Be positive

Positive minds produce positive lives. Negative minds produce negative lives.

Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope.

Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt.

Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in life. They have had so many disappointments, they dont think they can face the pain of another one like me. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they wont be disappointed.

This avoidance of hope is a type of protection against being hurt. Disappointment hurts! So rather than be hurt again, many people simply refuse to hope or to believe that anything good will ever happen to them. This type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Someone asked me if breakup, separation could hurt you, would you still try to searching for love. But I guess my answer is revealed within my title, I dont want to live a life with fear. I was a person who think ” if you didnt expect anything happen, you wont be disappointed when it doesnt”. After I become a Christian, I found out God is Love, God has a prefect plan for me which may involve lots of challenge and I believe everything happens has its purpose and under His control. Roman 8:28

Sometimes I could feel my emotion getting upset with the situation as you dont get what you want, our feelings will rise up and try to get us into self-pity and a negative thought. I got to recognise that I have a choice to make : be “+” or “-” to the situation.

I realized that even a person who is really positive wont have everything work out the way he would like it to all the time. But the positive person can go ahead and decide to enjoy himself no matter what happens. The negative person never enjoys anything, they always seems to spot the one thing that could be a potential problem.

Be an examplery leader

How learn to be a leader of example

• Being a good example is a long lasting investment

1. Need for discipler - the need for making people who make disciple

• young believer need guidance of God Jn 8:31 Lk 9:23 Jn 13:34-35
• telling is not teaching , listening is not learning

4 steps

4. need to know how

• there is not short cut in discipleship we need to be continuous example

Leadership

1. Position - real leader dont need position to need, people will follow although they are not obliged to.

• Boss drives people to work, leader train people (boss say "go" , leader say "let's go")
• Boss requests people to work, leader do it together
• Boss inspires fear , leader inspire enthusiasm and passion

Leader poses security on God not on the position itself.

Greater position requires greater humility

2.Permission - they are willing to follow you

3. Production - How we grow people
If not productive that means problems maybe in their side or in our side

Always show confidence in God that God will make the way for it.

success without successor is a failure

How Jesus develop people .

Superhero Jesus

Heb 1:1-3
Jesus is superior than any angel and any prophet .
Jesus is the radiance of God so He is God himself.
Jesus is the image of God, through Him we can see "the image of invisible God" (Jn 14:9)
(v.3) The universe came together in order not by chance but by God power and the son hold it together the created order perserving it from destruction until the day he come.

Last night I was waiting for people outside the house and looking at the moon ,suddenly my mind came out a thought that I felt so tired of talking alone if you are real please show me something to secure my heart. Where were you when I was talking to YOU, are you listening to me. Sometimes I found hard to trust you when I told people my God is real, yet I have not seen HIM and not truly experienced HIM. God Are you real ? Are you listening to my prayer ??
One thing I miss out is Jesus, He just come not long time ago to the world to show us the master of the universe, our Almighty God, King of the King. Ya, that's Jesus . Jesus is something telling me that the manual of the life and make my "invisible God" to be visible.
