The lowest form of leadership is positional leadership. Just because you have been placed in charge of a ministry doesn’t make others automatically follow you. If you want others to follow you, you must win or earn their confidence. Volunteers won’t follow you just because you have a title they must feel that you are worth following because you are good for the organization.

Here my top ten list to win the confidence of the volunteers you lead.

#1 Believe in yourself. No one wants to follow an insecure leader. At the same time you can put too much confidence in yourself. I know lots of Children’s Ministry leaders “I’d like to buy them for what they are worth & sell them for what they think their worth.” The key here is to be confident that Jesus has called you to be a leader. #2 Be upbeat and not discouraged or overwhelmed. Here’s some advice I’ve learned the hard way. Things are never as bad as you think, & you are not as wonderful as you think you are either. Be passionate and enthusiastic. Remember Nehemiah 8:10… the joy of the Lord is your strength.” If the task is too big for you, don’t let anyone know that, no one wants to rally around a defeated leader. #3 Carry yourself like a winner. Always look your best and dress for success. Know how to clean up well when you need to and don’t be silly. #4 identify your present leadership level. How would rate yourself as a leader? How would your volunteers rate your leadership? If you are a five, sevens and eights can’t look up to you. You must grow as a leader. Ask yourself these four simple questions and your on your way to your next level. What level are you now? Where do you want to be? What do you need to do? What steps can you take to begin? #5 Become a student of leadership and keep growing in your abilities. Always be reading. Listen to leadership teaching and mentors. Discuss what you are reading & learning with others leaders. Ask questions from people your recognize as an excellent leader. #6 Be an example of Godly Character 1Tim. 4:12 tells us “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. Being an example will cause you to be someone worth following regardless of your age or experience. #7 Have your family in order. 1Tim. 3:5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) #8 Earn the confidence of the level of leadership above you. If those above you believe in you it will speak volumes to the volunteer. #9 Set the example of hard work. People who work hard always get my attention and respect! #10 Bear fruit. The more good changes and right decisions you make will cause everyone to see the benefits of your leadership. No one can argue with fruit and accomplishments.

The Battleship And A Lighthouse “Disclaimer, i have had this for many years, i do not know the original author, but if any one does, let me know so that i can add his (her) name” In the darkest part of the night, a ships captain cautiously piloted his warship through the fog-shrouded waters. With straining eyes he scanned the hazy darkness, searching for dangers lurking just out of sight. Then His worst fears were realised when he saw a bright light straight ahead. It appeared to be a vessel on a collision course with his ship. To avert disaster he quickly radioed the oncoming vessel. “This is Captain Jeremiah Smith,” his voice crackled over the radio. “Please alter your course 10 degrees south! Over.” To the captains amazement, the foggy image did not move. Instead, he heard back on the radio, “Captain Smith. This is Private Thomas Johnson. please alter your course 10 degrees north! Over.” Appalled at the audacity of the message, the captain shouted back over the radio, “Private Johnson, this is Captain Smith, and I order you to immediately alter your course 10 degree south! Over.” A second time the oncoming light did not budge. “With all due respect Captain Smith,” came the privates voice again, “I order you to alter your course immediately 10 degrees north! Over.” Angered and frustrated that this impudent sailor would endanger the lives of his men and crew, the captain growled back over the radio, “Private Johnson. I can have you court-marshalled for this! For the last time, I command you on the authority of the United States government to alter your course 10 degrees to the South! I am a battleship!” The privates final transmission was chilling: “Captain Smith, sir. Once again with all due respect, I command you to alter your course 10 degrees to the North! I am a lighthouse!” Many of us in todays world have little respect for authority. We operate as if rules can be changed (or should be) changed to fit our personal needs and desires. Commercials egg us on: “Have it your way,” “Rules are made to be broken.” In reality, we cant always have it our way. We have to conform our lives to a higher truth, a higher authority. Truth is not going to change to accommodate us. We are the ones who must change to conform our lives to whats true.

A Letter From Satan

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don’t love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I’m going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.

You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I’m going to make your life a living hell. That way we’ll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I’m really showing Him who’s boss in your life. With all of the good times we’ve had, we have been watching dirty movies, cursing people, out partying, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, indulging in fornication, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, back-stabbing people, disrespecting adults and those in leadership position, NO respect for the church, bad attitudes: SURELY you don’t want to give all this up. Come on, Fool, let’s burn together forever. I’ve got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.

I’d like to say “THANKS” for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and listen to and dance to the top 10 jams. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I’ll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It’s not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it’s becoming a bit ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate you…… IT’S JUST THAT YOU’D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.

PS - And if you really love me, you won’t share this letter with anyone.
