I Am a Leader: Speech and Life

The Bible says in 1 Timothy 4:12 that you are never too young to be a leader. Even teens have the ability to lead in a Godly way and change lives for the glory of God. There are many ways that people can be examples of God's goodness, here are two: life and speech.

Speech

Our words have so much power. They can create life or death (Proverbs 18:21). We must fall in love with words of life and use them ever day in every way. For example, if you know someone who needs to be healed, talk about how Jesus is our healer. By speaking life, you can open the door to be able to pray with someone, and they can receive a miracle! Isn't it amazing that God can use our words as the gateway for someone else to receive from Him?!
  • What you say matters
  • What you say is what you get
  • Watch what you say because it has an impact 

Life

Our lives are walking visual aids of the power of God, or a living example of Him. If we choose to live a life contrary to what the Bible tells us to do, we are choosing to lead for unrighteousness instead of righteousness. It is important to choose life in Christ so our lives are leading toward good things.
  • Your life is important, so lead like it is, 1 Peter 2:9
  • God has called YOU
  • Live a life that is worthy to God, Romans 12:2
Your life is valuable because your life can save others; 
your life can save others because your life reflects Jesus.

  1. this discipleship is about 1 Timothy 4:12 and how we are NEVER too young to serve God. A 5 year old can have faith that can impact a 20 year olds life just by saying something about God through their perspective
    Everyone has a dream but not everyone can accompish their dreams because they dont go out and DO it
    If your dream is to be a millionaire then if you give tithes and offering then God can start storing up your millions RIGHT now because you are getting an early start when you are young, so dont let people tell you that you cant because YOU CAN DO ANYTHING GOD WANTS YOU TO DO.
    Dont let anyone look down on you because you are young means:
    Live your life for God regardless of what people say and then set an example in every part of your life
    (if you set an example in every part of your life then that can show poeple that they shouldnt look down on young people because they have potetntial because in the bible it talks about how you musrt have the faith of a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, so instead of looking down on us you should try to have the same kind of faith as us)
    Speech-
    1. What you say is important (Proverbs 18:21)
    If someone called you stupid then you begin to realize all the bad things about yourself and can cause you to think that you are stupid but The Bible says "But we have the mind of Christ" so its not true, but the words have an impact on you because if you speak life, life comes
    if you speak death, death comes so you should speak life over yourself and other
    2.What you say is what you get (Matthew 21:21)
    Even when bad things happen dont cuss, talk down on yourself, and especially on other people
    speak life into yourself
    speak blessings over your life
    rebuke evil in your life
    Life-
    1. You life is important(1 Peter 2:9)
    since your life is important then you should use your life to lead and help others have a life like yours
    2. God called each and every person to do something fror him, so you can do what you really want to do because God wouldnt call you to do something you dont want to do, so YOU CAN DO IT God has called you so that means you can chase your dreams and fulfill your God given calling
    3.Live in a way that is worthy of God (Romans 12:2)
    God is a HUGE part of your life, so you should make sure your life is worthy of God, also if your life is worthy of GOd then people will see it and they will see that you are happy (because of God) and they will want what you have too
    Today i learned a lot,and realized how big of an impact our lives really do have also i had fun with the game and preparing set ideas for LEAD and Leadership month in JoyZone and Chosen

    Also, Miss Jade told us to remeber this important phrase that really cn help us understand why are lives matter so much and it really does have valuea in GOds eyes:
    Your life is valuable because your life can save others and your life can save other because your life reflects Jesus

    People will accept Jesus by seeing your life because your life will look like a light in all the darkness

  2. Discipleship:
    1 Timothy 4:12
    follow the right people to become a leader. You are never too young to be a leader or to follow God. We can be an example. Everybody has a dream. If you don't follow the right people it wont happen.All you have to do is do it. You got to start now. your not too young to pursue your dreams. God will do wonderful things in your life if you choose to follow him. He can begin to store up your millions of dollars now. let noone look down on you because you are young but...

    Set an example in:

    SPEECH: What you say is important if you call people mean names, it matters. It sticks with them and they start to think that about themselves. your words have so much power. Don't be somebody that puts people down. Proverbs 18:21 the power of life and death is in your tongue. What you say is what you get. if you constantly speak negative your life will become negative. you will get what you speak over yourself. so confess blessings over your life and others. DON'T CUSS!!! its pointless anyway. it wont change anything. it will make you so different that the people around you will begin to change. Speak life and blessings. Rebuke evil and fear.

    LIFE: we are chosen by God to show off his glory in this dark world. Your life is important. 1 Peter 2:9 live in a way that is worthy of God. Romans 12:2 let your life be worthy of God. Your life is valuable because it can save others and it can save others because it is a reflection of Jesus. If you live your life right you will make other people want to live for Jesus just like you because they will see how blessed you are because of it.

    I enjoyed today's discipleship and i cant wait for tomorrow!

  3. Yesterday at discipleship i learned.
    SPEECH:What you say is important what other people say has an impact. Don't pout people down. Proverbs 18:21 the power of life and death is in your tongue. What you say is what you get so speak life and blessings, and rebuke evil and fear.

    LIFE: Live in a way that is worthy of God. Your life is valuable because your life can save others and your life can save others because your life reflects Jesus.

    Discipleship was really fun!
