THE LEADER AND KINGDOM BUSINESS

THE LEADER AND KINGDOM BUSINESS

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way (Apostle E H Guti)

BURDEN

Ne:1:4: And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

• The push that gives you the sense of duty, obligation and responsibility

• There is no leader who is going to be successful without a burden
• Any great work of God through someone begins with a burden in that someone
• Kingdom business calls for people who are burden bearers, stand in the gap.
• A person with a burden will never wait to be pushed because the burden pushes him
• What takes burden? Church politics, Lack of seriousness, offences, surroundings/environment, challenges, sin
• Signs that the burden has gone: The commitment, devotion, zeal, energy, effort, and passion we put in our things in comparison to the same we have put in the Kingdom of God. No longer participating in Kingdom business, change of language, no longer faithful in matters of the Kingdom.

Signs of the burden: 1. Concern (Asked about the state of affairs: Nehemiah’s body was in Persia, but his heart and his interest were in Jerusalem (things of God) – 800 miles away. He wanted to know from those returning how the people and the city were doing).

2. Sat down 3. Wept and mourned 4. Fasted 5. Prayed 6. God of heaven

EYES WHICH SEE

Ø  Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power ~Seth Berkley

Ne:2:12: And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.

Leaders see:

·         What others don’t see: A leader’s eyes moves into the spiritual realm and see what others don’t see. 

·         Before others see: Be always the first to see the need of the projects.

·         Ahead of others: It is a shame for any leader to behind of followers. You can’t be in 2010 when your followers are in 2019. This is one of the greatest challenges as it causes friction in kingdom projects and business.

·         Beyond others: When followers see in short term terms, leaders go into the long term range or mode. Most of buildings and projects were done by people who saw in the short term.

·         Further or bigger than others: When followers see something you see it from another angle and size or magnitude. Quality and excellence works well with leaders who see further than others (sketch of the mission house)

 ATTITUDE

Ø  It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome ~ William James

Ne: 2:20: Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

·         A predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual's choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards (together called stimuli).

·         Attitude can be positive or negative

·         The leader is his or her attitude. The leader’s altitude is measured by his attitude (Baba Guti)

·         Willing heart and mind comes from a willing attitude.

·         Kana usingadi even unazvo haupi because of attitude

TEAMWORK (Nehemiah 3)

Ø  Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team. John C. Maxwell

Neh 4:16: And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

• There are those who oppose the vision but there are those who must support the vision
• Every Kingdom Business will face opposition. It then calls for those who support Kingdom Business to have strong passion, devotion, burden and zeal to counter and prevail over those who oppose Kingdom Business.
• It is dangerous for a vision bearer to lack a team which support the vision
• Even if all do not support the pastor on what should be done, volunteer to be in the team of the visionary.
• It is the duty of every leader to convince Kingdom Business opposers to become supporters. However, one should know that you will win some and some will remain opposers. With that in mind, still Kingdom Business should go ahead. Nothing can stop a passionate LEADER.
• A team encourages the burden bearer or the visionary.
• You are discouraged to move without anyone backing you.

KINGDOM PARTNERSHIP

Ø  Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. Warren Bennis

Neh 4:23: So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that everyone put them off for washing.

• We must carry Kingdom mentality that which understands that as we do the work we are partnering with Kingdom.
• Kingdom partners are part of the Kingdom and they can’t afford to see the Kingdom suffer when they are there (commitment, devoted, sacrifice)

• Kingdom partners give as individuals and do not wait for the whole church Big days.
• Kingdom partners do not wait for DC, workers or building committee or pastors’ push
• Kingdom partners are not begged to do work or give to projects
• Examples: mission house toilets, mota, ceiling, painting of inside, state of the art mission house, offices, curtaining, aircorn, state of the art desk,

 FAITH

Ø  Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams. Ben Carson

Ne 2:10: When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

• Faith is the key when opposition to projects come. There are leaders who always oppose development. Tichafamba nevekutenda
• Projects succeed or fail based on the faith of the leadership at the place. Faith unlocks closed doors
• Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God ~  Rom 10:17
• Faith calls things which are not as though they were ~ Rom 4:17
• Faith translates the unseen to the seen

GRACE AND FAVOUR

Ne 2:5: And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

Ne 2:18: Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me.  And they said, Let us rise up and build.  So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

• Sometimes it is not the pace but the grace of the place.
• God enables us according to the favour he has bestowed upon us.
• As we do projects, we must value favour of God especially in tough economic environment.

