Matthew 26:8
8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
• Sacrifice is different than reasonable service.
• God is prompting us to do something that is over and above what we would normally do.
• Most Christians will not even do reasonable service, for example, witnessing, tithing, etc.
• When you commit to becoming a successful G12 leader, it is a sacrifice. You open your home, call and visit.
• God is calling us to sacrifice.
• Sacrifice is always linked to a great reward.
• God is not going to bless you the way He wants to when you are just operating at a mediocre level.
• We must never cry about sacrificing.

• Sacrifice is a big word for big people.
• People that do not want to sacrifice will talk against you sacrificing.
• Our blessings come from us stretching ourselves.
• A rubber band will not reach its potential until it is stretched.

• Sacrifice never goes unrewarded.
• If we want big things to happen, we need to do something big.
Acts 4:34-35
34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

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.

Reading from Chapter 8, “You Are the Leader”
• Our first job is to help our disciples to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

• 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.

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

• It takes a supernatural leader to deal with supernatural things.

• 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.

6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
• Walk in Him means we need to learn everything about Him.
• If we were actors we would learn everything about the person we wanted to portray.
• Walk is a command, an action word.
• “The wind of adversity in your life will determine the depth of your roots.” Phillip Goudeaux
• We all get attacked. If you are a believer, you are either going through or coming out of an attack.
• When we come out of an attack our roots should be stronger.
• If our roots are exposed when we are going through something, it shows a lack of depth.
• We should not allow discouragement, disappointment, temptations, tests, or trails to weaken our faith.
• A believer’s root should be growing each day.
• A tree that only gets surface water will not have strong roots.
• Reading the Bible and studying out words strengthens our roots.
• Abound with thanksgiving means not complaining. Talking about your situation will not cause you to abound. Don’t give glory to negative things in your life.
Colossians 1:9-10
9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
• Walk, live, and conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Lord.
• Our job is to work on ourselves. When we are working on ourselves, we are more forgiving of others because we understand the challenges we all face.
• We need to focus on ourselves. When we focus on ourselves, we get benefits.
• Bearing fruit means we are steadily growing and developing fuller and deeper insight.
• You cannot walk worthy without the Holy Spirit.
• Men/women have issues. We have to have the power of God in order to overcome insecurities, etc.
• The Holy Spirit is the empowering agent to aid and assist us.

• Men/women need to know how to raise standards.
