Learning from Jesus’ Example
Luke 2:41- 52
-I encourage you to be hungry and thirsty for the things of God even if it includes fasting and praying
-Go to a meeting where when it’s done you can say “this was God….Hallelujah…”
-I encourage you to have a teacher in your life; teachers are necessary in you lives- people who can counsel in the aspects of life (career, academic, spiritual growth, proper way to marry etc.) and maturity, someone to rely on, a man or woman of God, someone who knows the Word of God
-You need to be able to listen. God speaks to people who listen. BE A GOOD LISTENER (be sensitive, attentive and hear)
**That’s why you have one mouth and two ears**
-Learn to sit down and listen; ask questions (it’s a good sign that you are a leader: you want to know). You will be able to come to a level of understanding (above knowing)
Psalms 1
-Be slow to answer back, quick to listen
-Sow your energy in the things of God; be busy in GOD’S BUSINESS!
-Don’t expect everyone to understand you; not everyone will understand you
-Some of you will never succeed as leaders in the things of your lives until you learn to be subject to others/be able to submit to authority (Pastors etc.)/ to be under leadership
-Like Jesus, may we grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
