LORD JESUS AND HIS FOLLOWERS

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

( John 15:15)

AVOID PLAYING POLITICS

People who rely on Production People who rely on politicsDepend on how they grow Depend on who they know

Focus on what they do Focus on what they sayBecome better than they appear Appear better than they are

Provide substance Take shortcutsDo what’s necessary Do what’s popular

Work to control their own destiny Let others control their destiny Grow into the next level Hope to be given the next level

Base decisions on principles Base decisions on opinions

SAFE GUARDS AGAINST FALLING INTO THE TRAP OF PLAYING POLITICS:

Avoid gossip.Stay away from arguments.

Stand up for what is right, not just for what is popular.Look at all sides of the issues.

Don’t protect your turf.See the big picture.

Always tell the truth.

Great people talk about ideas,

average people talk about themselves,

and small people talk about others.

HAMAN’S END

He misunderstood the heart of his leader.He lost joy over little problems.

He was desperately insecure.He burned with envy.

He would do anything to win.He listened to the wrong people.He thought too highly of himself.

He reaped what he sowed.

EXPAND YOUR CIRCLE OF ACQUAINTANCES

Ask your friends to introduce you to their friends.

Connect with people who have expertise in fields other than yours.

Go out of your way to meet people who have strengths different than yours.

Expand beyond your personal prejudices.Extend beyond your routine.
