Leadership - 39

Leadership – January 2021

 

In today’s 2 Empower U, Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach will talk to you about leadership, something that many of you can certainly relate with. There are leaders everywhere – in school, the office, the Church, in your organization, and even at home. The Pastor will share with you the reasons why God is the GREATEST leader of all. 

 

Pastor Thomas will further explain this to you: Jesus knew His mission statement. Jesus declared His mission and did it. He regularly visualized the success of His own efforts. You can do the same.

 

Four Points – How Jesus Leads

 

Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach wants you to look at Jesus as a leader – how He leads – and make Him your inspiration for your leadership journey. The Pastor wants you to take note of four significant points:

 

1. I declare a thing and it is done for me.
2. My word accomplishes that which I send it out to do.
3. I always do what pleases God.
4. God always answers my prayers.

 

Know who your Boss is and be in touch with Him at all times. Lest you forget, Pastor Thomas wants you to remember that GOD IS YOUR BOSS. Meet with your Boss, talk to Him every day. Set aside some time for your Boss.

 

“God is the best leader. You have to partner with the Holy Spirit, and God will show you what to do. That’s what Jesus did.”

- Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

Also, the Pastor wants you to know your mission statement, just like Jesus. This was Jesus’ mission statement:

 

“The spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

- Luke 4:18-19

 

The Pastor also wants to encourage you to believe in yourself. Encourage yourself. Be confident. Remember: Jesus never denied Himself of His own power. 

 

“The power of God lives inside of you. God believes in you.”

- Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

People need a leader who has confidence. 

 

Another good point that the Pastor raises is this: you have to see things the way God does. Your situation is always different from everyone else. 

“As a man thinketh, so is he.”

- Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

Lastly, Pastor Thomas wants you to be confident in your plans. No one can ruin them. Look at Jesus as your inspiration. Even if He knew He was going to suffer; even if He knew Judas was going to betray Him, he did not alter His plans and even gave Judas the same power that He gave the other disciples. Jesus was confident that no one can ruin His plans. 

 

You are the only person who can ruin your plans. Make sure this does not happen to you.

 

“Nobody can keep you down unless you decide not to rise again.”

- Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

God has great plans for you. Keep this in mind.
