Direction Without Depending on Google Searches or AI

I want to know God’s will so I can follow it, don’t you? However, as Faith Leaders, we must be cautious about seeking only easy, crystal-clear answers without investing the necessary effort. When someone offers you a million-dollar return on a dollar investment, you should probably back away because “something for nothing” is usually risky and not God’s way. So, how do you know whether that property is the one for your ministry or whether you should invest in stocks, mutual f

Three Leadership Lessons from the Apostle Paul

All the Faith Leaders mentioned in the New Testament were mighty men and women of God. However, none of them, except the Lord Jesus, were infallible. They were highly anointed and committed to following Jesus regardless of personal cost, but they weren’t perfect. Sometimes they didn’t do what they should have done, but I’m sure we can all relate because, like them, none of us is perfect either. Still, we can learn a lot from their leadership lessons. So, let’s consider just t

Being a Child of God and Leading Children to God

Faith Leaders should always remember their primary role in the body of Christ.

Beginning with the End Isaiah 46:10 shows that God declares the end from the beginning, making it a

Getting the Help You Need

When I started my ministry, my whole team was just my wife and me. Before I asked her to marry me, I made sure she understood that God had called me to preach His Word. I believed my main role would be as an international missionary, so I wanted to know she was willing to go wherever God led me. She didn’t hesitate for a second. If she had, I might not have asked her to marry me. But she quickly said she would go wherever God guided and do whatever He commanded. I knew she wa

Flourishing with Fresh Oil

The weeks can feel long, and the days may seem very short for a Faith Leader with a divine assignment. It’s important to be well-educated and prepared for whatever God has assigned to you. However, completing the assignment requires more; the most essential thing you need is the anointing. Do you understand what the anointing is and how it functions? What can you do when you feel tired, worn down, and ready to give up? The answer is to do what Paul told Timothy: stir up the g
