He was very sure because at one point in his life he was a wolf, persons will become wolves to suite their own agenda. We need to watch out for wolves who are only here for personal gain, those that distort the truth in order to control believers. We need to ensure that Christ is being preached in the correct manner, His death, burial…

Being a leader it is very important to know your flock as best as you can, however depending on the size it might be worth commissioning other persons over the flock if you are unable to interact with everyone personally, but being able to have a close relationship with each person provides a deeper level of trust as a leader. Oftentimes we…

Reply to What are some ways you can be a compassionate and nurturing leader to your flock?

Firstly I need to understand in order to be compassionate to those around me I need to remember that I am a sheep of the Good Shepherd and based on how God has nurtured and care for me, I will be able to do the same for those He has given to me as sheep. Secondly I need to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of the sheep in whatever…

Leaders who work in isolation are those that generally lack the ability to delegate responsibilities to team members or don’t have competent staff working with in the first place, it can even be said that keeping one’s self busy is a way to keep the mind away from external distractions. Measuring success is based on goals achieved at the end…

A leader is the core of each group, the energy flows from that person to other members within the that group. A leader should be able to lead with a heart of Love, not to be seen as a weakness but more so as strength to carry out the task at hand. As christian leaders our aim is the build the body of Christ, while helping those around us to…

Reply to Which of the four key terms associated with union with Christ is easiest for you to relate to? Which is the most difficult? Explain.

Of the four terms, I believe participation is the easiest to relate to because it speaks of us with Christ through the things that happened to Him, ie His death, burial & resurrection, but His participation includes His life, for if we are truly to be alive in Him we must do the work just like Him. Incorporation would be the most difficult… Read more

I have used our daily bread, for many years and I am currently using through the word. Both helps to communicate with God in a deeper way that enriches my life and walk with the Lord.
