Build "Yourself" First Before Building A House For Yourself.

Build "yourself" first before building a house for yourself. It isn't about the quality of a house, but the worth of the individual living in the house. Building a house does not add value to an individual; it is who an individual is that adds value to his/her house. I've been to the premise of the "White House” in Washington DC, and I realized; it isn't the most beautiful house in America, but what makes it significant? What makes people fascinated about visiting the White House? I always say, "An empty head is a heavy load to the neck." “THINK” before you “STINK AND SINK." Listen! It isn't in the "quality" of the house, but in the caliber of individuals who live in the house. I challenge you today; build yourself first before building a house for yourself. DrBenard Etta

GLORY TO GOD!

Rethinking Leadership!

How do we bridge the gap between the leader and the led? I see a pattern everywhere; it is a pattern of a privilege few lording over a "less privileged" mass of people. In fact, it seems more like an accepted universal rule that a few people are to exert perpetual influence, while the rest of humanity looks up to these few for succor. This is a grave error from the rulers! As a matter of fact, the aim of  true leadership is not to widen the gap between the leader and the led, but to narrow it; making it significantly nonexistent. That is to say, a leader is a failure if he/she fails to bring people to a place where they either become like the leader or better than the leader. Each time I watch photos of mass political rallies in Africa; something inside of me troubles me. When I look at the leader and the crowd, I see a picture that should be changed. Often, the leaders look gorgeous before miserable people who may never grow out of danger. How do we change this? How do we successfully bridge the gap between the leader and the led? Is it a possibility or impossibility? Continue reading for more insight! Dr.EttaI woke up at 3:00 am this morning not to do my own work, but to work on the book of one of my men-tees. I realize that, leadership is not all about motivating people to do the leader's work as many have turned it to be. Leadership is about serving the needs of others. As leaders, it's important for us to know that, those under us also have their own aspirations. The true character of one's leadership is tested by one's attitude and contribution towards the aspirations of those under one's leadership. We cease to be leaders when we assume that, people are there to work for us. True leaders don't lead people to themselves, but to their own destiny. Thus, whatever service people render under a leader; it should be considered as a process of developing their potential to become leaders in their own rights. True leaders don't raise followers; they raise leaders. A lion can't give birth to a goat! Dr. Benard Etta   

  • "A Leader or the Leader"

There are three types of leaders living in every era. 

1) Those who represent the past 

2) Those who represent the present 

3) Those who represent the future. 

Those who represent the past, unfortunately are always against those who represent the present and the future. To be a broad-based leader, with the capacity to inspire people across the board (Past, present and future) you must be an embodiment of everything good about the past, present and future.

The scriptures say, "Jesus Christ is "the same" yesterday and today and forever." His relevance is constant and doesn't diminish with time. This is what true leadership is about. 

Leaders who represent the past, with little or no insight about "present-day" demands, can't actually inspire the "present" generation. In fact, sometimes all they endeavor to do is to take the "present" emerging generation to their mindset, which actually is a murder of their destiny. 

Leaders who represent the "present," with no knowledge of what the "past" had in store and what the "future" holds can't have depth. They usually inspire superficiality, and some are ethically and morally bankrupt. Most young leaders today fall in this category. I fear greatly because I see some of them as mere "accidents going somewhere to happen." I cry for them in my heart, and I pray the Lord opens their eyes to the danger ahead of them. 

Leaders with insight about the future, but with no knowledge of the heritage of the past and what the present-day demands, would live in the dream world with nothing to offer the present generation. 

Representing either the past, the present or the future, makes one "a leader," but operating with a blend of the past, present and the future, makes one "the leader." There is a difference between "a leader" and "the leader." If you are "a leader,” it is time to make progress to become "the leader." 

Jesus Christ is not "a leader," but the leader; he is the alpha and omega of leadership. That is why, he has inspired more leaders than anyone in history and in con temporal times.

Our Passion is to raise Kingdom leaders via this platform, whose lives embodies the good of the past, the better of the present and the best of the future. Dr.Benard Etta

Leadership Insight!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on May 5, 2015 at 9:01am

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Gla 4:1-2.

No one should seek "independence" without something "independent" (Unique) to offer. This simple truth can curb the number of organisations, institutions and ministries prevalent today the world over, operating in imitation and limitation.

Premature "independence" is one of the reasons most emerging leaders are stagnant in their development and impact. There is no reason for leaving an existing organization, institution or ministry just to do the same thing under an independent banner. "Independence" is the destiny of everyone in leadership, but can be dangerous if misunderstood and attained out of the required due process.

Independence is for interdependence; interdependence is the partnership of two truly independent individuals or organisations, each one bringing to the table their unique potentials (Gifting) and exchanging them in a complementary manner in order to complete each other.

The pathway to the top is the humility to learn under the mentorship and leadership of individuals with outstanding character, vision, revelation and leadership skills, while waiting for the proper timing to step out to undertake an independent work for interdependence.

Time Invested under genuine mentors, not tormentors, is never a wasted time, but time wisely invested. I encourage every aspiring leader to invest time to serve and learn under genuine mentors and leaders no matter the inconveniences until the time their potentials develop for unique and independent expression and impact. This is when you step out to create "a new world" to give life to "existing worlds."

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5. Cheers! DrBenard Etta

You Can Imprison A Man Of Vision, But Not His Vision!

