- Strategy 1 CURIOSITY
The first step to learn and master you mission is curiosity. If you are going to make an impact for the kingdom of God, you must start caring for people. What do you know about those you lead? What do you know about their physical origins? Information about their environment can tell you a lot about people. Learn 10 practical ways to practice curiosity...
- Strategy 2 SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity is to be tender towards and appropriately responsive to the attitudes, feelings, and plight of others. It is to feel toward others as we would have them feel toward us. Mother Teresa prayed, "May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in." Emotional dysregulation is a common problem in the workplace that must be addressed by the leader. Learn what it is and how to tackle it.
- Strategy 3 FAVOR
“Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29. The spirit of Nehemiah showcases a wonderful role model in work ethic. It could not be said of him that he was undisciplined and accomplished nothing but being a busybody. This work ethic got him a position working before the king. Many Christians beg God for or command favor but are oblivious or unwilling to put in the hard work that comes with it. Many want positions of authority or scads of money, not realizing that that form of favor brings with it truckloads of responsibility that one may not be prepared for. Discover 10 ways to earn favor.
- I
“We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all,” Oswald Chambers. Discover 10 things that Nehemiah invoked and pray powerfully and effectively.
- Strategy 5 DISCIPLINE & SELF-CONTROL
This refers to bringing to a state of order and obedience by training and control. Some people have a high discipline quotient and have trained themselves highly. Others have a low discipline quotient and are slovenly about vital matters. Despite his deep grief, the spirit of Nehemiah ensured he showed up for work and did his job. I love that little line that he had not been sad in the king’s presence before. Nehemiah kept a tight rein on his emotions. He knew where they belong and where they do not. He went to work to work and focused on his job no matter what was going on in his personal life. Explore 5 ways to nurture discipline and self-control.
- Strategy 6 BOLD & COURAGEOUS
It challenges me that we can experience these intense and sometimes debilitating experiences and press through and past them to be effective in our purpose. Our mission is bound to be daunting because it is so much bigger than us. Boldness and courage do not mean we are not afraid or experiencing other emotions like sadness. Courage isn’t fearlessness. Courage means we believe in something greater than our fear. Learn the role of the fear of the Lord in all this .
- Strategy 7 COMPELLING COMMUNICATION
“Every act of communication is a miracle of translation,” says Ken Liu. Communication is an integral part of your mission. The essence of communication is to say the right thing, in the right way, at the right time. It is a skill that must be learned and honed throughout a lifetime. It will deeply affect all aspects of your life for better or for worse. The book of Proverbs is replete with admonitions regarding communication.
