Keys to Becoming a Leader- Dr. Myles Munroe

it's hard to come out of his presence as you will be reading from perverts the 16 chapter one through nine look at the person to your left and to your right and say it's finished it's finished [Music] the preparations of the heart belongs to man but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord all the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes but the Lord ways is the spirit commit your works to the Lord you know this word commit here is the Hebrew word ngahau it's like rolling away a stone said you can get the refreshing of what God has to offer you commit those things that you're struggling with to the Lord is another way to say it and he'll refresh you and your thoughts will be established the Lord has made all for himself yes even the wicked for the day of doom everyone proud in his heart is an abomination to the Lord - they joke though they joined forces none will go unpunished in mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity and by the fear of the Lord one depart from evil when a man's ways please the Lord he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him better is a little with righteousness than vast revenues without justice a man's heart planned a man's heart plans his ways but the Lord directs his steps amen amen let us pray father it was your amazing love that brought us back that purchased us you've said in your word that God but because we love you you protect us your keepers God as we celebrate you this season we thank you for the blood that was shared for us and we thank you for the crown of thorns that you wore so that God that the stripes on our back on your back would heal our bodies God that nothing is impossible with you and because of you we live we thank you that greater is He that is in us and he that is in the world and that God that there is no good thing that you will ever hold withhold from us because we intend to walk uprightly we thank you that you covered us with your blood in that God you have set before as good and evil but God yo where it says choose God and we with good and we will live we thank you that you placed a covering around us and you've built a hedge about us that God even asked sleep can be sweet because your worry declare that he better is in perfect peace their minds have stayed on you the Father we ask that you would never leave us and you've confirmed it in your word that you will never go or forsake us and so we thank you now and give you praise we thank you for the speaker God even nowadays as he's meditating God your word is coming alive in his spirit and and that God is going through to the media that that's watching right now and affecting those in Africa and in Middle East and in Asia and in South America and the Caribbean we're releasing now your anointing and your power to cover the earth like the waters cover the Seas and so father we give you praise because your word is clear and you've anointed him for this and so we give you thanks and Jesus saying amen and amen come on someone say praise the Lord you know I I am excited about what is happening here in between balance wage ministries and you know someone asks me today if you still go in the Bombers rate ministry as a job and he said oh why and I said well you know because I remember walking into a Roman Bell moral a couple of years ago and and my postures story has never changed and yes there are some people who are saying

pleased with the tremendous leadership of our own people here to accommodate not only our guests and our honorees but also all of our visitors and I'm very pleased with the Lord helping us to accomplish our goal and you'll be hearing a lot more about that once on Sunday welcome to all of our friends who are joining us thank you all for coming we got a lot of folks who are coming in and of course we get thousands watching us around the world on television tonight I'd like you to get your Bible and your notebooks we're going to talk about leadership on this beautiful evening Venice day here in the Bahamas but those are you visiting us our theme this year is a very practical theme and that is kingdom leadership and transforming society and when we received this mandate one of the things that struck me was if you're going to transform something you have to engage it you cannot change which you avoid you cannot impact what you do not encounter you cannot effect which you do not touch and so we are committed this year to being involved and engaged in everything that's going on in our country in order to transform society you have to also be in a position of influence write that word down please you cannot bring transformation if you are not the influence so the the mandate this year automatically requires that we learn about leadership and our book that we are using for Studies on Wednesday evenings is a book entitled becoming a leader I am requiring that all of our leaders read this book all of you who are attending and invited to study it with us because we're using this book as the foundation for our studies in this series however I want to recommend a few other books to you one is called the power vision the other is called in charge which we're going to talk a little bit about tonight how to become in control of your environment and it begins with becoming in control of yourself and those two books on a recommend to you strongly and they are available for you in the bookstore here and also online for those who are watching you go to our website and you can order those books and we ship them to you right away I also want to recommend the book the spirit of leadership and authority all of these have to do with discovering your leadership passion I believe the most important book I would have written would have been the book passing it on for leaders because no matter how great your leadership may have been if it doesn't survive you then you are a failure so leadership is not about just what you do leadership is really about what others do after you are finished this book deals with succession how to transfer your leadership influence to the next generation and to mentor people and train them to become a better leader than yourself so that is what our focus is on this particular book I want you to write down our topic tonight is going to continue on from what you would have received from the session that we did the last two sessions myself and pastor Richard Pinder and I want you to write this down keys to becoming a leader this weekend of course is a big weekend in the church good Friday is a big day for us here we meet at 10 o'clock and we're going to be