Qualities of a great leader

 - Tactically Aggressive (loves a good fight)

Ephesians 6 having done everything to fight, stand and then keep standing. Gird up, strap up, load up, step up and step out. Be aggressive and loving.

 

In the gym last week. a young kid wanting to talk to me AGAIN… but I challenged him do you know where you are going when you die? He kept changing the topic, I kept challenging him to answer the question.

 

 - Strength of Character 

1 Peter 3:16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander

 

 - Steadiness of purpose 

Matthew 28:19 Go and Make Disciples

Go - aorist - continually

Make - aorist - continually

We are to continually make disciples in all we do, wherever we go, whomever we talk to AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT. 

 

*you know your purpose - now go do it!

 

 - Acceptance of Responsibility

God expects us to take responsibility for our actions—

Don’t shirk, don’t blame, don’t whine, don’t complain, don’t point fingers, don’t bring excuses

take responsibility for your life.

He aids those who do (Proverbs 28:13). 

AND Every human being will have to give an account for his or her life and actions AND GUESS WHAT… excuses won’t cut it. (Galatians 6:4-5; Hebrews 4:13).

 

 - Energy

Now I am not sure exactly what Patton meant by this… but for me knowing and watching the men who make the biggest difference in the world for Jesus they have an energy beyond just physical. They have a calling that they understand, a purpose that drives them in the morning when they get up.

My energy comes from my purpose and my calling. 

My purpose is to Seek first the Kingdom of God and all his righteousness 

My calling is to reach as many people for Christ as possible… guess what - these are your purpose and calling as well. 

Now my mission is built around my place as a pastor, my time at the gym - in and around my network…

And finally to do this as an example to my family. 

 

 - Good health and strength
