The Burdens we can carry.

Hi everyone, the aim of this blog is to help you let go of some of the burdens, and self-doubt that you carry around and that weigh you down.  This time we are giving you part of our BWYCBiC training programme that we have delivered to hundreds of Christians.  The vast majority have seen breakthroughs after completing the exercise we are giving you and it is our hope and prayer that you have a breakthrough.

A good place to start is with a scripture from the bible which I have no doubt all heard, however, this fabulous scripture has made a real impact in your life.  For many, I would guess not.

“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).

The word burden comes from the Greek word baros which means a weight. When you put those together, to bear a burden means to take away or carry off the weight off your or someone else is experiencing.

Ok let’s be realistic from time to time depending on circumstances we all carry some sort of burden and for some of us w let them go and feel lighter.  What I am talking about is those people especially Christians carry burdens around with them all most if not all the time. 

When we delivered our training program to Christians it is surprising how many people recognize what we are about to share and how much lighter they felt afterwards, We hope that what you are about to undertake has a positive impact on you.

Time to end myopic leadership

Why this subject, simply that some leaders I have personally come across in the church, don’t lead, they dictate.

This is not about a person’s faith nor their relationship with God, it is about the lack of leadership skills, an inability to communicate effectively (it’s not about a sermon) and understand people and the lack of ability to transform a church into an effective body. 

A leader in my view should take the lead from Moses how he coached Joshua to lead, developing him in order that he grew, in this case to lead Israel into the Promised Land.  Also Nehemiah how he used what we call now action centred leadership to bring people together in order to build the walls of Jerusalem  These two simple examples are in total opposition to what I have witnessed, leaders, holding on to the first part of Hebrews 13:17 “obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them”, woe betide anyone who suggested that there is another way for they found themselves ostracized and as the some of the worst leaders in history have said “ there is only one way, my way”!!  Update, it is still in the church today and has no place in the church today.
