we just about rocket off Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:34 PM there are times when things seem to perniciously slip out of our hands. but these times are about a jet rocket taking off. today, we had f zone mtg and we kind of tied down alot of stuff for the rest 3/4 of the year. it was surely motivating, inspiring for me. drive is one thing but when an external source does something to you that wrecks you totally, you know that's something to remember. we're all about growth, focus, building, army, pray, blah blah blah now and i really think people are going to rise. i was reading and i was awestruck by how people see the ministry. everything rises and falls on leadership and today Dominic told me it's really all about us... about me (: humbled but then proud in every sense. Apostle Paul instructs Titus to appoint leaders in every 'city', not every church. He didn't mention church in the bible. Not every city in a nation had a church! The assumption was to send a leader into a nation, into a particular city, create a church and transform the place. This was the kind of leadership in the olden times. It is impressive to just know this fact. God has left us in whatever place we are in with the same purpose; TO TRANSFORM IT! A leader must must be reputable (: Take care of character, God will take care of your reputation. So because of good character you have good reputation and like Titus, an entire city was entrust to his command. He was obedient to Paul's instructions man. And here's another thing... A leader has only as much authority as the people he or se leads are willing to give him or her. We believe in not irritating people! hahhs! It can't be just be initiating to talk to you or your leaders doing that right? Or even someone of influence and authority from another zone??? 2 hands to clap... How many times have we watched movies when there's mutiny in the troops? Led by this one guy... and in the end everyone turn against him... ahahahahaha Hmmm... i was just thinking... If we're submitted to authority, we are empowered. And it's something that we all need to have in our lives. It's an amazing empowerment. Personally, i feel free, i feel liberty, i feel autonomy to do what i do in my zone, i can run with a clear mind because i know Charleston, Dominic, Pastor Lia and Pastor How knows every single think about me.... what's on my mind, who i talk to, who i.... why i.... how i.... And i really really thought of it and i believe that it's because of this healthy strong relationship i have with them that empowers me to run so so fast. Thoughts like their too busy should never come into the mind you know? When you think like this, then there's something really wrong. We have to mature in our thinking (: I have the luxury to do so much stuff and alot of people in church, dominic, charleston, garrett, myself, roy, jian ming, etc etc grow so so fast because we have this form of insightful relationship with people around us! So it made us.. and it really did. I wanna be made
