Help me this day to seek Your guidance in making me become more mature in my faith with the added experience I can gain by reading and studying Your Word. Open my eyes so I can see the needs of others so I can share the good news of the gospel with them.

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me.” Jn 9:4 NKJV

 

Like the rest of us, Jesus sometimes got tired (See Jn 4:6). But He was never stressed out by the job. He was led, but never driven. He knew what needed to be done and the amount of time required to do it, and He picked a team to accomplish it. Three of them—Peter, James, and John—were in His inner circle. It wasn’t that He showed favoritism; He just recognized the particular gifts of the people He worked with and what He needed from each of them to get the job done. An important step toward accomplishing something big is knowing the kinds of people you will need. In other words, you need to know who should be on your team. Jesus spent three-and-a-half years training His disciples before delegating responsibility to them. Was He afraid they would make mistakes, outshine Him, or make Him look bad? No, He told them, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father” (Jn 14:12 NKJV). Jesus was a team player who got things done through others. But even when you break a task down, strategically plan it, and recruit terrific people, you need one more component to succeed: teamwork! Teamwork is the glue that brings people together—and keeps them together. There are more than a billion Christians in the world today. And it all started two thousand years ago with one man who had a vision, a man who recruited and trained a team to fulfill that vision. If you’re wise, you will study His work philosophy.

“I must finish the work…he gave me to do.” Jn 4:34 CEV

 

Instead of confining Jesus to church on Sunday, let’s study His work philosophy (attitude, values, and beliefs) on how to get things done. The principles He lived by call for these: (1) Being clear about your assignment. He said, “I must finish the work…he gave me to do.” Jesus understood that focus maximizes skill and opportunity. So if you’re talented, energetic, and active and you’re still not seeing concrete results, your problem may be lack of focus. When Nehemiah was rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, his enemies said, “Come, let us meet together” (Ne 6:2 NKJV). That’s when Nehemiah sent back this message: “I am doing a great work, so…I cannot come down” (v. 3 NKJV). (2) Prioritizing tasks in the order of their importance. When you don’t do what has to be done according to its importance, jobs start to arrange themselves according to their urgency. And when that happens, you miss great opportunities. The Bible says Jesus “needed to go through Samaria” (Jn 4:4 NKJV). To the disciples, this probably looked like a diversion because it wasn’t the shortest route to where they wanted to go. But there was a woman in Samaria Jesus wanted to redeem; a vessel through which he reached the entire city with the gospel. Bottom line: Jesus was clear about his priorities. Are you? (3) Creating a definitive timetable. In other words, set deadlines and stick with them. Jesus knew He had only three-and-a-half years to get the job done, and He made every day count. One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is, “I’ll get to it later.” To succeed in life, let Jesus’ work philosophy become your master plan. Open / Comment

“God doesn’t want us to be shy with his gifts.” 2Ti 1:7 MSG

 

The foundation of good leadership is security. Paul told Timothy, “God doesn’t want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.” You must know with certainty that God called you, equipped you, and guaranteed your ultimate success. And you must keep this in mind when people stop liking you, when funding drops, when morale dips, and others reject you. If you feel insecure, fear will eventually cause you to sabotage your own leadership. Confident leaders see what is, while maintaining their vision of what can be. They’re rarely content with things the way they are. As President Ronald Reagan once quipped, “Status quo…is Latin for ‘the mess we’re in!’” By definition, “to lead” is to be out in front, breaking new ground, vanquishing new worlds, and proceeding away from the status quo. Dissatisfaction with the status quo doesn’t mean having a bad attitude or complaining; it has to do with a readiness to be different and to take risks. A person who won’t risk change is someone who fails to grow. A leader who loves the status quo is someone who soon turns into a follower. Raymond Smith of Bell Atlantic Corporation once remarked, “Administrators are easy to find and cheap to keep. Leaders—risk takers—are in very short supply. And the ones with vision are pure gold.” Many people are more comfortable dealing with old troubles than doing what it takes to find new solutions; risk seems dangerous to them. The secret lies in having a winning attitude—one that comes from being secure in who you are and what you have been called to do. Think about it! Open / Comment