focusing on the theme is the price the price what price had to be paid by the King to redeem the citizens and so Good Friday at 10 o'clock we're going to be meeting here we like to invite all of you who are visiting us to be with us we'll also be having our global communion service on Good Friday so we get thousands will be joining us in communion that day breaking the bread and the wine together reminding us of the death of Jesus and then on Easter Sunday morning is our resurrection service at 10 o'clock and of course we'll be celebrating the empty tomb thank God the victory over death has been accomplished and it makes me unafraid of death so we have all of these exciting things this weekend you don't want to miss a single segment now I mentioned to you why we have to study leadership it's because if you're going to influence society you must be the leader in that area and when we talk about leadership one of the things that we are running into from time to time is a historical problem we are all suffering from mis-education we have been educated right out of our own self we have been trained to not trust ourselves we've been conditioned not to believe ourselves and we've been specially brainwashed to never know ourselves and this is a reality in our region that's because our history is a history of oppression oppression is designed to devalue the oppressed oppressions goal is to break the spirit of the oppressed what does one mean when one says break your spirit this concept of breaking the spirit of person means that you you control their thinking until they surrender that's breaking in a spirit as long as somebody is willing to fight their spirit is not broken but when a person surrenders to the context or the environment or to the powers-that-be and decide I'm not fighting anymore I have to accept what is that person's spirit is broken and of course the oppressor has succeeded this has happened to us in the Caribbean most of us hate to admit it don't want to even know it and the saddest part of it is we are suffering from it and don't know broken spirits so we have come to agree with the history of oppression that we are not capable of leadership and that leadership is only reserved for an elite group of people who are definitely different from we are and they are chosen somehow by the gods to be superior to us and so we have surrendered to that context and they even remind us to read my lips stay in your place you know your place they say this concept is real it still is real in your country right now we don't talk about it matter of fact I sense it many times myself because I travel throughout this area of the world there are people who would assume that I sit second class many times my wife and I would walk up to the airport in some airports and and they call her for his class and we step up and the person would repeat I said for his class and the implication is you cannot be fourth class on an aircraft going from here to Zurich Switzerland at the assumption they look at my pigmentation and they assume I think you misunderstood the announcement they say well that happens here in your hotels in your banks your insurance companies if they're happening where people wonder what are you doing here problem is you and I have accepted that unconsciously so when we talk about rehabbing a leadership series most of the people stay home because they are still controlled by the oppressive idea that leadership is only for a an elite group of people who are specially gifted I Who am just a normal person average person that is not for me this is a safe satanic concept that you're thinking because the entire reason why you were created is leadership I've been trying to convince you of that for 29 years and some of you still don't believe me because I myself too was trapped by the same misconception above me I almost believed them until one day I was introduced to myself and that introduction came from God the Creator he introduced me to my self a self I never knew as a matter of fact when I met myself I was afraid of me because that was not the self they told me existed as a matter of fact they told me don't ever think of yourself as that self you are not that and so I battled this this demon of self-devaluation self-humiliation self cancellation what a battle you face and this has been the plight of all third world people whether they are spanish-speaking whether they are french-speaking whether they Portuguese speaking whether they are Filipinos or Mexicans whether they are from the Far East wherever there has been a history of oppression in which for taking the form in most countries of colonialism this battle goes on and our problem is we've ignored so long we think we are normal so I want to talk to you for a few minutes about how to become yourself how to become the leader that you were born to be but I want this as like my second segment on keys to discovering your personal leadership I'm not talking about leading people first because you can lead people until you know who you are all of my approaches to leadership training has to do with you first you don't need a position you need a disposition you don't need power you need to be empowered and so the problem really is not about people not following you the problem is you ain't worth following yet because you don't even know who you are leadership is therefore first personal then its public this is the reason why we must first deal with personal leadership this goes for children and for teenagers and for adults we all have to discover ourselves I want to begin with a statement look at this picture like this picture first of all leaders are interesting people the difference between a boss and a leader is a boss always says go do that but a leader always says let's go and do that and there's a big difference between the two goals leaders don't say go over the cliff they say follow me and then they jump they lead you into the unknown because they've seen the unknown it is called vision so leaders are always initiators most of the people in the Caribbean and in Central America and South America are timid they call us passive passivity is the result of training it's not natural to be passive it is not natural to be timid you are trained to be timid your culture has trained you to not express yourself to not bend your thoughts matter of fact one of the ways they taught you it is like this you ought to be seen and not heard sounds familiar that is from our history so the slave and the maid and the servant would be a now you won't even know they're there you'll see them once in a while movie they are to be seen our whole countries