Congratulations You're A Leader

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’RE A LEADER - JENN JOHNSON

When you become saved you become a leader.

• You have a place of influence in people’s lives as a Christian.

God has called you to a free life.

• Do not use your freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want, and destroy your freedom.
• Use your freedom to serve one another.

Being saved looks like a life of servanthood.

• The goal of life is to serve and love people well.
• To be great, become a servant of all.
• Servanthood - living a life in service to others.

Being a leader looks like being aware of the condition of your flocks, and having compassion in your heart towards them.

• Partner with the Holy Spirit to be aware of what is going on in your flocks’ lives.
• Proverbs 27:23

Our lives speak louder than our actions.

• Our actions are not only seen, but they leak out and influence people around us even when unseen.
• If you make a mistake, clean up your mess and move on.
• Don’t sit in your mess and your pain.

How you walk through your failure is more important than being perfect.

• The power of your victory is contagious.
• When you have a victory, you carry it and are now empowered to give it away.

Living above reproach.

• Holy Spirit is the key to living above reproach because it looks different for every person.
• Grey Scale - all of the colors in between black and white. How the color is defined along the scale, depends on how the light shines through it.
• The Holy Spirit dictates if most things are right for your life. It is a day to day Journey.
• We need to be sensitive to what God is doing in us and through us in our current season.

Religion is hard lines. A relationship is dictated and guided by the Holy Spirit.

• The Holy Spirit is fun. It won’t look perfect with Him, but it is better.

It is very important to know your strengths and your weaknesses.

If you can learn to celebrate someone else's success, it will trump envy and the spirit of comparison in you.

• Find out what God says about them, and how God sees them.
• Focus on what God is doing in you, instead of where He is taking you.

Walking in health in your Spirit, Soul, and Body

• Take captive every thought.
• If you have 5 minutes to pray, take 3 of them and worship, and see what your heart wants to pray after that.
• One of the most important things about being a Leader is your attitude.

Home church is essential.

• Serving makes you who God is calling you to be.
• Serving helps you to not only build "fire" but maintain "fire".
