Valued Principle


March 17, 2009- We had an interesting talk yesterday about influence. Pastor Mark gave us the principle of adding to someone's value. That is huge and we tend to overlook such a dynamic in our leadership because we think we influence by production or giftings. Anyway, I thought about this in length and came up with a cool exercise that I plan to practice. I would encourage you to try it as well.


1. Make a list. List people in your life or ministry that you want to help or disciple. Those people you see something extra in. And by the way, everybody is special. The reason they seem special to you is that God is speaking to you about them.



2. Do something for them. Find unexpected ways to add to their value. Take them out to eat, to a movie. Find out some ways you could help them grow in areas other than the ones you need them in(Hey, You know it's the truth)!



3. Teach them this principle. Look, when someone is hungry, you can give them a fish to eat, but please make sure that you also teach them how to fish!!!
