How did Jesus relate to his team?
Objectives1. In this session you will learn how to be
relational to the team.2. You will develop interpersonal skills by
imitating Christ3. You will become a relational leader and not
an instructional leader
Important Scriptures John 13:23 Luke 10:21 Matthew 5:13,14 Matthew 7:12 Luke 6:31,32 John 6:70,71 John 1:14 1Peter 2:21 Mark 3:35
How did Jesus relate to his team?
1. He loved them (John 13:23)2. He was excited by their success(Luke 10:21)3. He affirmed them (Matthew 5:13,14)4. He respected them (Matthew 7:12;Luke 6:31,32)5. He was transparent and non compromising.(John 6:70,71)6. He was visible to them, a good role model.(John
1:14;1Peter 2:21)7. He encouraged the Word as His basis for relationship
(Mark 3:35)
Plan to apply these principles of Christ to your Team.1. Do you love them unconditionally, because they are your
brothers and sisters or in spite of them being your brothers and sisters.?
2. Do they respect you?3. Do you affirm them?4. Are you excited by their successes?5. Are you transparent?6. Do you encourage them to stick to the Word of God?
How did Jesus relate to his team?
Examine yourself1. If it is “never” develop now to change.2. Continue until you have developed a culture of
doing and implementing in the area of need.3. Diarise it into your plan.4. Anytime is to soon to give up5. Start today to change and build your team.6. Purposefully plan to impact them.7. Grow your team and you will grow the work!
A culture that is stronger will always dominate a weaker
culture.
A strong culture of being undisciplined will always dominate
a culture of discipline.
Develop a positive culture until the negative culture
submits to it.
People do not worry too much about the program they would more readily
respond to …
Whether they experience a sense of belonging and a sense
of being cared for.

Value Driven Leadership
In a few hundred years, when the history of our time is written from a long term perspective, it is likely that the most important event those historians will see is not technology, not the internet, not e-commerce.
Value Driven Leadership
It is the unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time – literally- substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the fist time , they will have to manage themselves.
Value Driven Leadership
“ And Society is
totally unprepared
for it!”
Value Driven Leadership
Hunter Age
Agricultural Age
Industrial Age
Information Age
Wisdom/Character
5 Stages of Civilizations' Growth
Value Driven Leadership
The challenges• Each age introduces a technology that makes the
previous age redundant and irrelevant.• Due to this people aspire to improve their
competence levels.• So we have a number of competent people but we
are also seeing the decline of people of character.• Each age had a control model. Each age had a
model of governance
Value Driven Leadership
Important Points to consider The industrial age ushered in the management of people like
they were things, the downward approach. The 21st Century is ushering a management style of
managing yourself. The most valuable asset of the 20th Century were its
production equipment. The most valuable asset of the 21st Century is its people
capacity and their productivity
Value Driven Leadership
We study how to make money
but we never study how to live in order
to make money.
Value Driven Leadership
Was Jesus Outdated?• No a thousand times no!, He was ahead of
our time and He still is.• Remember He is the beginning and the End!• Let us look at Jesus when it comes to
character.
Value Driven Leadership
The Team if it is not• Using new technology it is becoming
irrelevant• Using new levels of information it is not
growing its capacity• Doing new things it is not growing, it is
maintaining the status quo.
Value Driven Leadership
Three areas of the Life of Jesus• Character• Competence• Wisdom
Value Driven Leadership
Character• Integrity • Maturity• Abundance Mentality
Value Driven Leadership
IntegrityHonesty is telling the truth.
Integrity is making a promise to
yourself /others and keeping it.
Integrity is completeness
Value Driven Leadership
Matt 5:3737 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your
'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
Matt 1:2222 So all this was done that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet,
saying:(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
Characteristics of Integrity• Faithful : Decisive• Fulfilled : Delivers• Focused : Directed
People who are faithful,fulfilling and focused
are people who can be trusted
Value Driven Leadership
MaturityJohn 4:3434 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the
will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
• Food : That which sustains• Will: what one wishes or has determined
to be done. A choice of one’s own will.
• Finish: To carry through completely or to accomplish.
• Work: business, employment what one is occupied with
Value Driven Leadership
• What sustains me is to be committed to the Business of the one who has employed me and to carry it through to completion.
• This is what occupies my time, my space, my life.
Value Driven Leadership
Jesus defines thisLuke 16:12
12 "And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
Growth through Developing People
The Jesus Way
Jesus’ Character• Integrity : Is making a promise to yourself
and others and keeping it.• Maturity : Is to align yourself to someone
elses’ vision and making it happen.
• Abundance Mentality
Value Driven Leadership
Characteristics of Integrity• Faithful : Decisive• Fulfilled : Delivers• Focused : Directed
People who are faithful,fulfilling and focused
are people who can be trusted
Value Driven Leadership
The Key to maturity is:• ALIGNMENT• Being willing to align yourself to the task of
someone else and to be passionate about it.• If you cannot serve someone else‘s vision,
how will you be able to have someone else passionately serves yours.
Value Driven Leadership
3. Abundance MentalityJohn 10:1010 "The thief does not come except to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
• Abundantly; extravangantly: profusely;more than enough.
• Superabundant in quantity and superabundance in quality. More than is necessary
• High level of quality and abundance.• Jesus offers the best and the most.
Value Driven Leadership
Eph 3:2020 Now to Him who is able to do
exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
• Power : Dunamis:• The ability that is inherent inside due to the
nature of the person or thing.• Example : The Rhino; The Elephant; the ant;
the mouse, what is the difference? They are all living creatures. Each possesses the quality of life.
Value Driven Leadership
The DifferenceIt is the power
inherent in their nature.
Value Driven Leadership
The Nature of Jesus• We are endowed with the nature of someone
with whom all things are possible.• We are partakers of His divine Nature.
(1 Peter 1:4)• Jesus has an abundance mentality
Value Driven Leadership
Leaders with an abundance Mentality1. They do not see a competition with only one winner, they
see a vast field of opportunity.(Luke 9:49)2. They never compare themselves with others.(2 Cor 10:12)3. They are excited about the successes of others. (Luke
10:21)4. They see others who are better than them, as teachers and
friends and not as competitors or enemies (John 14:12)
Value Driven Leadership
The 2nd area is Capacity to Complete• Many leaders are focused on Competing
rather than completing.• There are three areas that needs to be given
attention with regards to capacity, they are– Skills– Vision– Team focused on “US” or Corporate strength
Value Driven Leadership
Skills : Jesus as our exampleMark 7:3737 And they were astonished beyond
measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
He has done all things well!• Things done excellently promotes the organisation
or the quality of the institution or the Church is known throughout the earth. Excellence will take you from Local to International. (Isaiah 12:5)
• An Excellent Spirit will give you as a leader promotion to the next level increasing your levels of authority. (Dan 6:3)
Value Driven Leadership
The Opposite of excellence is slothfulness
Prov 18:99 He who is slothful in his work
is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
Skills will bring successEccl 10:10
10 If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success.
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
VisionHeb 12:22 looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(NKJ)
Value Driven Leadership
Great Leadership always leads with…• The end in sight : the bigger picture• The understanding that the bigger picture
determines the choice of the team• The insight of knowing that the bigger picture
determines the length of the journey.• The understanding that the bigger picture is
what develops focus and determination to continue.
Value Driven Leadership

Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." (NKJ)

might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,
