VICTORIOUS LIVING INSPIRATIONS

Moses did not argue with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram when they rose up against him and questioned his authority as a leader. He didn't argue with them in an attempt to defend himself. He simply let them speak. However, he recognized the spirit behind their stubbornness and rebellion and in response, fell on his face in intercession on their behalf!! It wasn't until AFTER HE PRAYED that he gave them a response. (Numbers 16) Moses' response is a good example of how those in authority should respond to insubordination. Demonstrate humility and try not to become argumentative!!! Take it to the Lord in prayer!! He can handle it better than you can. A genuine leader always wants what's best for others even when others don't want what's best for them.

Whenever I attend a home going service, as I watch the home going of Apostle R.J. Washington,   and as I listen to the words and the message of others regarding the deceased, the first thing I do is take inventory of my own life and ministry. What can I do to improve at what I am already doing? What can I do to FINISH WELL?   As our leadership bootcamp class prepares their group assignment, we discussed the characteristics of a leader who finishes well. One of the characteristics of a leader who FINISHES WELL is that they leave behind one or more ultimate contributions. As I studied the attributes of a leader who finishes well I found what I have always known: a leader leaves a legacy as a model for others to emulate. A leader is a mentor with a desire to see lives changed. According to J. Robert Clinton, a strong leader is one who produces writings to help others in their Christian work and promotes, motivates, and inspires others to live out their God-given destiny!!!   My d

'WHILE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS DIE' When someone takes the life of another, we cry and we pray!!! When a BELIEVER takes the life of another believer, we shake our heads and wonder "How could this happen?" As I listen to the reports of another school shooting where two of the victims are believers and married. As I observe and find that the killer (husband), who ultimately kills himself, in a comment says he is a Pastor. As I constantly hear reports of abusive spouses, including those in ministry, several things come to mind: 1. Were there any signs and if so, did anybody recognize them and attempt to do something about it? 2. Are we so busy "having church" that we are oblivious to the needs of hurting people? 3. Have we become so "PROGRAMMED" that we are unable to see when there is a real problem? 4. Are we so busy trying to make our names great that we forget our obligation to serve others? 5. When will be learn to stop "dressing u

"I'm the best decision this organization has ever made" (Tom Brady, New England Patriots) Tom Brady spoke words of affirmation when the organization said he was too skinny, to tall, and too slow!!! The organization looked at the problems, but Tom focused on his POTENTIAL!! From 6th round draft pick to THE GREATEST quarterback of all time!!! TODAY, focus on your potential and speak words of affirmation!!!! There is GREATNESS in you!!! Whatever you do and wherever you go, strive to be THE BEST!!!! You have it in you!!! #speakoveryourself #justbelieve #livevictoriously
