CHARACTERISTIC OF A DEDICATED LEADER (pt 1)

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: CHARACTERISTIC OF A DEDICATED LEADER (pt 1)

Text: Acts 6:1-7

I. A LEADER IS A COMMITTED CHRISTIAN
1) A Changed Mind:
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:38).

2) A Clean Heart “
…Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…” Baptism is the outward expression of an inward cleansing. That cleansing only comes through faith in the Savior who shed His blood for the remission of sins.

3) A Controlled Will: “
…ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”
This receiving of the Spirit is more than just a quickening to life: it means handing over the reins of one’s life to the indwelling of the Spirit. All this had happened to Philip. That is why he was a committed Christian and a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, our churches are filled with members who “have never left the ground.” They have been sitting there for years and years. They are always “prepping,” getting ready. They are going to get busy. They have been planning on it, meaning to, wanting to, trying to, going to, aiming to, hoping to. But they have never left the ground!

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS. GIVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT, WISDOM AND SPIRIT OF HONESTY TO BE A GOOD LEADER IN JESUS NAME.