Ne: 5:19: Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

MAN AND HIS DRESSING

*MAN AND HIS DRESSING*

SIZES

1. A man must know his exact size be it trousers, shirts, pants shoes etc. It is disturbing to you and people around to wear something which is not your size.
2. A man must know that there are different size modes, configurations or labelling depending with country state zones. Chinese, American, British have different size dimensions. In some instances some actually use letters instead of numbers. As you order your suit be clear which mode are you using.
3. A man must know about size 'cuts'. A shoes can be of same size but from a different cut. You may see that if a shoe is of small cut, you may not fit it though it is your size.
4. A man must know about slim fits sizes. Gone are the days to wear baggy clothes where you drown in your clothes. However, we must know our bodies as far as slim fits are concerned. Slim fits must not be too tight to show all your body configurations especially the back and front. Because of body sizes, some slim fits are only for special events where there is little movement because they can tear easily.
5. A man must know how to maintain size. Your size can be maintained by healthy living. To add on this, check how you carry yourself in the clothes. Some clothes become too lose because of the way we carry ourselves in them. Avoid putting cell phones in your pockets, bras etc. This disfigures you and your clothes.
6. A man must know about clotheels alterations. Some people don't have uniform body shapes. For example the size may be correct but hands may be shorter than the jacket sleeves. In this case, you may need alterations. Similarly with trousers. These days some trousers come with alterations provisions to match your height etc. Don't wear trousers longer than your legs please. Most men's trousers are torn at then end because as they walk the trousers end will be dragged along.
7. A man must know about labels on the clothes. Those label must be removed as soon as you buy the suit. These are for advertising the manufacturer of your clothes.

CAPACITY TO MATCH YOUR CHALLENGE

CAPACITY TO MATCH YOUR CHALLENGE

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small~ Proverb 24:10

In life, we have to understand that adversities, challenges, trials, crises or problems are bound to come. It is with this sense and understanding that the above passage is coming from. There is a day of adversity, there are days of challenges and hours of trials or crises. That much anyone must understand.

However, it should be noted that in this case the problem being addressed here is not the problem. The problem is not the problem. It is not the problem which makes people faint. The reason is that problems and challenges come to actually test our strength, capacity, faith and stamina. So when one fail when a crisis comes, it has much to do with the capacity or strength one has to sail through the challenge.

Therefore, one thing we must pray for is the capacity to match the challenge or the adversity. However, sometimes it is just applying what the Word says. Scriptures admonish us that when a temptation comes God has already deposited capacity to match such kind of temptation ad a way to escape the temptation;

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it ~ 1 Co:10:13.

God cannot allow you to suffer beyond the capacity you have. Utilise the power in you. There is a power which should work in you according to Ephesians 3:20. Sometimes it is just fear which makes people not to see the capacity in them. Sometimes we look at the problem and not look at the capacity within. Prophet Jeremiah challenges Israel;

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?  and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? ~ Jeremiah 12:5

You have to check your capacity. Capacity makes people to quit too early. Jeremiah teaches us that there are greater challenges which needs a greater capacity. If we fail when smaller capacity is required how would we sail through when the greater challenge comes? I am encouraged by the scriptures that by waiting upon the Lord we renew the strength, capacity and energy in us;

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint~ Isa: 40:31:

We need to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Heb 12:2). Faith is the capacity to withstand adversity. Faith is a component needed by any believer. Capacity and strength for adversity will make you not to break, be distressed and not destroyed because this capacity belongs to God;

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; ~ 2 Co:4:7-9

It is time to soldier on. You will sail through. Do not look at the problem. Do not be carried away by the challenge. There are better days to come. (2 Cor 4:17-18). Shadreck, Misheck and Abednego had confidence in their God. They did allow the king or anything intimidate them. They knew their capacity and strength;

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.  If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up ~             Dan 3:16-18

I pray that the capacity in you matches the challenge coming your way. You will make it. God is able to make you stand the heat.
