SOL3 make up

Had to beat my body up early in the morning again... 
For just one lesson of SOL 3 that I missed and due to some screw-up, had to re-attend it (the 2nd time!!). But its always good to hear from Seng Lee. Always very refreshing and very inspiring.

Today's topic is on leadership, or rather supernatural leadership:

Leadership=Influence -> Person who leads People to achieve a (moral) Purpose

Character Transformation
Identity Redeemed (Read "Eros Redeemed" by John White)
Potential Developed

Leader must:
Direct Growth
Destroy Hindrances
Develop Inner Life
Demand Greatness

G12

What is G12? G12 stands for the Government of 12. It is God's strategy for us to effectively evangelize to multitudes of pple and disciple them at the same time. The Great Commission states that we should make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father , SOn and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. Jesus spoke to multitudes, but only concentrated on forming 12 apostles. Therefore the key is: focus on 12. Thru the 12 you will disciple the rest.

The year is governed by 12 months.
The day is governed by 12 hours
The night is governed by 12 hours
Israel was formed by 12 tribes
SOlomon had 12 governors
The Holy SPirit came when the 12th apostle was chosen
The fire of God fell when the 12 stones were built

The model of 12 provides direction and will ensure success and fruitfulness to anyone who embraces it. It is biblical. It is supernatural. It is manageable.

The Wasted Life

I must admit that serving in fcbc has kept me busy in ministry almost the whole time (smtimes to the point where i dun hav time worrying abt things). Its good to sit down n do self-reflection every once in a while. But i discover i must also be careful w my thots bcuz vain thots will try to set themselves in also, seeking to oppose whatever God is trying to do.



I was reading thru some old posts n quite amazed at some of the things i write. Come to think of it, i muz hav been really demoralised to write all tat. Maybe i wasn't happy working in crush after all. The book 'Successful leadership thru the G12" tells me that serving Jesus is not a waste. I have questioned before whether all the things I'm doing for Jesus have been a waste of time. I could hav gotten a better degree, a better paying job, maybe a car now, less headaches and more rest if i dun do the things that i did. But i cannot, becuz the power of the spirit is strong within me. Even if its a waste, Jesus says whoever loses his life for him will find it. And i've always remembered that. God never lies. So I ask myself why I'm serving Him again -



"To waste one's life in christ brings the most extraordinary satisfaction. Seeing thousands of lives and families transformed by the power of God produces a joy so special, that it is difficult to find anything in this world that surpasses it. The best decision that a human being can make is to invest every day of his life serving God." -Ps CCD



Somehow my heart and my spirit affirms that. And i recognise, for watever reason, that i will stick to this command, so that i can always have a clear conscience before God. Nothing is wasted when invested in Jesus.
