I am so excited to be a part of what God is doing in your life. God has an amazing design for each and every one of us! Let’s talk about the Word, the plan of God for your life, and how to live as a successful, strong Christian on this earth. Join me as we continue to grow in His Word and walk strong in the promises of God!

When you decide to be an effective witness, you are also deciding to be a leader.  You are deciding to be the one who sets the example for those around you.  As you minister to people, they will do the things you do and they will say the things you say.

An effective witness is someone who has made the decision to stand up and be a leader in the body of Christ.  There are many people who come to church all the time, but they have never made a decision to be a leader.  If you want to reach people and change their lives forever, you must take on the responsibility of being a leader through example.

As you train yourself to be a leader and minister to others, there are some attitudes and behaviors you should develop:

·       A leader believes in themselves. The Bible does not tell us to think lowly of ourselves.  The Bible tells us to be confident and strong in who we are as Christians.  Matt 28:20 “…Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  We need to believe in ourselves the way God believes in us. God says in II Corinthians 3:5-6 that He has made us an able minister of the New Testament.

·       A leader is an ambassador. We are to go and do the work of the ministry.  We are to represent our kingdom and our God with all power and authority, knowing the calling we have on our lives.  II Corinthians 5:20 says: “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”  Let it come out of your mouth boldly, with power, and authority, knowing that God has given you that right.

·       A leader is a giver.  Leaders do not think of themselves first, they think of others and act selflessly towards people. Matthew 10:39 says: “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”

·       A leader is committed.  How committed you are to helping people will determine how effective you are.  Being committed means being prepared when you are needed.  You are committed to knowing the scriptures, and speaking up when the time is right.

·       A leader walks in love.  Christian love is not an impulse from a feeling. It seeks the welfare of all.  It is only known by the actions that it prompts.

·       A leader speaks positively.  As a leader it is essential that we maintain a positive approach to life.

As a Christian you are called of God, therefore, He needs you.  He has given you the ministry of reconciliation and you have a high calling on your life.  God is working through you.  YOU ARE A LEADER!