are like that now how dare you question America is it you are to be seen in the Caribbean but not heard we don't want to hear your opinion about anything we will tell you what you will do that's spirit has produced a people who are so passive that they never make things happen they watch things happen what a tragedy that must change now you know who you are if you don't change that now your children will be victims of other people's initiatives it's time for you to jump until everybody in life I'm not waiting anymore write this down leaders don't wait if you are a leader you're always willing to jump first and sometimes you're not sure what's at the bottom you know but you're confident in your capacity to fly or swim it's bigger than your fear of what's at the bottom which means that your belief is in yourself not the bottom that's where leadership begins talk a little bit about where this leadership lies this is from one of my books this is from my heart deeply embedded in the nature of man is the spirit of rulership and leadership Authority I'm convinced of that deep inside every one of you in your nature is the spirit of leadership I am sure of that now most people will die as followers we know that but all of them carry with them in their human DNA the spirit of leadership many times it may surface at different moments and because of your cultural training you buried quickly we call it giving you piece of my mind that's your leadership showing up but you are trained to suppress it you are conditioned to never resist anything be nice cooperate be submissive these words they have trained you to believe them but inside of you there is a a natural inclination to lead but we have been almost harnessed like a horse where they have placed certain things in our lives that that that administer pain if the Googler 9 they come by threat they come by intimidation they come by instilling fear in you if you do certain things like losing your job if you resist something they got these pressure points like a horse you know you control the horse by pain when you put that stirrup in that horse's mouth another bridle I push the horse and you pull it when you put it as reach the hospital ha students to stop the hurt that means you're not controlling the horse the horse is responding to pain and that's what they've done with humans they the culture has put a bridle in your life which tells you don't go in that direction we will give you pain my hope is that before this series is over you will by yourself spit the bridle out but you will regain your natural stallion spirit anybody feel that in the mind that's what I want to see I want people to capture themselves and say wow this is me as a struggle we have to deal with in in one of my books entitled the sprit of leadership I give you two definitions one is called the spirit of leadership and the other one is called the leadership spirit they are different it took me years to understand that but the leadership spirit is what you are born with but the sprit of leadership you have to learn so everyone has the first one the leadership spirit but for you to become the leader that you have you have to also capture the spirit of leadership which has to do with a conversion of your belief system about yourself and that's your problem they have told you what to believe about yourself whoever they are community culture educational system parents community leaders politics they have convinced you of who they want you to think you are because if you ever discover yourself you become uncontrollable and this is the challenge the spirit of leadership means that inside of you is a follower trapped in a leader so here's a statement I want you to write down you were born to lead but you must become a leader this statement means that inside of you is a powerful person trapped hidden and you have to go through a process to manifest that person I'm not questioning whether the person exists what I'm concerned about is will we ever see her will we ever see him on the inside of you I consider leadership therefore like like a seed with a tree trapped inside every seed has a plant do you deny that no it's impossible so when you hurt when you when you hold a seed in your hand you are definitely unequivocally completely truthfully holding a tree and it's absolutely true the problem is the seed is a tree but it must go through a process to become what it already is am I getting this right in other words the the mango seed is already a mango tree but it is trapped and in order for the seed of the mango to become a mango tree which is itself it has to go through this process leadership is that way you were born with leadership on the inside no question about it but to become that you got to go through a process and that's why a class like this is important how do you make a mango seed become itself which is a mango tree with mangoes first you can still be planted second it has to have moisture third it must have some nutrition nutrients from the soil fourth it needs time fifth is usually hidden before exposed it won't just jump out and say you are a leader six it has to push through soil sometime to get a fight from the beginning to make it just to the surface then you need altra violent rays from the Sun to convert what you have into chlorophyll there has to be external input into your life not to create you but to germinate you my job as a teacher is to pour fertilizer and water and nutrient I'm going to get it make you leader I'm here to germinate what's already existing the soil doesn't create the tree the water does not create the tree the nutrients do not create the tree the tree already exists all these components do is they activate what's already present that's why you're not a leader yet because you've been in a toxic environment for the last thirty years of your life your classroom was poisoned your teachers will lie on top with a chemical even some of your parents was pollution it could be in your own house and you battle your neighborhood you got to fight through your friends that you grew up with because they don't want to become you gotta become who you are it already exists but you gotta become it that's why I am very careful about who I keep company with I'm very careful what kind of books I read I don't want to feed my chromosomes poison that's why I'm careful what kind of movies I go to see but all that foul language and bloody killing in other words when you discover what you carry in you become conscious about what you feed yourself [Applause] we just don't care where we are doing we just don't care what we eat and I'm talking about mentally we