Finding your David

Findind-Your-David

 

  • David is emblematic of who will capture your heart and provide the next level of leadership
  • David is a portal
    • A place of connection
  • Everybody needs somebody
    • You make them better and they make you better
    • Everybody needs somebody who they mean the world to
  • Before asking for a favor make sure you have sufficient relational equity
You must find peace in your relationship with:
  • God/Jesus
    • He’s a person, not just energy or force
      • He is the way
      • He is the word
      • He is the truth
      • He is a provider
      • He is peace
      • He is love
    • Never allow anything to detract from your relationship with Jesus Christ
  • Yourself
    • Rulers dont define who you are
    • Grades don’t define your intelligence
  • Your Life mission
    • You’re not here by coincidence or chance
  • The one you choose to marry
    • Choose someone you can celebrate,  not tolerate
  • Others
    • Luke 2: 14
    • Your greatest assest is not what you know,  It’s who you know
    • The seasons of your life doesn’t pass with time, it changes with the people who enter or exit your life
      • A new person can take you into the next dimension
  • The past is a platform, not a destination
    • God will use this as your testimony
      • Your testimony becomes the platform
  • When you die in yourself he will live through you
  • Every new level of your life comes with new relationships
    • You’ll never achieve what you’re capable of If you keep holding onto what you need to let go
    • Never cut off what you have the power to untie
      • Don’t burn your bridges
    • People shouldn’t be merely used or viewed as stepping stones
    • We have to learn to say “goodbye” and not “get lost”
    • Some peopleare assigned to you,  someare attached to you
      • Assigned – mutual benefit and strife
      • Attached – bloodsuckers

AttachedOrAssigned

  • Every person you met is either a lesson or a blessin’
  • Every person that is a lesson prepares you for the blessin’

relationship equities

  • Just because you met somebody in church doesn’t mean they are the one
    • Demons go to church to
    • The Highest level of demons us called the “religious order”
  • Anytime you notice a change in a person,  check their new relationships
  • Real friends arent in cyberspace,  they are in the real world
  • God’s answer to every problem is always a person
  • God has created millions of doors for his love, and one of those doors is you
Bad managers are:
  • Insecure
    • Territorial
    • Selfish and don’t like to share credit
  • Inconsiderate
    • Correct people in public
      • Correct privately,  praise publicly
    • Disrespectful
  • Incompetent
    • They lack the knowledge of people skills
    • Going to school doesn’t mean you know how to work well with people
  • Egocentric
    • They take all the credit
    • Great leaders take more of the blame than they should, but less of the praise than they could
