People…

The world’s population is beyond comprehension.

Think about the plethora of languages.
Think about our inability to communicate adequately.
Think about how all of these people can come to know Christ.
Think about their soul!
Think about what can and needs to be done.

We need to give thanks for the dedication and willingness of mission minded brethren who have and continue to labor in uncomfortable places. We need to work with them and build upon their efforts in ways to reach more people. Think Souls!

Leadership Determination…

We often hear about the need to never give up. We often face situations where it seems easier to quit than persevere. Remember the words of Babe Ruth, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”

Leaders desperately need this quality today.

Discouragement is almost certain. Signs may point to defeat.

However, this one thought should constantly keep us motivated in the good fight of faith. Satan is banking on us giving up, especially as leaders.

The only way to fail is to quit. But, it is hard to beat a person who never gives up.

CIA…

This is not the Central Intelligence Agency.

Here, CIA stands for Consistency in Action. When leaders demonstrate consistency others have an example worth following.

Jesus constantly addressed the problem of inconsistency demonstrated by the religious leaders.

Their inconsistency was seen in giving, prayer, and fasting. Their worship was worthless. Their lips moved in the right direction, but their heart went in the opposite direction.

Jesus condemned them because their actions did not align with their teaching.

If we lead with CIA, our influence will reach greater heights.

Importance of Perseverance…

Perseverance is the ability to hold on five more minutes.

It is hard when we are at the end of the rope. Yet, one of the most needed qualities in leadership is perseverance.

How do we develop it?

Remember what has been invested and what is at stake.
Do not forget there is help. We are not alone.
Take one minute and one step at a time.
Develop a never quit attitude.

Perhaps simple, but they are foundational steps to perseverance.

The soul is worth our persevering. Think Souls.

Importance of Focus…

How many times do people refer to losing their focus? When athletes fall short of success, it is generally because they lost focus.

Leaders cannot afford to lose focus.

Distractions take the form of financial problems, family issues, health challenges, tragedy, email, texts, calls, and numerous other areas.

While we cannot ignore certain issues when they arise, we can learn from them and maintain our focus, or we can lose sight of our priorities.

Focus is a matter of choice.

People need leadership to help them maintain their focus.
