Be Made Whole

Here’s that controversial subject again – tithing! It’s controversial, but we really need to talk about it to understand it and how it pertains to our protection, so we can apply its principle and enjoy the benefits that come with it. Our protection is an important matter, right? Come with me as we scan the Old Testament and the New Testament so we can get the truth on this important matter.

Did you know that there’s a connection between our love walk and our protection? Did you know there’s a connection between taking communion and our protection? Did you know there’s a connection between praising God and our protection? Come with me as we unpack what the Word of God has to say about these connections.

Did you know that you have authority over Satan in every attempt he makes to harm you and your family? God has freely given you a class of weaponry that’s far more potent than the measly weaponry the enemy uses against you. I’ll show you the most powerful weapon you have and how you can use it effectively against him.

Many people see repentance as an obligation, and fear (or worry) as the responsible thing to do. If that’s you, then I’m here to tell you that you’ve got it the wrong way round. Repentance is a powerful tool in our favour, and fear is a destructive weapon formed for our destruction. I’ll show you how you can use repentance as this powerful tool that it really is, and how you can resist fear so it won’t bring destruction in your life.

Did you know that there’s a link between teaching & correcting your children and their (& your) protection? In this message, I’ll show you how it’s all connected, and you will be able to recognise the importance and impact of teaching and correcting your children for their (and your) wellbeing.

We all hear many voices from a few sources – ours, others’, God’s, and Satan’s. The challenge we have is not to hear those voices, but to identify where they are coming from. And God has given us His Spirit as His voice to guide us so that we can be protected, even when we find ourselves in dangerous places or dangerous times. Here’s how you can identify the voice of Holy Spirit when He guides you and shows you the way to go so you can be protected every day.

God has given us His angels and His Word to use to activate His protection over us and our families. When we align our words with His, the angels will go to work on our behalf and bring that protection to pass in our lives. In this message, I’ll show you the mechanics of how it all works together.

Did you know that God’s protection is not automatic? It would be if we didn’t have an enemy trying to take it away from us every day. In this series, I’ll give you the tools you need to activate God’s protection, ward off your enemy, Satan, and keep him away from your family so you can enjoy God’s protection every day.

Mental and spiritual health - how to deal with current challenges and overcome them.

Continuing with emotional, mental, and spiritual health, here’s how you can confront your fears and win. (Continued from Part 3)

Getting healthy is not only about your physical body, but also about emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Let’s talk about how you can take on some “inner” giants and defeat them. (Continued in Part 4)

Getting healthy in the kitchen, on your body, and in the home doesn’t have to be complicated. Just treat it like eating an elephant – one bite at a time! Simply tackle one challenge at a time, and soon you will begin to see the benefits of every change you make.

Your health is about much more than just your body. And getting healthy is not a flash. It's a journey. Join me on this journey as you get healthy - one step at a time.

Your capacity to grow will determine your capacity to lead. Without personal growth, your and my leadership will never expand and progress. That’s just the way it works. Personal growth is so vital in your leadership journey, and I want to encourage you with some of the benefits you can enjoy in life and in leadership if you stay in the growth game.

Ever wondered how you can get to the top? Leadership is an uphill climb. Now, that might sound a bit heavy, but it doesn’t have to be. With self-discipline, intentionality, and consistency you can push through the discomfort of change and successfully make the uphill climb to the top.

The indispensable quality of leadership is vision. Without vision, we aren’t leading our people anywhere. We must take ownership of our vision because our vision is the thing that pulls us in a forward direction. And in order for us as leaders to grow and increase our vision, we need to see more and before others do. How do you do that? I’ll show you how here.

If you help people get what they want, they will help you get what you want. And amongst leaders there needs to be a change of heart because the heart of true leadership is serving people. Servant leaders always rise to the top. They have very specific attitudes towards their role as a leader and towards their people. If you want to rise to the top in your leadership journey, find out what those attitudes are here.

As a leader, how can you put whatever-it-takes into action? Here is John Maxwell’s tried and tested cycle that will give you the whatever-it-takes edge.

If you want to be ahead of the game in your leadership journey, you need that extra edge – attitude! A leader’s attitude, which says, “Whatever it takes …” But what is “whatever”? Here are a few “whatever” leadership attitudes that will give you that edge and will cause you to stand out as an effective leader.

In continuing from Part 6, where I spoke about the tough part in dealing with leadership problems, we now move to the good part, which is this: problems introduce us to opportunities. Here I’ll show you how to view your problems as opportunities and thereby capitalize on them. Change them from stumbling blocks to steppingstones.

The quickest way to gain leadership is by solving problems. And the tough part about dealing with these problems is that they bring along with them some reality checks – like discovering what we are really made of and discovering what other people are really made of. In this part I’ll show you how to deal with whatever you discover about yourself and others while navigating successfully towards solutions.

