4 questions to ask ourselves as Leaders/Pastors

Exodus 24:

o If you don’t have leadership that is on fire you can’t expect your church to be on fire
o I am ready to quit; STAY IN THE GAME; if you have not been there, u will

• Who is with ME??

Moses the man of God needed to know the answer. Moses said to God, before I can lead, I must know who is with me.

Lead Pastor; average stay of Pastors in churches is 22 months; you are a church hopper as a Pastor. If you want people to buy into you, then you must buy into them.

Love your staff. You might go to another church and work but you will never have a pastor love you as much as I do.

Satan does not want to split your church, he wants to split your staff. Don’t say, I do as much as he does.

Pastors carry a weight on him you can never imagine.

Your staff is depending on me to: be faithful to my wife, carry the finances & get the vision.

You have got to know who is with ME???

Am I pleasing you??

We must know this because Pastors will be put in uncomfortable situations

Pastors we are Prophets of God; or are we Prostitutes of a message that we speak to get paid for it.

Church work is when you please people

Ministry is when you please God

We depend way to much on our ability instead of God’s anointing

Don’t blame yourself when things are bad, you might take credit when things are good.

God knew all mistakes we would make before He called us. He calls those

If Jesus can’t please them then you can’t either.

Am I placing limits on me that God hasn’t placed on me?

2 Corinthians 4:7…God most often puts His most powerful gifts in His most weakest vessel
What is the vision you have not even spoke yet, because you are afraid it will not happen. He has empowered you, enabled you, His power is limitless

Will we see you??
If your presence does not go with us, we don’t want to go….Moses...Exodus 33:15-18
Do you want attendance or repentance.
Don’t back down from bible.
You must first seek the presence of God
When was the last time you were desperate for God

What is next??
CLC began with 6 people in a living room
April 9th, 2003 had 55; 6 years later we have 335 people; Sunday we are expecting 50 Salvations
Ask God what is next. At the end of the day, we want people to see how awesome God is.
Quit thinking people come to see you or your church. Let them see God and him lifted up.
#1 passion of the pastor/church must be, we want the Presence of God.
Your team will never know the weight the pastor feels, but he will carry it for you, because he wants to carry the ball.
Pastors, be ready to carry the ball. You have to want it if you want your people to want it.