When I think of Nelson Mandela, what fascinate me about his story is the fact that, he sustained his vision for South Africa despite imprisonment for 27 years. As an African, I am not only aware of the fact that most Africans give up their vision sooner than expected, but I have seen several individuals who were part of history, but suddenly gave up. The tenacity to maintain focus on a vision despite severe challenges is what truly defines a leader, not his or her motorcade. It is sad when we now have a generation that can't stand for anything, talk less of going to prison like Nelson Mandela with all it takes to enjoy the comfort of a promising career. Nelson Mandela is a symbol of what is possible when ordinary individuals choose to live for something bigger than themselves. DrBenard Etta

Seven Reasons Why Some In Leadership Today Are Not Effective.

1) They invest very little in their development and the pursuit of their purpose.

2) They stepped out prematurely, when they were not really equipped. 
3) They served under individuals who themselves were ineffective and thus, they inherited the same and continued a legacy of ineffectiveness.
4) They are ignoring the rules of the "game,"yet expecting better results.
5) They are simply looking for financial and material success and not genuine impact on lives,
6) They don't even know where they are going to since they have no real history of how they got their inspiration, but are opportunists, borrowing from what they see on television and around them. 
7) They ignore those sent to their lives to help build them.

Seek Heaven's Endorsement!

Ministry is a unique delivery from heaven, downloaded into the inside of an individual to dispatch on earth. You can't have a ministry and not have an unequaled delivery of God's mind for your generation. It is preferable to wait under the ministry of those who know what they are doing and where they are going to, with unique downloads from heaven to dispatch on earth until heaven bestows the grace for ministry than to step out with mere ambition without anything to offer. There are a lot of people today who claim to be ministers, but without a ministry endorsement from heaven. This is the cancer the Christian church is sick of. May the Almighty God save his church.Dr.Benard Etta

Discovery Of Purpose!

The purpose of an individual is his/her individuality in expression. It is an assignment no one is "wired" to accomplish except the one ordained for it. When one fails to accomplish his or her purpose, it may take several dispensations for a replacement to be made, and the consequences reversed. Imagine how long it took God to send a second Adam to undo and correct the failure of the first Adam. If Adam ever knew the long-term consequence of his action, he would have thought thrice before disobeying God. Dr. Benard EttaDr.Lester Sumrall                                       Apostle of faith

Leadership Isn't a Title Affair!

Some titles are earned, while some others are like the fig leaves Adam and Eve used in their attempt to cover their nakedness. The question is, how long can fig leaves last? The answer lies in the rising of the sun. Before you put on a title, go into the annals of history and in con-temporal times, find out the caliber of men and women who put on that title and the impact they made on their generation. Unproven titles are like Saul's armor on David. The real Davids use what The Lord has given them, not Saul's armor. Let your worth, achievements, contributions and results define your title; mere title without the above is worthless. It's time we regain our sanity.DrBenard Etta T.L.

Can A Nation Be Born In One Day?

 Yes! An entire nation can experience a rebirth, but it will take a generation of regenerated hearts and minds to inspire such transformation. It seems the faith for the transformation or rebirth of nations is all-time low in this era than in any other time in history. It is rare these days to find leaders who are thinking, believing and working with the vision of the rebirth of their nations at heart. In Christendom, for instance, the drive is mostly that of planting "mushroom" churches all over the place, which may never grow out of danger and sometimes constitute part of the problem in most nations due to a limited vision and egoistic tendencies on the part of some at the hem of leadership. God is interested in the transformation of nations and whole societies, not just the salvation of some few folks who constitute our church membership. It's time we get saved in our mentality and orientation to see the unprecedented opportunities in our time to see nations and societies transformed. DrBenard Etta

Bishop David Oyedepo: A brief of my life

TRIBUTE TO DR.MYLES MUNROE

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Jos 1:1-2.

God speaks every second, but we can only hear him with our hearts and not our heads. In this crucial moment, coupled with the happenings of the hour, it is vital for us as God's people to hear what the Lord is saying to the church. Dr. Myles Munroe's transition to glory, just like that of Moses as recorded in our scriptural text, is an event that signifies a major shift in the body of Christ. 

Dr. Myles Munroe represented the transition of the 20th century church into the 21st century, just as Moses represented the transition of Israel ( God's Old Testament church) from Egypt to the promised land. Most transitional leaders are like a catalyst; they ignite the fire, and pass on the baton to the next generation to complete the assignment. 

Dr. Myles Munroe was far ahead of his time. His thoughts and insight on the message of the kingdom, purpose, leadership and the global direction the church should take in the 21st century was a step ahead of the thoughts and understanding of most of his contemporaries. It was so because he was an apostolic leader sent to prepare the 20th century church for the 21st century. 

Just as Moses led the transition of Israel from Egypt into the wilderness en route to the promised land, for over three decades of ministry, Dr. Myles Munroe has been running with the passion, vision and wisdom to facilitate a shift in the body of Christ, from the understanding of the 20th century into that of the 21st century. Now that he is gone, what is next? 

Listen! God is giving charge to the next generation of leaders ( Joshua's Generation) just as he gave charge to Joshua after the death of Moses to take the People of Israel across Jordan into the Land he promised them. The baton of leadership has been passed to a new generation of leaders to move the church from the transitory point the church is presently into the promise of the 21st century( The emergence of the glorious church). 

The next ten years (2015-2025) prophetically are termed the "Jordan Crossing." Remember, the next move of God has begun, but not everyone present in the church today will be part of it. It is not what we are used to, it is a new phenomenon. Only the prepared, and those connected to the heart of God, just like Joshua was connected to Moses will make it into the next phase. There is so much to say, stay connected for progressive insight. Shalom! DrBenard Etta
