Genesis 12:3 "[ill All Fanrilies of the Earth are Blelsed,,

f od told lonah to call the people of Nineveh

\J to repent. They had lived a life of pride and

selfishness, and had failed to submit to God in

worship. But when lonah ran from God, he wasguilty of the same things! God hurnbled lonahand gave him perspective in the belly of the fish,

profound worship experience.

the people to live. People do what people see.

Leadership starts at hgrlre. it doesnt workat home, dont export it- Pastors, especially, mustheed this warning. Leadership works best when itis prioritized as follows:

1. I am first a person I must prioritize my ownrelationship with God.

2. Second, I am a partner. I must prioritize myrelationship with my spouse.

3. Third, I am a parent I must prioritize my rela-tionship with my children.

4. Fourth, I am a pasfor. I must prioritize my rela-

tionship with my ministry.
