Good morning everyone. Second part of my article will now here …..
Rick Warren, in his book A Purpose Driven Church, tells us to not ask the question “Why is the church not growing,” but to ask, “What is causing the church to not grow.” Whenever we get our thinking on the right path, the church will begin to grow and mature. Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” (1 Cor. 3:6)
If you think you can have harmony amongst your leadership, you can.
Always strive for unity among the leadership team of your church. There will be times of disagreement regarding certain issues, but you can have these disagreements and still maintain unity among your leaders. The Devil will target leadership teams in an effort to bring the whole church down. Knowing this, make it a priority to pray and fast over your leadership team and always think positively concerning them.
● “Great things will happen with our team.”
● “Great results will occur in our meetings.”
● “We will maintain harmony and unity among our brothers and sisters.”
If you think positively, positive things will happen.
It’s as easy as that. Positive thinking produces positive results. However, negative thinking produces negative results as well. It’s time to get rid of the negative mindset that most have. It’s easy to be negative. It’s easy to find the worst in any situation. Anyone can do that. But, we need spiritual leaders and pastors who recognize where we live and what’s going on around us, but still believe in the awesome power of our God! Don’t be afraid to start that new project or that new program in your church because of past failures. You will never hit the target if you stop shooting!
It’s time to have a checkup from the neck up and get rid of stinking thinking!
Finally, bretheren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8)
