A KINGDOM LEADER NEVER BURNS OUT
Insecure people make weak leaders
which will never grow their ministries beyond their arms length. Men of faith
and great vision have allowed insecurity to set limitations on what I want to do
through them, in the earth. All ministry is mine and without Me and apart from
Me, cut off from vital union with Me, you can do nothing." John 15:5 (AMP) On
one hand the committed leaders say they have faith in Me, and that it's My work
and My people, not theirs, but on the other hand, they are only able to trust My
Spirit in themselves, but not in other people. If they are not at the helm every
moment and guiding every aspect of the ministry, it stands still until they
arrive on the scene. Now the western church leaders are burning out faster, than
new ones are being recruited.
The kingdom plan is for every strong
ministry to stand on four legs with all feet on Me, the rock of ages. The
outreach leg, the educational leg, the caring and nurturing leg, and the
purifying leg. Each leg has it's own gifted leader that hears and knows My voice
which keeps them all walking in unison. Each leg is joined together by a single
vision, which I have instilled in the one I call an apostle. I gave these
individuals, as gifts to My church, and to not use and trust them, is also not
trusting Me to do My work. "I gave some apostles; and some, prophets (purifying
leg); and some, evangelists (outreach leg); and some, pastors (nurturing leg)
and some teachers (educational leg);" Ephesians 4:11 (KJV). There is absolutely
no reason for a burnout if things are done My way. What kind of master builder
would I be if My plan burned out My captains? I told you from the start that, My
yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:30 (KJV) So who's yoke are you
carrying?
The persons I have given to the church are not those the world
or the carnal church would pick as leaders. They all have fought many battles,
suffered many wounds and carry many scars, but they are still standing. They are
very familiar with pain and the cost that must be paid. They are from many walks
of life, but now all have the common thread of faithfulness. I give the apostle
instructions and then if he is a good apostle he will "take the instructions
which he has heard from Me, and confirmed by many witnesses, and transmit and
entrust it as a deposit to these reliable and faithful men, that I have given
the church, to establish the four strong legs, who will be competent and
qualified to teach others also, to build each respective leg." 2 Timothy 2:2
(AMP)
These men and women do not need pampering or to be watched over
because they have caught the apostles vision and all follow My calling as I
build My church. I am able to confound the world with these I have brought
together because by the worlds standards they do not qualify. The secure apostle
understands that "not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble, are called, to help him build a strong team. " 1 Corinthians 1:26 (KJV)
The apostle is aware that I make a practice of choosing ... "the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise; and I have chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are mighty; so that all glory goes to My
father." 1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV)
But because the apostle has been hurt
in so many past battles most have a trust issue remembering the past failures of
men, thus he is insecure and try's to hop or limp on one leg trying to do it all
himself, making the fortress weak and top heavy, with unlearned new babes. This
is a very serious thing because an entire city can be lost when an apostle burns
out. Moses was the equivalent of an insecure apostle with a church of 3 million
homeless people, and he started to burn out but I gave him the standard old
testament kingdom plan, to establish a kingdom work.
Just before burnout
he said, "How can I bear alone the weariness and pressure and burden of the
people and their strife? [13] I sent Jethro and told him to, "Choose wise,
understanding, experienced, and respected men according to your tribes, and I
will make them heads over the people. [15] So he took the heads of the tribes,
wise, experienced, and respected men, and made them heads over them, commanders
of thousands, and hundreds, and fifties, and tens, and officers according to
their tribes. [17] They could not be partial in judgment; but they had to hear
the small as well as the great. They could not be afraid of the face of man, for
the judgments were Mine. And any case that was too hard for them, they were to
bring to Moses, and he would hear it." Deuteronomy 1:12-13,15,17 (AMP)
In
order to do this Moses had to trust Me in others and be delivered of his
insecurity. I must bypass all insecure leaders when it comes to the greater
work, because it is much to big for one man. My church will only be brought to
maturity by a team demonstrating the unity of the Spirit and walking in love,
while honoring each others gifts. That's the way My kingdom will c
