PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM

Tayo Onaleye

John 20.1-4

Team building is a major function of leadership. And broadly speaking, there can just be only two types of people on any team: those who are running with the vision and those who are not.

It takes running to actualize any vision.

Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said,Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Only those who are running with the vision will help actualize it.

Those on the team who are not running with the vision will eventually ground it.

Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Running with the vision symbolises PASSION.

Hence only those who are passionate about the vision will actually pay the price to see it materialise.

Every vision faces challenges. Only those who are passionate about the vision will stick with it for the long haul. Those who are not passionate about the vision fall off easily when the going gets tough.

This is what happened to Jesus.

Jesus had people who were so passionate about the kingdom that they literally ran because of Him.

John 20. 1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2 Then she RUNNETH, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4 So THEY RAN BOTH TOGETHER: and the other disciple did out RUN Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

Jesus had people who were running with the vision.

No wonder over two thousand years after he had left the impact of His life and ministry is still being felt.

There were people who ran with His message then.

And there are people who are still running with it now .

No organisation can rise above the capacity of people who are running with the vision of that organisation.....People who are passionate about it.

Are you recruiting? Watch out for passion.

Are you evaluating your staff? Check for passion.

Don't fill your team with people who are not ready to run.

Fill it with runners.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd. He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...
