How Healthy is Your Soul?

At the core of who we are is our soul. Many have said that the soul houses the mind, will, and intellect of an individual. Because of the soul identifies who we are at our core, it is vitally important to maintain the health of our souls. God has an expectation for us to maintain spiritually healthy souls. In Ezekiel 18, God made clear to Ezekiel that children would no longer be impacted by their fathers’ “sour grapes” (decisions). An important distinction God made in Ezekiel was that ALL souls belong to Him, and each soul is accountable to the Father individually.

Luke 17:5 

The apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.–The form in which the fragment that thus commences is brought before us suggests, as has been stated before (see Notes on Luke 7:13; Luke 10:1), that it was a comparatively late addition to the collection of “the words of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 20:35), and this is confirmed by the exceptional use of “the Apostles” for “the disciples.” It may have stood originally in an absolutely isolated form. On the other hand, its position here indicates a sufficiently traceable sequence. That command of a seven-fold–i.e., an unlimited–forgiveness seemed to make almost too great a strain on their faith. Did it not imply an almost miraculous victory over natural impulses, that could be wrought only by a supernatural grace? Was not the faith that could “remove mountains” wanted, if ever, here–a faith in the pardoning love of the Father, and in their own power to reproduce it? And so, conscious of their weakness, they came with the prayer that has so often come from the lips of yearning, yet weak, disciples of the Christ–reminding us of him who cried, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (see Note on Mark 9:24)–“Increase our faith.” May we not possibly think of Peter as having struggled to obey the rule which had been given to them before (Matthew 18:22), and as having found himself unequal to the task?

 

Principles of Leadership:

Leaders understand the value of solitude.

Leaders spend lots of time alone.

Leaders understand that times of quiet are vital in life.

In the quiet we receive a clear vision from God.

We will never have the vision and the power amidst the noise and clatter of this world … we must get alone w/ God!

A leader sees more in the night than others see in the light.

Leaders understand the importance of solitude.

Leaders patiently gather all the facts.

Leaders don’t rush into a project ill prepared.

Before you can lead you have to learn. Leaders make a mess of things when they try to lead w/out doing their homework.

Nobody seems to have the time to do it right, but everybody finds the time to do it over. “Measure twice, cut once!”

Leaders keep their eye on the big picture.

Micromanagers and control freaks wear out and break down quickly!

Leaders carefully choose their words.

The cry of people today is, “Show me how to live my life.” Give me meaning and understanding in this crazy world in which I live.” Godly Biblical preaching has to do with communicating the Word of God as truth, understood and applied. That will convict the sin-sick soul of his need for God. It will instruct the believer in the ways of righteousness. And it will never return to the Lord void!

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2).

Good medical care is priceless—but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need doctors anymore? Well, did you know there is a proven way to put a lot of doctors out of work? … Take care of your body! Scientists have sounded the alarm about cholesterol, tobacco, stress, obesity, and alcohol, so why press your luck? God truly cares how you treat your body, and He’s given you a free health plan to go by—the Bible!

In Romans 15:2 (MSG), Paul admonishes his readers that “strength is for service, not status.” Without question…strong words that are so very much needed today!!
As we pursue excellence in servant leadership, we realize that models, methodologies and strategies in and of themselves fall woefully short if we are not walking in godly integrity, Christlike character, transparency & authenticity wrapped in humility.
So what does this really look like? How do we exemplify it before a watching world, before those that we serve in ministry and more importantly, at home before our families?
To help us embrace the topic of “The Heart Of A True Leader”, the Men of Faith Network is delighted to have Dr. Jeff Hubing and the Men of Faith Network President, Fredrick K Ezeji-Okoye as they share what God has downloaded into their hearts. Mark your calendar & join us. Yes, there is a word from the Lord!!!

Will Rogers was attributed to have said that “even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” This was the essence of God’s conversation with Adam when He posed the question, “Adam, where are you?”. Not an issue of his physical proximity, God was inquiring about the posture of Adam’s heart. So it is with us!!
As we look to build upon the incredible ministry of our March Monthly Fellowship, the Men of Faith Network keep the momentum going as we are so honored to have Pastor John Hannah in the house as he addresses the very relevant issue of being “On Track” in our relationship with God.

One fellowship you don’t want to miss!

** Ignite the Fire, Sustain the Fire, Use the Fire
Passion: strong and barely controllable emotion.

What are you passionate about? What drives the things you do? Each of us is moved by desires, inspiration, and necessity. But what about the fire of God in us? How much of what we do is motivated by the plans and will of God? Our passion actually has power to fuel our works!

Join us March 24th to hear with Minister Rick Landry and Pastor Otis Burns will share with us. Monthly gatherings at MOFN are a great use of your time.

“If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” ~Bishop T.D. Jakes

See you Saturday, March 24th!
