TOPIC:LEADERSHIP





Taught by: Rachael Tay

   The drive for leadership begins from the desire to fulfil purpose.From the beginning, Gen 1:26 God tells man to have dominion over the things he created.Having dominion is fulfilling purpose.And you cannot talk about leadership without talking about purpose.Every man has a purpose in life. So everyman is in capacity to lead.
  True leadership begins with you.The first person you lead is yourself.
  What is your purpose in life and how are you going about it to glorify God? Leadership is a selfless act. It comes with bearing sacrifices.

  How you lead yourself determines the kind of followers you will have.Jesus said in His word that a servant cannot be greater than his master.What you want to see in the people that follow you must be a trait you have in you.
   Jesus Christ is a perfect example. Everything He wanted from us He first became it,therefore we can equally say like Paul imitate me as I imitate Christ.

  Remember that leadership has to do with dominion over things God created but not over man.When we begin to have dominion over man that becomes tyranny.So God is expecting us to bring His Kingdom here on earth.

   As Christian leaders, we are ambassadors for the kingdom conforming what is on earth to look like heaven. We don't fit into the conditions created by the world but we take charge and show them the way.
   Showing people the way in any sphere of influence such as music, sports, fashion, politics, entertainment, business etc is leadership.God is expecting us to find dominion in those areas.So let's look back at our lives and where we find ourselves how is our life impacting others- not necessarily what we say.

  Are we truly acting as salt of the earth and light to the world?You see when we don't lead in these aspects we are letting God down.

  I believe that leadership is every believer's call and the way it would be carried out differs that is diverse mode of operations as the Lord gives abilities through the help of the Holyspirit:He is always there to help us.
   We all know how a nation complains when there is no right leader to lead them,so is it when we also don't lead in the areas God has placed us.

  To summarize everything- leadership begins with you after you've discovered your purpose, then set the standards according to God's kingdom and don't fit in, stand out.

WHY SHOULD I READ?

TAUGHT BY:faith EDOBOR   Why should you read? You should read because there are a lot of benefits attached to reading which I will be pointing your attention to in this  article.   1:Reading help to improve your Focus and concentration:   When you are fully engaged in a book,it involves closing off the outside world and immersing yourself into the text, which over time will strengthen your attention span by helping you to do away with any form of distractions.   2:It also help to improve your imagination:   You are only limited by what you can imagine and the words described in books;as well as other peoples views and opinions which will also help you expand your understanding of what is possible. By reading a written description of an event or a place, your mind is responsible for creating that image in your head.  3:Reading also help to broaden your horizon:   I know many people are attracted to people in this category;Reading makes you SMARTER:Reading gives you a chance t

Redeeming Love

The book " Redeeming Love " written by Francine Rivers is a Christian Fiction and romance novel which is almost replica, more like a retelling, of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea. The book has two versions, the original which was published in 1991 and the second version published in 1997. The essence of the second version was to make it more presentable to Christian literature market. More editing was done on the original copy in a bit to remove some coarse words and love scenes, making it a clean read.  It is a novel that is beautifully written with so much grace and eloquence. Undoubtedly a page turner, once you begin, you keep going till the end.  The storyline is centred around Sarah, who was never accepted by her father because she was an illegitimate child from her parent's secret love affairs. Suddenly, Sarah's mother, Mae, stops receiving support from her lover and so retorted to sleeping around to fend for herself and her daughter. Unfortunately,
