It's Time To Grow Up

This message was shared at High Calling Ministries in Upper Marlboro,MD. It’s a message that shifted me while I was sharing it as I believe the Lord was transitioning me in that moment to prepare me for the work He was bringing me into.  This message is one that will challenge you to separate yourself from the status quo and courageous step into the next season of your life.  There are places and spaces where the Lord wants to take you that demands a more mature version of who you are today. I pray the message blesses and challenges you to move from where you are and GROW to where GOD would have you to be.  Book Reference: 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we encourage you to get the help and support you need. Seek resources online or from trusted leaders and mentors who can point you in the right direction.

A Youthful Perspective of Kingdom Excellence

According to Elder Lafaun, excellence is an identity; it's not just a tool or skill or what we're found doing with our hands but rather how we are doing what GOD has called us to do with our hands. Excellence is what we give out; it's the ability to stand out. Elder Lafaun defines Kingdom Excellence as the quality of being outstanding or extremely good under the rulership/jurisdiction of a King. Kingdom Excellence is not possible without the King. We cannot operate with Kingdom Excellence if we have no relationship with the King. The words we speak are a testament to our level of consecration; we must remember that our words matter and have the ability to shape our world.

Managing Transitions with Kingdom Excellence

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Operating in the Spirit of Kingdom Excellence podcast. Keys to remember when navigating transition in the local church: The Power of Prayer - Remember,  this is the Lord’s church, we serve under His domain, we follow His blueprint as provided for us in His word, and we turn to Him, not our preferences, opinions, education, or influence for how we should manage the transition in His church. The Importance of Preparation - The preparation process reveals character, one's ability to be humble and teachable, whether one can be accountable, how one handles correction and spiritual discipline, how one demonstrates their submission to serve in areas where they’re needed and not necessarily where they want to serve.  Before the promotion, one must be prepared for the assignment. This waiting period, this time of preparation is a prerequisite for effective leadership. Do not be swift in promoting the gifted but wait for the demonstration of the anointing by the fruit that is produced without a position, without a title, without a platform. The Responsibility to Propel - To propel simply means to help move forward. After we’ve prayed to GOD for wisdom, and instruction, sought counsel in helping to formulate a plan for facilitating a change or transition, and have done the necessary work in preparation through coaching, training, and development it is time to move forward. No one ever said the change would be easy or embraced, however, when we are clear we’ve heard from GOD, He will make all things right in His time. Transition is not just happening to our seasoned saints in terms of asking GOD what’s next but for our emerging leaders who are stepping into new roles and responsibilities asking, what am I supposed to do now? GOD requires us to steward well what has been entrusted to us and we want to ensure we manage our seasons of transition well.
