Welcome to MFM Devotional, 07~~~12~~~23
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Amos 1 Amos 2; Hebrews 7, Hebrews 8
PRAISE & WORSHIP:
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
O God Arise! Make me a useful, reliable and dynamic eader, in the name of Jesus.
To be a good leader, you must be prepared to be tolerate, endure critism, be ready and be humble to learn from the people.
MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 25:23
His Lord said unto him, Well done good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A great leader inspires you to be what you know you could be and gives you the courage to pursue your dreams.
7~~~12~~~ 23 PROPHETIC WORD:
Receive the courage and inner drive to pursue and achieve your dreams, in, the name of Jesus.
FIRE SCRIPTURE Matthew 25:14-23
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.
15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.
17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
07~~~12~~~23 MESSAGE:
The third essential ingredient for effective leadership is motivation. Leaders are called to positively influence and motivate people that follow them or work with them. People generally are inspired by a leader’s personality, example and accomplishments.
Motivation is the reason you do what you do. It is the reason you are doing the job you are employed to do presently.
It creates a willingness to expand energy to achieve a goal or a reward. For example, people are motivated to serve God for different reasons. For some, it is the desire to enjoy the love of God and their passion for souls. For some, it is the desire to make heaven, and for some other people, it is the desire to have prosperity.
Good leaders motivate others by imparting enthusiasm in them and causing them to take effective action. They also encourage them to get involved in doing things that will lead to the fulfilment of their team’s set goals.
Good leaders rarely use threat, force or coercion.
Beloved, as a leader, it is your responsibility to find out what motivates each member of your team and use those things to inspire them. Remember that people have the following needs: physiological needs, safety, material belonging (family, church, sports club, alumni association, etc.), esteem, and purpose in life. Leaders should go out of their way to encourage their subordinates to experience self-esteem and purpose in life through Christ!
The Bible encourages motivation. Jesus, our role model, exemplified motivation in leadership. In Matthew 25:23, He said, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the lord.”
Similarly, in the Revelation 2 and 3, where He addressed the seven churches, He, on several occasions, commended them for the good things they had done.
Though God has built some needs into us, He is able to fulfil them. Therefore, He is the greatest of all motivators. A leader’s task is to help others find their purpose for living and as a result fulfil all of their deepest needs.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Father. You are my Chief Motivator, inspire me to succeed in leadership, in the name of Jesus.
2. Spirit of discouragement and despair, I am not your candidate, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, give me an undying reason and motivation to serve You to the end, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. Father, use me to help others find their purposes in life and fulfil them, in the name of Jesus.
5. Father, make me faithful servant on the last day, in the name of Jesus.
6. I silence any storm that wants me to fail in life, in the name of Jesus.
7. Father, make me a great team builder and not a tear destroyer, in the name of Jesus.
