*THE THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE IN EVERY TEAM*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The Lord said to Gideon, "You have too many warriors with you. If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the Israelites will boast to me that they saved themselves by their own strength. Therefore, tell the people, 'Whoever is timid or afraid may leave this mountain and go home.'" So 22,000 of them went home, leaving only 10,000 who were willing to fight."* (Judges 7:2-3 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
IN every group, ministry, church, organization, etc who are out to achieve one mission or the other, you will find at least three kinds of people that make up its ranks and membership.
The story of Gideon gives us a good picture and understanding of these kinds of people and the traits or tendencies they possess. It is good to explore this lesson to know these types of people. If you identify yourself with certain traits that you don't think is appropriate, you have what it takes to un-learn those unlikable tendencies and attitude and rather learn the winning ways.
Let's begin with the first kind of people you will find in any group, church, organization or team.
*1. The Timid and Fearful Types:*
These ones are usually too careful or too fearful or too timid. They don't usually believe in possibilities. Rather, they see difficulties, risks, problems, and impossibilities.
They are quick to throw in the towel. They are quick to give up. They are usually the first to change from one unit to another, at the slightest provocation. They are the first to take a walk when the goings gets tough. They don't see the need to ride on the storms, iron out issues peaceably, or keep going against the odds. Once there is a shaking, they are the first to fly off, with an attitude of good riddance to bad rubbish at times.
Don't be like that. If you must be a part of a team, don't be among those that quit at the slightest sound of inconvenience, risk or danger. Don't also be among those that quit at the slightest opportunity to drop out of the race.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Leadership is not only about keeping all in the race as much as possible, it is also about encouraging those who must quit the race/team, to do so as quickly as possible so they don't drag others back."*

*THE DEMANDS OF CONSECRATION*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out!"* (Proverbs 20:5)
_Bible Insight:_
I met this man of God at a Prayer camp in Abuja and while talking with him he told me how Satan nearly destroyed him.
Against his consecration, he once allowed a committed sister in his ministry to visit his house.He was alone that day. The girl had told him it was an emergency, a case of life and death so he allowed her come home.
Immediately she entered his parlour and realized he was home alone, she stripped off her clothes (stark naked), locked the door, took the key and demanded sex from the man. The man got offended and tried to rebuke her but she threatened him that she will shout. The man of God started begging her but she said "NO".
She said he had always waited for a day like that to come. The man got confused, but Prayed quietly in his spirit, and the Holy Ghost whispered to him. The Spirit of God asked him to enter the toilet and he ran in there immediately and shut the toilet door.
From the toilet window he saw a neighbor passing and had to call out to the neighbor and explained his dilemma. The neighbor knocked on the main parlour door that was locked by this Jezebel and she didn't know the man of God had already told the neighbor so she opened the door and the neighbor used a "necessary slap" to call the agent of darkness to order.
That was how the man got delivered from that hellish trap that could have destroyed his name and ministry.
After the man of God personally shared this ordeal with me, I became scared and vowed a vow of watchfulness forever.
Dear minister of the Gospel and Believers, Don't loosen your consecration because of emergencies. I have heard of people who fell into sexual sins because someone was crying and wiping the persons tears through compassion they got driven into unholy passion.
Don't lose your guard, Satan sets traps in all corners so just be watchful. Never ever allow yourself to be in a corner with an opposite sex. Don't trust your self or even your anointing. Anointing cannot help you, it failed Samson.
Just flee or Set Standards that will help your life.End unnecessary closeness with the opposite sex, whether you're married or not.
_MEDITATION:_
*"May unwatchfulness not cause Jezebel to hijack your Mantle. THE TIME IS NOW. It is time to draw wisdom and discipline from this spiritual Well through CONSECRATION."*

*THE POWER OF POSITIVE FEAR* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God"* (Genesis 42:18 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
"...For I fear God"
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV) counsels us as follows *"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."*
This is the WHOLE duty of man! That's to say, there is nothing that God expects of man than that MAN FEARS GOD and keeps his commandments!
Joseph could have gotten back at his siblings who maltreated him, left him for dead, and sold him off to slavery, but HE FEARED GOD!
Joseph could have slept with Potiphar's wife, but He FEARED GOD!
Joshua 24:14 (KJV) reminds us as follows: *"Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD."*
Every believer has crossed the floods and have escaped Egypt. Before the flood and within Egypt, you don't have need for the fear of God. No, you don't. Anything goes in Egypt and before the floods. But once you have crossed the floods of the red sea, and have escaped Egypt of worldliness, you MUST embrace the fear of God.
Mark this! The evidence that you have crossed the floods of the old man and escaped the corruption of Egypt, and slavery to sin, is the PRESENCE OF THE FEAR OF GOD IN AND UPON YOUR LIFE!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent."* (Acts 13:26 (KJV))

*RECEIVING THE TEACHINGS OF YOUR PASTOR*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And now we look back on all this and thank God, an artesian well of thanks! When you got the Message of God we preached, you didn't pass it off as just one more human opinion, but you took it to heart as God's true word to you, which it is, God himself at work in you believers!"* (1 Thessalonians 2:13 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
You're being Pastored by words. These words are precious and divine. These words can become a blessing to you on earth or a curse. These words will justify or condemn you on the last day.
God put words in your Pastor to make your life with it. It's to your advantage if you know how to receive those words.
See how the Thessalonian Christians received the words of their Pastor:
1 Thessalonians 2:13
[13]For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, *when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,* which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
These Christians knew that the words from their Pastor was God's word, not his. That is the first thing you need to know and do if you'll maximally benefit from the teachings and instructions of your Pastor.
Don't wait for your Pastor to say, "thus say the Lord" before you take it seriously. It's not how he says it, it's how you received the words that matters.
Your Pastor is standing in for God. He is pastoring you on behalf of the chief shepherd - Jesus Christ (1Pet. 5:4). Disdaining or commonising his words is directly insulting Jesus (Matt. 10:40).
Because this set of Christians took their Pastors words just like they would if God was to appear physically and talk to them, we're told the word worked effectually in them.
Jesus had 12 close disciples. They all listened to Him but they received the words and teachings differently. Judas ended up as a thief and the others as great Apostles (Acts 4:13).
They attended the same Church with the same Pastor but ended differently. *It's not how the Pastor is teaching, it is how you're receiving what is being taught.*
You cannot be blessed by a Church and Pastor whose teachings you don't revere. This is why some in Church are stagnant and are becoming frustrated while many others are enjoying quantum growth and increase.
Learn something from the Thessalonian Christians today and see your progress become tangible.
_MEDITATION:_
*"You won't gain anything resisting the words of your Pastor like Joanne's and Jambres (2Tim 3:8), Alexander the coppersmith (2Tim 4:15). Don't be an Elymas (Acts 13:8) instead be a Thessalonian.*