What is the ultimate test of leadership? Creating positive change. Are we up for the challenge? Join me as I lead you through John Maxwell’s tried and tested process of successfully leading your team through positive change.

Character is the foundation of leadership. So, what kind of character makes a good leader? In this podcast I’ll show you how you can develop yourself to be an influential and significant leader.

Creating margin in your life is crucial to prioritising, especially if you are a leader. Margin gives you creativity and dream time. But what exactly is margin? Join me as I define margin and show you how you can create it in your life so you will be more successful in your personal life and more effective as a leader.

There are 5 levels of leadership. Where are you on the scale? Priorities are a big key to your leadership journey. Discover the pressures that come when we try to prioritise, and the principles and systems we can apply to our lives to help us to be more effective in our prioritising.

Becoming the leader you have the potential to be will change everything for you. And anyone can become a good leader. Leaders are not born. They’re made. Join me on this journey as we unpack 10 critical components of authentic, personal leadership that will help you to become the leader you desire to be.

John Maxwell said, “If you’re not doing something with your life, it doesn’t matter how long it is.” When it comes to personal growth, it starts with you & I. And while that’s a great starting place, it’s a terrible ending place. If we only see ourselves in the picture, that’s a very small picture, and we limit how far we can go. But when we include others, we see a much bigger picture, and we begin to get free from our limitations. Here’s how you can make your life count by seeing the big picture.

Nike says: “There is no finish line.” Instead of wondering “when will I get there” wouldn’t you rather like to wonder “how far can I go?” That just takes the limits off, doesn’t it? It makes us feel like our capacity is unlimited! And it is, provided that you and I change the way we think and do things. Join me as we take the limits off and see how far we can go …..

There’s nothing new under the sun — but there are lots of old things we don’t know. And curiosity is a state in which you want to learn more about something. A curious person has a thirst for knowledge. They have a zest for life. They’re interested in people, ideas, and experiences. If you’ve lost your interest and zest for life, here’s how you can get it back by cultivating curiosity.

You have to give up to go up! That’s a fact! And in the beginning, you might feel a sense of loss. But don’t be discouraged! It will be worth the sacrifice. Here’s how you can make good trade-offs that will serve you and that you won’t regret.

Every pain introduces a person to himself. We hate the pain of a bad experience - but it can help us so much! If we treat bad experiences correctly, they can bring our greatest growth times. Here’s how you can turn pain into gain and become bigger on the inside than you are on the outside.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. So, to maximise your growth, you need to develop your own strategies. You’ve got to have a ‘system’. Here are some tried and tested systems that will work for you.

If you’re not in a good environment, you’ve got to change that environment, because there’s environment that’s conducive to growth and there’s environment that’s not conducive to growth. Good environments have certain characteristics. And they begin at a certain place. Find out what those characteristics are and where they begin in this message on the law of environment.

Do you have why-power? Will-power will get you moving, but you need why-power to stay on course and keep growing. You want to get out of your comfort zone because there are advantages to getting stretched. Find out what those advantages are so you can strengthen your ‘why’.

Evaluated experience is a better teacher than experience alone. It’s not what you did that grows you. It’s what you learned from what you did that’s going to help you grow and develop yourself as a person. And having good role models to guide you will help you to accurately change what needs to change. Here are some questions you could ask yourself that promote reflection and some guidelines to choosing good role models.

Before you can add value to others, you must add value to yourself. But you will only add value to yourself if you see yourself as valuable. Let’s look at ways you can improve your self-worth by lifting your self-image lid.

Before you can grow yourself, you have to know yourself. And to know yourself, you need to identify your passion and your purpose. Here are some strategic questions you can ask yourself to help you identify your passion and set you on the road to fulfilling your purpose.

Growth is not an automatic process. If you’re going to grow, you have to grow on purpose. It’s the gap between knowing and doing. The less intentional we are, the bigger the gap between them. Come with me as I show you how you can close that gap so you can begin to see the benefits of growing.

Power nuggets for times of adversity, uncertainty, and crisis.

Find out how you can successfully help your people through a crisis by leading with good values.

When there’s a crisis going on, a follower only needs to consider himself, but a leader must consider his whole team. As a leader, what should your perspective be? Your perspective matters. It’s the difference between you and your team overcoming the crisis or being buried by the crisis.

In a crisis there are 2 kinds of people. They don’t handle the crisis the same way. The one gets buried by the crisis and the other one turns it around and overcomes. Which one are you? The victim or the victor?

In part 2 of this podcast series, we continue with comments about crises to help you get a right perspective of a crisis so you can navigate through it and come out better on the other side.

How do you define a crisis? A crisis doesn’t have to scare you if you fully understand its definition. Here are some comments about crises to help you get a good perspective so you won’t be overcome by the fear of it.

In this 2-part segment I’ll show you some ways you can keep it simple so people will not only understand but will also want to listen to you.
