  2. DAY 1

  3. THE EMERGING LEADER • newly formed, prominence, something that stands out • 1 Cor 14:15 – Many Teachers but few fathers • 1 John 2:13 – father’s you have known Him from the beginning • Mal 4:5-6 – Restoration of the fathers to society

  4. THE EMERGING LEADER NEGATIVE EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP Lucifer’s Rebellion (Eze 28:15-17) Took 1/3 of angels with him. (Isa 14:12-14, Jude 1:6) Korah, Datha and Abiram (Num 16:2-3) They exist in churches today: Being divided over doctrine, offenses. Balaam has authority and power with God, but heart was not circumsized(Num 31:16) – corrupted leadership

  5. THE EMERGING LEADER POSITIVE EXAMPLES OF LEADERSHIP Daniel (Dan 1:8) chose to be set apart, not to be defiled. He desired the intimacy with God. because they chose to be set apart God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams(Daniel 1:17) Dan 2: - God gave Daniel the wisdom to be able to interpret the dream for the king. Deborah (Judges 4:2-5) rallied a nation to victory Hannah (1 Sam 1:5-6, 11, 13-14, ) Emerging leadership bears a cost. For a samuel to come forth, it cost Hannah much.

  6. THE EMERGING LEADER • NEHEMIAH = Comforted One • INTERCESSORY PRAYER LIFE OF A LEADER • IMPORTANCE OF ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY • POWER OF FORGIVENESS

  7. THE EMERGING LEADER INTERCESSORY PRAYER LIFE OF A LEADER Neh 1:3 – Nehemiah came under the burden of God and begin to intercede that the will of God be done Neh 1:4 – A true fast (Isa 58:6) The Lord’s Prayer: Matt 9:15

  8. THE EMERGING LEADER IMPORTANCE OF ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY Neh 1:6 – Nehemiah identifies with the sins and transgressions of the people. The emerging leader - one who will identify with the sin of the people, accepting responsibility as the true priest and going before God on behalf of the people. Gen 3:11-12 – Right from the beginning, man was shifting the blame. Rev 12:10 – The enemy is the fault finder/accuser Luke 22:42 – Jesus bearing sin for us. Not my will but thine be done.

  9. THE EMERGING LEADER • THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS • Matt 18:21-22 – To forgive seventy times seven • Dan 9:2- • Jer 24:6-7 – A heart that knows God’s heart. • Dan 9:20-23 – Daniel assumes responsibility and comes before God and he gets a revelation from God • Dan 9:24-27 – 70 weeks to make an end to sin. • 7 weeks – command for restoration • 62 weeks – to the time where Christ died on the cross. • 1 week – Anti Christ, Tribulations • If we do not have the ability to forgive, it stifles the hand of God.
