READING from Successful Leadership through the Government of 12 by Cesar Castellanos
Exodus 18:20
20And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
• We must examine ourselves and make sure we are always doing the things that God has commanded us to do.
• We must be on guard and not allow ourselves to be drained, depleted, and destroyed.
Read John 17 every day for one week.
Reading from Chapter 8, “You are the Leader” - Attributes that Distinguish a Leader of Twelve
He is recognized by His Team as a Person of Faith
• His or her group is doing something. Faith is always moving.
• Faith is trusting leadership.
He is Faithful to the Message he Communicates
• As leaders, we must first be partakers. You cannot expect someone to do something if you are not doing it.
• We must be faithful to the message we are communicating.
“I cannot over emphasize the importance of prayer.” Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• The more time we spend with the Lord, the greater leader we will be.
• We need to spend time worshipping. There should not be a day that goes by that we don’t pray for our twelve.
• We should pray for the peace of God, health, divine protection, and that God will use us to be a bold and powerful witness.
• We need to make a difference in our homes, jobs, and community.
Ezekiel 22:30
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
• We should pray for and honor leaders that are promoting the Kingdom of God.
G12 Life Group Notes– June 13, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
Jeremiah 51:20
20Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
• We must spend time praying with our disciples.
• “With thee” means we are workers together with God.
Jeremiah 1:10
10See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
• This scripture tells us how God has set us over Life Groups, etc.
Jeremiah 1:19
19And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
• We will not be without challenges.
• Memorize this scripture.

READING from Successful Leadership through the Government of 12 by Cesar Castellanos
Exodus 18:20
20And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
• All of us are leaders and this scripture is our commandment.
• The four key elements are: 1following God’s ordinances, 2laws, 3the way we must walk, 4and the work we must do.
• Our G12 meetings should reflect these principles.
Deuteronomy 5:33
33Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
• Everything God has commanded us to do we should be working on.
• You are either moving forward or sliding backwards.
• Live long and prosper can be shown in your home, on your job, etc.
Successful Leadership through the Government of 12
Reading from Chapter 8, “You Are the Leader”
• Our first job is to help our disciples to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• There are qualifications we should have as leaders.
• We want to do what Jesus did, and that is to magnify God.
QUALITIES OF A LEADER
1. He or she is recognized as a person of faith.
2. He or she is faithful to the message he or she communicates.
3. He or she is honored by the fruit of his or her twelve.
• “You cannot operate in the supernatural and exercise authority and dominion if you are natural.” Pastor Goudeaux
• No matter what group you have you will always have some differences. There are spirits that will try to keep them from being faithful and get them into sin.
• The leaders must operate in the supernatural and deal with the spirits that are attacking his or her twelve.
• It takes a supernatural leader to deal with supernatural things.
G12 Life Group Notes– June 6, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
I Corinthians 12:8-9
8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
• The Holy Spirit gives supernatural gifts.
• The faith the scripture talks about is not faith by hearing, but “special faith.”
• We need to ask God to give us a discerning spirit regarding people so we can know what issues our disciples are dealing with. We can then help them to stay on track.
• There are spirits that try to keep us from being productive that we must come against.
• Our G12 groups should be a brotherhood or sisterhood. We should be pushing and encouraging one another.
