Passage to memorizePsalm 86: 9-12

Teach me your way O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name. I will praise you o Lord my God with all my heart; I will glorify

your name forever.



Human leaders can find refuge in God’s absolute leadership

• 1. The Lord is a mighty protector.• 2. The Lord is an effective Equipper.• Psalm 18: 1-29 describes the tangible

benefits of living according to his truth.



See the leader as a • Shepherd (23:1) • Guide/counsellor (48:14)• Disciplinarian (50:16-21)• Provider (72:6)• Creator/innovator (95:5)• Worker/producer (107:37)• King (20:9)



God is calling us to live

from His set of values and

ethicsEthics supply the foundation for our

values.Values supply the power that drives

our leadership.



Work ethic. Eph 6: 5-9• We are not to be people pleasers.• Render service as though we are

working for God.• Not only does God watch, but he

rewards anything good we do.• People may forget how fast you did

your last job, but they will remember how well you did it.



Efficiency minus ethics equals emptiness

• Leaders who fall morally do not lead anyone to a better place.

• The higher the leader goes, the deeper his character must develop.

• The larger the outward privilege, the larger the inward character must be.

• Character represents the inner life of a leader.



Prayer Focus• Father, In the name of Jesus, I

surrender myself to walk in the Word. Your word living in me produces the Life in this world.

• The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. It makes my way plain before me.

• I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God! Amen

Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do

what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)



Learning, application and commitment

• One of the Biblical truths (principles) that I have learned from this lesson was …

• I intend to apply this truth (principle) in my business/Ministry by: …..

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will begin applying this truth immediately. I ask and expect my group to hold me accountable for this and to check with me periodically to determine if I am doing so. Please ask me …..



Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