don't care who we are with with fertilising us whoever you listen to is fertilizing you and that can be a person or a TV show a book or an Internet program whatever it is if they're feeding you you are causing them to infect your hidden tree this is the challenge of leadership I mentioned to you that everybody was born to be a leader please write this down you were created to lead but not to lead people and this is a difficult concept when I teach it all over the world because your culture tells you to be a leader you need followers I disagree now don't get me wrong I used to believe that I was taught and the Chinese have a proverb I think that kind of reinforces it it says he who think he leadeth and half no one following is simply taking a walk so the Chinese proverb let me say it again the Chinese says he who think is he lead it and have no one following is simply taking a walk I used to believe that I don't believe that anymore first of all I don't believe you need followers to be a leader all great leaders in history I'm not my true leaders never saw it followers when a person seeks followers that is proof to me that they are not leaders they have Ingle problem they have self-concept problems they have self-esteem problems they need other people to give them value this is not leadership this is a disease it's law it's called low self-worth and then many of them in our nations with titles you were not created to lead people only to the point number to write it down you are created to lead in an area of gifting you were designed by the Creator to deliver a gift to your generation inside of you is something we need no one came to earth empty nobody do you know let's think about the mango seed again please the mango seed has in it a gift what is the gift in the mango seed can you tell me no not a tree the mind goes on the tree and those gifts are hidden in the mango seed the tree only exists in the seed to deliver the fruit I'm talking now you are a tree your gift is the fruit you were born to deliver to us now here's what's important man when you go to a mango tree filled with mangoes do you go there for the trees you're not amazing all that hard work that tree did grow in all them years pushing all these branches pushing on the leaves strengthening those myths working hard you ignore all of that you go only for what the gift you see when you pay your gift you don't need to look for followers they will find you so leadership is not about trying to find people to follow you remember I told you it's not about getting people to follow you it's about you discovering that you are a tree and that you do have a gift those two discoveries are dangerous because they suddenly set you free from people I discover something about food trees you know they never bring their food to you right they're not good see when you know your gift you don't need to promote it it promotes itself and they will seek you out when I was a boy in this island growing up there was a lady living behind our little house in the village called day in town she had so many food trees we only had two and when ours was empty ah that little boy so look at that fence ten times higher than us but the desire for those beautiful yellow and red mangoes took over our passions of the fence and suddenly the revelation that we can jump this fence becomes bigger than the fence itself we find ourselves achieving greatness we would leap over the fence and she had dogs in the yard it didn't matter the danger was not as strong as the desire say it that the danger was not as strong as a desire when people see your feet they will leap over other people the invitations I get from around the world I've never once in my life asked anyone to invite me anywhere when you develop your gift refine your gift first you gotta find it then refine it and during this series I'm going to teach you how to find it because then you are going to become the leader you were born to be which I know you are you're gonna have to discover what your gift is see if a mango tree decide one day it's going to be a banana plant the mango tree is used and some of y'all are trying to be something you are not now that's why nobody could find you at least a point number three write it down true leadership is born when your gift is discovered and you serve it to the world this is leadership leadership is being a servant of your gift to the world it doesn't mean to be a slave of people it needs to be a slave of your gift I'll just quote this now but we'll get back to it later in the series in the 20th chapter of Matthew when they were fussing over who was the leader you remember the fight they had among the disciples and and they were saying who's the greatest and I'm the greatest and I'm the greatest and who's the greatest and Jesus overheard them arguing about leadership and he said why do you want to be like the pagans who like to lord it over people in other words why do you think leadership is about controlling people and oppressing people and being in superior over people he said that's the way that the pagan philosophy is they need people he says they want to be great a leader he says you don't ever look for people he says become the servant of the people now we've become the grid is what servant find something to serve them you become great the greatest among you want to be the greatest among you it's the one who is serving everybody the question is what are you serving it's that gift we talking about you know do you know what makes a mango tree so attractive its gift are you with me so what makes you attractive is when you discover what I am carrying that the world needs as when you become dangerous oh I wish I could tell you how to steal when you know that what I got in the body has God the way I got it you become valuable become valuable this is why imitation always leads to being broke when you imitate people you'll always be broke let me ask you a question have you ever gone into a a store and saw an imitation bowl of fruit you've seen them they look just like the mangoes just like the origins they look just like the banana so some you even go anticipating that they are real have you ever done that oh can you tell me why do you touch them tell me why do you touch them you touch them because your brain triggers food so you go and touch it all of a sudden you're like it's plastic what do you do after that you put it down do you ever go back there that's why people avoiding you they come to you once they check to see if you are real and if you ain't got the real thing they're gone leadership why do people keep coming back to the real thing because they are