Leader, Jesus Christ. There are different kinds of leaders; our focus will be on servant leadership. The Call ...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Be sure to make New Year plans not New Year resolutions. A RESOLUTION is an expression of a will or intent; however, a PLAN involves actions and goals. As you make your plans, be sure to include THE ONE who gives the increase and HE will definitely send genuine helpers to water the plan. My prayer for you is that this year you will stand for something and not fall for anything. Much love, DeborahOfZion

This really ministered to me, as I know I tend to get busy doing so many things, and forget to just sit down patiently at the foot of Jesus and LISTEN. It is interesting that women complain that their husbands don't listen, well when was the last time you actually listened to Jesus. Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." D...
