Below is some of the notes from CHCKL. After reading Psalm 119, took down some points...especially when i read some of my friend's blog.
Its a bit messy but somehow its all helping me.
King David's attitude: Always wanted God to teach him His command. He obeys God.
He always thinks of God's teaching whenever he faces
problem.
He put God's teaching first. He rejoices over God's teaching
as wise.
He's confident of whom he is in God. Psalm 119 is instead a long and yet portraying King David's personal attitude of who he really was.
Becoming a Leader - the first you need to lead is yourself. To lead others, use ur heart. To lead urself, use your head.
2 Chor 26:1 - simple principle whenever i seek God, trust God and do the work of God, He will make me success.
2 Chor 26:6-8 - one thing he did right and he was made famous way to the border of Egypt.
2 Chor 26:9-15, 16-22, 23 however it all stopped when he did something very wrong.
how to be a leader in the eyes of God?
1) as a leader, a leader obeys.
whenver they hear God, they just wait.
by first obeying the voice of God.
our obedience determine the extend of our calling. how much i want to be used by
God is depends on my obedience.
Your life will only shines when you obey(=start pedalling on a bicycle). God will start changelle you in the first place. Every calling of God is step by step.
Learn to take small obedience steps.
blind obedience is driven by fear. bible obedience requires faith.
2) A leader is willing.
Isa 1:19
An unwilling usher is an usher without a smile.
An unwilling security is a sercurity hidding from the rain.
Always ready, Always with a cheerful heart.
An unwilling person has millions of excuses to find the reason. the willing hearted find the ways, the time n resources to solve.
The willing say yes.
The willing has energy. releasing energy.
The willing does the job well. they don find shortcut.
A patience person is a willing person. Patience is a show of good workmanship.
The willing battle on even if they sick or circumstances is against them.
They believe even when others say impossible. Faith comes into the heart of willing.
how to spot the unwilling?
1) slow in respond.
2) constantly unavailable.
3) nowhere to be seen.
4) always falling sick.
3) a LEADER is not meant to be perfect.
u don have to be perfect before God for HIm to use you.
why are pp used by God but some of them are discarded?
1) Attitude problem
-emotion of person; emtoinal reaction. internal struggle within them. they knw their problem, their weakness. sometimes they r strong, sometimes they r weak.
-usually retifiable. knw when it will come out. if left unattented will led to character flaw.
2) character flaw
- its a decided reaction. its rooted down inside. its integrsted into the system.
pride n not having intergrity is a flaw.
1 Peter 5:5 got to learn to humble myself to serve God. not a feel but chose to be humble.