getting nutrients from it don't be plastic don't be a cheap imitation of people this is why I flex my heart when I see our young people and our old people imitating people some of you have never in your life designed your own fashion think about it for a minute how come you never sat down with a pencil and drew a dress you want to do it you know why because you look at television you look at Beyonce and you decide to imitate this woman what's wrong with you so we have a fashion industry built on your lack of self-love as to D for you because you don't love yourself you need other people's clothing to make you feel valuable it's called fashion how come you are not producing fashion how come you are not leading the way of a kind of suit meant women should wear because we stuck with this no self-esteem and we try to get a steam from other people so by wear a certain brand we say then I am valuable and if you cannot afford the brand you are not valuable both people are sick your gift is what you serve leave meter number 4 the value in each human is the gift they were born to deliver to the humanity please write this down the value in each human is the gift they were born to deliver to humanity that's your value and by the way your value determines your wealth Steven Jobs was not seeking money he found his gift Bill Gates did not know he was going to become a world class leader he simply had a gift and he took the gift and serve it to the world and his wealth was a byproduct of the service so the question is what makes a person successful my answer is very simple making yourself valuable when you become valuable you receive work when you receive work people pay you to be yourself now so it makes a leader that's why I true leaders are never proud they never seek money they don't seek you know relationships or nothing they are so busy getting themselves that they make people want to be with them because people like to be with the real thing think about if a minute don't you hate to be around a fake cuz you ain't sure where they can be tomorrow but when you know who you are and you discovered what you have that make you valuable and therefore leadership is really not about people it's about self discovery that's the first step personal leadership write this down people are attracted not to you but to your gift you know some of y'all really think that I believe you all love me I'm too smart for it you know Jesus Doolittle also kids'll do that they didn't love Jesus the same people that shouted this very week two thousand years ago Hosanna blessed is he within three days they were the same people say crucify the brother why they loved his gift he healed my mother-in-law he gave us free fish and bread he stopped the storm so he could not drown he cleansed the leper who was my cousin he Cassidy not of my mother I mean all the stuff we like but we don't like him this is why you don't you don't eat the mango leaves you don't chew the mango back and you don't carry the limb home no you do you go there pick the fruit turn your back on the tree that's why you'll never catch me you will never catch me you none of y'all will ever catch Myles Munroe I know just why you come to me you love my gift I'm stupid so that protects me from being disappointed or emotionally scarred by your rejection so you can never really hurt the feelings of a true leader but I guess sake leaders who you know you hate that feeling fast they compromise but a true leader is not doing it to get your approval the leader is doing it because that is what they are they are mango trees and they serve mangoes be that way when you go to school you must not allow anyone to tell you to be like them people don't come to you they come to your gift this is why most Hollywood stars and music legends die depressed sick drug addicts poor and Brooke because they confused the fans love for their gift with their love for them they thought the fans loved them and the militant make a mistake the fact the fans sacrificed them Panama and they walk away saying I thought you loved me and so they start taking drugs to try and ease the pain me tell you something then coming to you sister they come in for your song for your song finish you better have your own him to hum to yourself do you understand leadership is not about trying to get people to like you leadership is about you committing yourself to serve the people no matter what and to serve them with dignity on the class its leadership my friends here's a young man his name is Tiger Woods I love this picture now let me take some Tiger Woods this week just came back you all know that right the guys on top again he's number one now do you think they like tiger oh you noted it like tagging I see that's why I use them as an example then in like Tiger they liked his gift and now he signed a contract again this week they say to him you never have another contract but the guy decided I may have a problem but my gift and go nowhere come on somebody one thing with a gift it never leaves you and you can abandon it he decided no I still got this gift and I'm gonna weather the storm I'm gonna make the right decisions I'm gonna confess my mistakes and my wrong and my sin I'm going to redeem the time I'm going to put my energy back in this I'm gonna fight through all the criticism and all the hurt and the pain and degradation and all the stuff they say above me I'm gonna still come on that Court knowing what they think because my gift is still with me you got one of them you have a gift it never leaves you you were born with it we may never see it you know but it's still there you can take a mango seed and put it on the tile floor in the lobby over there leave it there for 50 years question is the tree still in it yes that means you can be around for 90 years and we never saw you because your culture and your friends and your environment is like a tiled floor sometimes you got to relocate yourself to find yourself sometimes you do that you gotta leave the most wonderful people to meet the right person yourself it's about finding yourself this gift let me tell you something this is my philosophy this is mouseland rose philosophy of leadership number one I believe that trapped in every follower is a hidden leader right there done that is true I believe that Jesus believed that that's why he didn't cancel fishermen and farmers he knew they were not just fishermen he has to be told the fishermen I'm gonna turn you into a Fisher of men you think fish is only thing you can catch inside of you is a catcher of humans you can influence humans you're gonna do what you did to fish to people he saw in that fisherman