GOOD LEADERS ARE MENTORS

They play innumerable roles at the same time.Both father,instructor,role model,helper,counselor and so on.A good leader is supposed to offer advice,to rebuke,to give direction,to offer solutions and to bear long enough with the people that God has entrusted them to lead.That means that leadership is a call and responsibility at the same time.

Moses was born a leader and a case study of exemplary leadership.He led the Israelites and pleaded for their welfare before God.Jesus our fore runner exhibited great leadership.He discipled many men & women throughout His ministry.At one point He taught men even Peter how to catch men.He taught His disciples how to pray.He beared long enough with His disciples even when they chose to sleep in class when He took them to the mountain to train them how to pray.

Jesus was a problem solver as a leader.This we see at the wedding at Cana when wine had run out.Jesus was never tired.He was a good listener as a leader. He always answered His disciples wisely on anything that they asked Him.When they asked Him how they should pray - He never remained silent,He taught them the Lord's prayer.Jesus trusted His disciples and that is why He sent them out on a great commission to win souls and preach the gospel.That was internship.He wanted to see if the disciples had mastered and could practice what they had observed from Him and what He had taught them.

As a leader it is dangerous to isolate yourself from the people you are leading.It sets a wrong precedent.A leader should be the last person to be offended and to get offended.Jesus was never offended when His disciples abandoned Him at the garden.He never contemplated replacing the twelve except from Judas who killed Himself.Even after resurrection He still appeared and looked for His disciples - those who deserted Him.As a leader you are called to serve others & not to be served.We learn from Jesus how He served His disciples.He came to serve and not to be served.If you are a born leader God expects you to show leadership everywhere you go.In your office,at home,in the church and everywhere you go.It is a mandate,It is an assignment,it is a calling and an anointing.Remember a steward is a leader who is required to be faithful & give an account to God of the people he/she is leading.

The devil is crafty & trains his guns towards leaders.With Jesus he said -  *"I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter"* .

If you be a leader I pray God will grace you to remain firm,stable & committed to your course despite the challenges.Fear not you have the mantle and ability to to lead.Take the bull by its horns.Don't try to run away like Jonah.Don't be an observer when God expects you to lead.You can hide in the crowd but God will expect you to give an account later.Be encouraged!

Am here to E M P O W E R you!

THE HEART NOT ART OF PRAYER (part ii)

When our spirit soars to God it is on the wings of prayer. Prayer swings open the door into the dwelling of God Himself. Like the Bible, which is substantially a book of prayer, a church building is basically “a house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13). Only human beings can pray. We are unique in this respect. Angels worship, but we never hear of angels praying and prayer elevates us far beyond the animal level. Animals are not people and prayer is not in their nature. A dog sees its master kneeling in prayer but has no idea what is going on. People look up to God, but animals look up only to people. Atheists and uncivilized people can know God, but other creatures are at the farther side of an impassable gulf and do not even know that spiritual things exist. 

Prayer is also the wonder gift of the grace of God and our highest natural capacity. No person ever born can rise higher than on their knees before God. Men of genius—Beethoven, Michelangelo and Newton produced immortal work—and all of them prayed. Prayer was their most outstanding performance, coming from their spirit not merely their brain. 

Isaiah 29:14 puts it like this: “Behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” 

This standpoint is reinforced in Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV), where we read: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord.” We can all move on that plateau, whether we are people of great intelligence or the simplest of mortals.

“The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 29:19). 

May your prayer life change in jesus mighty name!

THE HEART NOT ART OF PRAYER

Prayer is not just a religious activity but it is a spiritual lifestyle that involves communicating with God and receiving an answer. Although many people are familiar with the topic, yet many still do not understand how to go about it. It feels like a mystery to them.

Praying is not complicated and you don’t need to be an expert in order to start. You can begin from where you are till praying becomes as easy as breathing. Here are six simple points on prayer:

1: You don’t need to use big English words in order to pray. Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. You can still tell God what your desires are in simple English, mother tongue or even in spiritual songs that relate to your need of prayer 

2: Your ability to pray is dependent on how much of God’s word you know. Many people say they cannot pray for long because they do not know how to pray. If you want to improve your prayer life then you must improve your word life. Because prayer is based on God’s word. Whenever you go before God, you go to Him with His Word. Because God responds only to His Word. If what you are asking doesn’t align with His Word, surely you will not get the answers you are looking for. Secondly, the more you study God’s word, the more you able to pray accurately and fluently.

