4 Keypoints From: Good Followership (4)

  • No matter how strong leaders may appear to be, they need to be encouraged sometimes by their followers.
  • Speaking words of encouragement, sending gifts, and honouring your leaders in whatever way you can, will help them feel encouraged to keep going, despite the burden of leadership.
  • When God lays it in your heart to do something to encourage your leader, please do not hesitate to do it; it may be the difference between the leader giving up or continuing the work.
  • A good follower will always try to reduce the stress on a leader rather than add to it.

    • “Send a message or buy a gift for your leader today to encourage them for all the work they do and the burdens they bear.”

    MEMORISE: Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; (Romans 15:30)

    2 Keypoints From: Good Followership (3)

  • You must not keep quiet when you see your leader going in the wrong direction; respectfully correct them.
  • In correcting a leader, ensure that it is for the good of the leader and other followers rather than to show that you know better.

    • “Discuss with the leader privately, showing love and respect. Present the matter in a way that will be easy to accept, or find someone that is closer to the leader to present it on your behalf. The leader might find it easier to take the correction form that fellow than from you.”

    Memorise: But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. (Galatians 2:11:-14)

    2 Keypoints From: Good Followership (2)

  • Good followers recognise that their leader needs help and seek to provide it before the leader asks for it.
  • Sometimes, supporting your leader will not be convenient. When you step in to help your leader's weakness, others might laugh at you and even call you names.

    • “Some followers, because their leader doesn't know how to keep track of money, start stealing from the accounts instead of helping to manage them. Some others tell people about their leader's weaknesses to discredit them.”

    Never try to take advantage of your leaders' weakness. Help them instead.

    Memorise: But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exodus 17:12)

    3 Keypoints From: The Good Followership (1)

  • Leaders are raised from amongst the followers, so the better the followers, the better the quality of leaders.
  • Submission is one of the greatest attributes that a follower can have. It is different from cooperation.
  • Some follower steal because they are ready to sacrifice the interest of the entire group to satisfy their personal interest.

    • “Some people may say, "I don't steal, I just disobey my leader because I don't like him." This is, however, just as bas as stealing. In Matthew 25:24-30, the servant who was given one talent to trade did not steal the talent also, yet called unfaithful.”

    If you want to be a good leader, you must first be a good follower by obeying your leader and putting common interests above yours.

    Memorise: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)

    4 Keypoints From: Growing In Faith

  • For your faith to really grow, don't just study the word and pray; seek to hear from God concerning your life. His voice will cause a surge in your faith.
  • Just as you grow your muscles through physical exercise, grow your faith by exercising it as well.
  • If you believe god for something and don't make any move in line with what you believe, your faith will never grow.
  • Testimonies will also grow your faith. Hearing someone's testimony builds faith in you to know that God can also move on your behalf.

    • “Purposely search for testimonies of people who have gone through what you are going through. As you hear their testimonies, your faith will rise, and you will also get a miracle.”

    Prayer Point: Father, please help me to continuall y grow my faith in You.

    Memorise: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Dangerous And Benign

  • When you're baptised in the Holy Spirit, it might seem like nothing has changed about you, but the reality is, you have become very dangerous to the enemy and his cohorts. (2 Kings 1:9-12)
  • To become dangerous to your enemies, ensure that you carry the fire of God inside you in great measure. If the devil as been tormenting you, the way to get him off your shoulder is to carry the fire of God.
  • Become addicted to praying in the Holy Ghost. As you do this (praying often), the fire of God starts boiling inside you.

    • “Speak in tongues for at least one hour today, and make this a daily practice going forward.”

    Memorise: And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. (Acts 13:11)

    3 Keypoints From: Content vs Container

  • It doesn't matter if everyone in the world thinks that a fellow is the closest person to Jesus Christ. If he or she is not truly born again, Jesus will deny the fellow on the last day.
  • Don't pretend to be a Christian, genuinely give your life to Christ if you haven't done so and live a holy life henceforth. You cannot call Jesus 'Lord' and keep on obeying the devil.
  • Make your inside clean first, and then the outside will be clean as well. It is not the other way round.

    • “Some people can deceive the whole world with their container, but that will only put them in more trouble because it will become more difficult for them to get on the right track with God.”

    Memorise: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5)

    3 Keypoints From: Elders Are Wise

  • There are certain things that elders know that Google, as vast as it is, does not know.
  • There are some experiences that they have when it comes to relating with other people that you cannot learn in any book or university.
  • If you take care of your elders and learn from them, there is a lot you will know and have as an advantage over your peers.

    • “Write a list of godly elders that you have around you, and start taking care of them and spending time with them from now. You will learn a lot from them before they go to be with the Lord.”

    Never despise the advice of godly elders.

    MEMORISE: With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. (Job 12:12)

    3 Keypoints From: Honour Elders

  • You cannot claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit and dishonour your elders; that would be a lie.
  • A true child of God always honours elders, regardless of his or her status. (1 Timothy 5:1-3)
  • No matter how wrong an elder is, you must share your opinion respectfully and never dishonour them. (Job 32:4)

    • “Don't say you have holy anger and speak to an elder disrespectfully. Don't claim to be fighting for God and dishonour and elder.”

    Memorise: Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:32)

    3 Keypoints From: Your Arrows

  • Young men can shoot arrows far ahead of them to ward off the enemy or dangerous animal in their path. Likewise, your children are to go ahead of you into your future to make it more pleasurable.
  • Invest in your children, they will be there for you when you are old, and when you are long gone, the results of your investment in them will still be obvious.
  • Choose to spend quality time with them to teach them the basic principles of life and God's word. No investment in your children ever expires. (Ecclesiastes 7:8*

    • “Are you doing your best when it comes to training your children?”

    Memorise: As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. (Psalm 127:4)

    Don′t Kill A Wounded Soldier

  • When we correct someone just to show how righteous we are, we are attacking their self-esteem, adding to the weight of guilt hey already bear, and making it more difficult for them to come to Christ.
  • Unfortunately, many Christians use their superiority complex to hand their own brothers and sisters over to the devil.
  • If the wounded soldier get help from the enemy's camp, they may never return to their own camp again. This is why many backsliders keep going deeper into sin.
  • If a fellow believer falls, don't condemn the person. Don't turn such a person into an object of gossip, rather, geth other Christians together to pray and follow up on the fellow until he or she comes back to God. (Job 4:3-4)

    • “Show love to any believer you know that may require encouragement by calling or sending a message to say you will always be there for him or her.”

    Memorise: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)