in the little village a leader who had changed the world trapped number two you were born to lead but you must become a leader number three you possess the potential and the capacity of leadership this one is very important having the potential and the capacity doesn't mean you will have the experience again let's take a look at the mango seed on the tiled floor the capacity to become a mango tree still exists the potential to become a mango tree still exists but it is trapped and may never come out because that seed has never been placed in the right environment so it is with a human being you possess the capacity to leave but you've been convinced by your history and your culture that you ain't got the capacity I consider leaders people who who made a decision to reject everyone's opinion Elena's born when you declare independence from other people's ideas about yourself and until that happens you're a follower as long as you need people to like you you can never be a leader I am not in the business of having a love affair with people's approval this is why most true leaders they irritate you the invitation comes in the fact that they wouldn't behave the way you want them to be aid that's whatever it takes you about them my philosophy and before is that you were created to lead in an area of gifting that's why leadership is a personal discovery I leave the point number five true leadership is simply self-discovery I am and I have I am and I have I am a mango see I have mangos what a discovery I am a mango tree I have mango gifts by the way I wasn't born the way I'm talking to you right now I was born like anyone else in this country in this island I was born during the time of oppression I had to go through a transition I needed transformation in my own mind I never sought any of you to follow me no invitation do you know if you know who you are and discover what you carry it all of a sudden people dear friend why because even the people don't want be with you for nothing have you noticed any given any money obviously you have any friends they love you they are coming because of what you got the same thing is true of our leadership we make many friends because of what we carry people are looking for your gift I'm gonna wrap this up with a couple of thoughts your leadership gift this is important here every human came to earth with something that humanity needs said it with me every human came to earth with something that humanity needs as a big statement and it's true no one came to earth without something to give their generation everybody on the planet 7.2 billion people each one of them is carrying something and this is why I keep admonishing people that the wealthiest spot on earth is still the cemetery because people keep taking that gift back to the grave we never saw it we never received it we never benefited from it and they lived a whole life and died with it and this is why my number one goal in my life is to die empty I want to die with every fruit gone only in a camera food everybody take what I had I want to die like for I have finished my course he said I got a more cause to run I have kept the faith he says my my life is like a drink offering and I've been poured out and this nothing left he says I'm getting out of here that's the way you die you don't die sick and depressed and diseased you die because ain't nothing else to live for you die like Jesus died he didn't die old and chronically sick he died finished what a way to die he says it is finished that's leadership I'm empty he says I gave my all what a way to die on Sunday gone we had those men up here founding fathers and most of them are over 80 they look good but it will be 80 most of them and I sat there thinking they are they could afford to die I could afford to die now they get what they supposed to do they gave us a country there's not your take care of it nothing you know we can't take what to do with it but we delivered it to you don't feel sorry for them be sorry for yourself but you still full of stuff here's some that changed my life proverbs chapter 18 verse 16 Solomon says a man's gift makes room for him in the world and it brings him before great men and kings this is a deep statement a man's what gift makes room for him in the world what that means is in this world we don't make room for you in a room for you you wanted why your life so tough and you are catching so much trouble is because they got no room for you give me the chance no chance here in the world ain't got no chance you don't give me no chance you either got it or you ain't got it they say look what makes room for you look at look at when you discover your gift they back off please come right in please commit it come in and you would you like to sit just out what do you want it drink they said make it along for you gift you know sometimes some of the people in this room would travel with me on some trips and sometime they say to me no pastor miles I can't believe me I say here where I fit the prime minister this country I they know just why are you here my gift what is in this room and you with me you stay with the gift and make room for you listen they are not going to help you you got to make them help you your gift makes room people call on you because of your gift not because they like you imagine like uh somebody who broke and you need money so you're mister I need money and I like you but you broke well usually you to me like in you a helping meet all I always say that you know you broke and I broke these bad company I go on you gotta have what something kind of a gift man that's what makes you good company I could receive from you let me give an example one day Jesus Christ was hungry what is not he was hungry the Bible says he went up to a tree expecting the Bible said to refine fruit we tell you something friend if you don't just hanging around trees because you like trees my he made a traditional place it now based on what I made you to do you suppose have a gift and right now I need your gift I am hungry he walks up to the tree expecting to receive you don't hang around people you don't expect to receive something from you spend all these hours around somebody who is helping you and the Bible says when he discovered that there was no fruit on the tree he didn't just say God bless you I'm gone you know didn't either carefully he cursed the tree Oliver please you better pray boss minder Gordon cause you classic God look I seen you into the world when they come in your presence make sure there's something you can give them or you could be under curse a gift less life can be a cursed life that means you