3: Whenever you pray, pray in faith. The Scriptures tell us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Note that it didn’t say without prayer it is impossible to please God. Therefore, prayer void of faith doesn’t please God. You can’t come before God asking Him to do or to give you something, and not be confident that He is able to do it. Your prayer must always be founded on faith.

4: When you pray be definite about what you want. Many people just make general requests. For example, asking God you want a house is vague or too general. What kind of house do you want? Where do you want it located? What should it contain? So telling God you want a 6-bedroom house, situated at Kileleshwa is a much more specific prayer. When you are specific it is easier to know when God answers your prayer. So be specific when you pray.

5: When you pray, expect and receive your answer. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Jesus is saying when you pray, believe that you have received what you are asking for. It doesn’t take God years to give you an answer. Every time you appear before Him with a request, He answers. One thing to point out is this: God is a Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, His response will first happen in the spirit realm. So when you ask God for something, you have to believe you have the answer. When you hold on to what you have received, that is when over time it manifests in the natural. So believing you have received precedes the physical manifestation of your request.

6: Pray daily! The more you pray, the more you strengthen your prayer muscles. Muscles become weak over time when subjected to lack of use. Therefore, the more you pray, the more comfortable you become with it. Don’t only pray when you are in a crisis. Learn to pray to God at all times no matter the situation. Are we together on this?

These are a few points on prayer. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below. Please note that we share prayer points on from Thursday 2pm as we commence and we continue through Friday night Saturday day and night and eventually Sunday with holy communion prayer service!

I’m just from my morning glory devotions and the Lord told me to tell you, if you chose to seek Him for Who He is and not what He gives, He will dispatch your miracle instantly for He wants more of you than anything else at such a time as this!

It’s open to all free of charge. Hold the fort.

Career Vs Calling

‘Give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord.’

1 Corinthians 15:58

A career is something you choose; a calling is something you receive. A career is something you do for yourself; a calling is something you do for God. A career promises status, money, and power; a calling generally promises difficulty, suffering, and the opportunity to be used by God. A career may end with retirement and lots of toys; a calling doesn’t end until you die. A career can be disrupted by any number of events, but God enables you to fulfill your calling even in the most difficult circumstances."And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;: 1 Timothy 1:12

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." Acts 20:24

I’m on my lane on my race, Grace me Lord!

MAJOR BENEFITS OF PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

Major Benefits of Praying in the Spirit

1. In this dimension of prayer, we are able to bypass satanic opposition because he  and his agents have no idea what we are praying since the Holy Spirit is the one involved in the act! 

2. Our spirit-man is greatly built up when we truly pray in the Spirit

“20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy 

Ghost” Jude 20

Oh, that we may learn to give way to the Holy Spirit! Then He will simply bypass our minds, the seat of reasoning and simply speak through our tongues. No wonder there is such a refreshing, peace and joy whenever we truly pray in the Spirit. 

3. You can’t be worn out because the prayer is not done by might or by the  power of the flesh (exertion of the mind and will which is engaged when forming words and logic in natural prayer). 

4. We also pray in the Spirit when we forgo our agendas, let go and surrender our entire will to the Holy Spirit to lead us on as to what to ask for. In this state, we are so sensitive to His promptings that we do not exceed the circumference 

of the prayers He charts for us! He thus ministers to us what we need to ask for in prayer!

LET US GATHER TOMORROW FROM 5pm at Faf Kenya for hours of nonstop prayers.

PASTORS KIDS NEED MORE GRACE

Pastors sometimes preach on the 'God of provision' but after the service go back home and lack certain things (I have lived with one, and I am one so I know). 

It takes the grace of God to be a pastor's child and still love the Lord unconditionally and have the right heart and perspective on pastoral ministry and church. It's easier to talk about how pastor's children are the most pervated especially when you have never been one. But if you looked further you'll realise most of them felt left out when the pastor was spending time attending to your heart and needs, you who is now a critic.So when you see pastor's children genuinely loving God and stand firm in salvation, take that as proof of a heart that has been changed by God himself, because yes, we have so many reasons to turn away and discredit everything, but the grace and love of God overwhelms them all. You tell the story better when you're part of it!