shouldn't always be living for what you can get from people you got to make sure you also got something for the people the more you share your gift the more people will come to you and most of the time with their gift because the tree because it didn't have its gifts so therefore can I let them look at me carefully he cursed it and the Bible says and the tree shriveled up and died I mean whatever that means it means he was saying you are taking up room is the room you takin up you are useless the space of being wasted leadership my life it's an open book the demands about my life is almost overwhelming manufacture is everyday I'm being torn a thousand different ways people are seeking me out the phone calls to see these that the emails if the detects the invitations are like God and Goddess because you are a fruitful treason you got something to give you found your fruit they seek you out look at the last part it brings you before great men oh I got so many stories where I sit and wonder what am I doing here I've sat in places I said I'm a bad town boy and I'm sitting in the Knesset of Israel next to the Prime Minister of Israel and he asked me what is your advice and before I could answer him I think about the pot cake dog in danger I'm sort of thing what am I doing here in the nation of God my gift makes room and brings me and man didn't want me he wanted my gift my plane ticket to Nigeria was $13,000 just the ticket they sent the ticket first class and then they'd pick me up with police escort took me to the the newest hotel downtown Victoria Island built by the Chinese of course they put me in a room too big for one person and I'm suddenly thinking what is this about Holies princess your gift makes room for you they'll bring you before great kings look in listening to your pastor somehow build me a long time you still don't get it get it tonight is it not about all that education you get education does not make you successful most PhD work for people who dropped out of school because those who know who they are will apply employ those who don't your gift makes room what makes you valuable to a company your gift when you hire somebody you know high-diving a good looks they bring a gift to the company that you need that's why you played it so you better find your gift and refine it and refine it and the way you refine your gift is keep using it and offering it's free this is important most of us want to get paid first these athletes we admire your no idea the price they pay at one moment in the Sun the joining to the gold medal is more important in the middle and we take photographs of the guy at the middle and never take photographs of 25 years of sweat he was working in secret he was working in the back Hills of Jamaica jogging those rocky hills in Blue Mountain of Jamaica eating cassava and then he shows up in England for 25 years no one knew who he was boom the ball took off we call him boat [Applause] that was not the name his mother gave him he became a leader because of his gift and now they run after him they invite him everywhere they want his name on their shoes they wanted to advertise their bank they shake the tree and they came to be yourself [Applause] and so he comes before President Obama it brings him before great men he stands before the Queen of England she didn't notice little barefoot Jamaican guy all his life but suddenly his gift ashes him into a place where he knows he could never be your gift leadership and so the philosophy of this whole concept tonight is this trapped in every follower is a hidden leader and true leadership is not pursued it is discovered every time someone tells me I going to be a leader my responses they'll never be you don't decide to be a leader I didn't leadership is about discovery of yourself so people who are pursuing leadership never arrived because the joining is on the inside first in other words truly the ship is when you discover your purpose for being born I was born to be a mango tree with mango seeds when the tree when the sea discovers that it becomes powerful so leadership is not about taking caution and leadership or learning management skills or techniques of controlling people how to manipulate people seven ways to get people to like you all these things we study notice you read all the books and you're sitting on nobody not even your dog is calling you in the morning what if not about all this list of of mechanics and technics Oh leadership leadership is not even a it's about one it's about discovering your purpose what was I born to give to the world that's what makes you powerful what was I born to give to the world I pray that you will be set free from your culture your culture is killing you the one you were brought up in with your parents of water events is destroying you your teachers were wrong about you forget their opinions the books you read the exams you took did not measure your true ability don't even trust a single grade you go to school anymore cancel it they were wrong they couldn't measure your ability you are immeasurable you got the Spirit of God how dare you judge me he needed no man to validate him we read that last weekend laughter Jesus Christ he needed no man to validate him it says for he knew what was in man they like to give their opinions you know the problem with Myles Munroe is this he really doesn't care what do you think about him being a joke and I think somebody write nothing about it take things up things I'm Bob here in this ticket I gonna eat the whole chopper I get any sleep people chuckling up no Morgan another one don't waste your time on a real leader face put Mandela in prison he made it a rule for 25 years they put yours in prison Joe became the manager in prison you see you can't even lock us up we take over the prison in your lockup a minute come on yarders are really talking not you you can find yourself feeling oh you know a lot of feelings to be out there you gotta be set free free from the culture you are victim only the truth can set you free not people the truth and that's what I'm hoping I'm giving you tonight the truth about you you get the truth about you you don't need no one to set you free the truth itself breaks the chains of your mind your attitude your mentality your self concept becomes restored your self-esteem is restored your self-worth is but together and suddenly you realize that I am who he says I am this is leadership may the Lord give us grace I'm gonna stop right here because I feel his presence talking to you close your eyes lift your hands and receive who you are right now all the assessment they gave you are wrong the Word of God says let God be true and every man a liar I trust what God says I received this message right now I receive Lord the truth I know it when I hear it I receive it go ahead and thank him right now just lift your hands open your mouth and thank him for hearing this message about you it's about your personal leadership development God gave you a gift you never knew that all these years you're not just an employee in some company you are a gift given to earth find it ask God to show you what you carry it ask him to show you your value ask him to show you what the real gift is in your life [Music] you're still important to God you are still valuable you are still special to the generation come on over your failures you still carrying the gift just like Tiger Woods yes you may mess up but the gift didn't go with it it is still there you still got it that's why God redeems you he doesn't save you he saves the gift he didn't just redeem you he redeems the gift he doesn't just send salvation for you he wants to save the food cool nombre so Thomas auditor oh god we receive it right now those of you at home watching this on television around the world you know in that same apartment that house you're sitting in is the Spirit of God I'm God is saying still believe that you have a gift your gift is not regulated by it's your gift that makes wrong for you not the government not your boss your gift father will repent we change our minds we change our thinking they

much to offer and you have been offering it to us but our children really need to hear from you our children in our grade schools really need to hear that there is another way of thinking that there is another way of being and in order for our country to move forward we have to bring out that leadership because we as older persons are not going to be here nor do we have what it's going to take to bring them out because we're battling our own slavery mentality can you please find a way to go into a some of our schools and speak to those children thank you are you Philippine you know I have had the privilege of creating an idea called culture up and that was the reason why we started a program last year few months ago we had about 2800 young people in this room they were all students I had them for a whole day and we were teaching them the same thing so that's what that's why we do it to bring all the schools together and the government is now wanting us to do it more they asking us to do it so we are still looking at those programs and we we promise you that we're going to be addressing the kids because you know Nathan is to me the most fortunate person in this room Joseph Joseph exactly Nathan Joseph chosen with the most of what they put in this whole room he's more important all of us you know why he got it at 11 somebody else oh he can't even get this no more yes I can but

tonight my neighbor and and possum Isles we know I know I know I know and for the most part everybody expressed that you are a gift to us and the world and you'll call to the kingdom at such a time as this and God is using you from the island as description saying so you know the prophecies fulfilling itself and even the gentleman from New York attest to that even at the Red Cross where would you

would know why I call you fathers but earlier on I know that I had an encounter with you when you were launching a book at June's communications on one of Wendell Jones's talk shows last year and you've obliged me by listening to some of the comments that I had to make and you told me to keep my pants up and go to the world I know that earlier on a young lady that spoke Italian to sister of mine and she said that we brought our whole family here my wife Kiki Smith is also here and so privileged that my son and my nephew are in the audience tonight because they're getting some of the foundational principles that I got back in the early 90s and when I go back to the early 90s I could recall there was a special day that you took a group of us young men out and we were pouring concrete and you made a promise you said that there's a college that is to come out of you and I believe that there's that book this is that birthing process of that college line I want my son and my nephew to be around because I'm gonna live to see that come out of you so you're going to be that tree that's going to birth that College we're waiting on that gift bless us with that thank you it just encouraged you thank you thank you you are closer than you think yes I'm in discussions right now this last year talking about the curriculum development for that so thank you so much for encouraging me well I hope that you've been inspired tonight and encouraged to believe in God's faith in you let me close with this comment and that's which you have any come closer prayer please look at this look at me have you ever seen a mango tree eat its own fruit think about it so whatever you were born with is never for you your gift is not for you it's for so a mango seed brings water mango

give us an indication of what you thought about us your sacrifice should help us to understand what we are worth the gift that's inside of us that was worthy of your death Lord we pause now as we put our hearts we ask Oh Lord that you will forgive us very sin of omission and of commission every thought every deed that was not in line with your word and your will recall it's in exactly what you call it and we ask that you would forgive us father we remember specially this week as we remember that as you prepared to pay the price you foreshadowed it when you took the bread you broke it you said the bread represented your body that would be broken broken for all of us for all time that we might be made whole again and you took the cup when you said that the cup represented your blood your blood that would be shared that we might be washed clean and pure spotless as if we never see we thank you O Lord for this love this act of love this sacrifice [Music] thank you lord we asked if you would take these physical elements tonight this bread is its cup and let them Lord as we partake tonight be a point of release of faith in the finished work of Calvary we would remember always that our salvation was costly it cost you your life thank you Jesus probably sanctify these elements now in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and we believe that as we partake we will receive your life your health and your strength in Jesus name in Frisco what if you pass from this protection the next will go halfway down says why Oh [Music] [Music] ah why thank you for the blood thank you for the blood oh gee oh thank you for the blood Oh see
