CHANGE YOUR
WORLD IN 52 DAYS
THE LEADER IN YOU
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD, YOU DON’T
HAVE TO BE THE BEST, YOU JUST
HAVE TO CARE THE MOST.
God specializes in using ordinary people.
To change the world you have to see yourself as a leader, equipped and empowered
by God.
A “CHANGE YOUR WORLD” LEADER
Three thoughts of a world-changing leader.
A “CHANGE YOUR
WORLD”LEADER :
DEFINES THE MISSION CLEARLY
NEHEMIAH 1:11
O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who
delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence
of this man." I was cupbearer to the king.
NEHEMIAH 2:4-5
4 The king said to me, "What is it you want?"
Then I prayed to the God of heaven,
NEHEMIAH 2:4-5
5 and I answered the king, "If it pleases the king and if
your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my fathers are buried so thatI can rebuild (the wall)."
WHAT IS GOD LEADING YOU
TO DO?
If you can’t define it, YOU CAN’T DO IT.
A “CHANGE YOUR
WORLD”LEADER :
MAKES PLANS
CAREFULLY
NEHEMIAH 2:6-8
6 … It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time. 7 I also said to him, "If it
pleases the king,
NEHEMIAH 2:6-8
may I have letters to the governors of
Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me
safe-conduct until I arrivein Judah?
NEHEMIAH 2:6-8
8 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's forest, so he will give me
timber to make beams for the gates…and for the city wall
and for the residence I will occupy?"
If you've failed to plan, you plan
to fail.
- John Maxwell
Nehemiah makes two very specific requests to the king:
NEHEMIAH 2:7
… “If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of
Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me
safe-conduct until I arrivein Judah?”
NEHEMIAH 2:8
“If it pleases the king, may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's forest, so he will
give me timber to make beams for the gates…and for the city
wall and for the residence I will occupy?"
God works as much in your preparation as how he does
in your presentation.
A “CHANGE YOUR
WORLD”LEADER :
INSPIRES PEOPLE
PASSIONATELY
NEHEMIAH 2:17-18
17 Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been
burned with fire.
NEHEMIAH 2:17-18
Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we
will no longer be in disgrace.“
NEHEMIAH 2:17-18
18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God
upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
John Wesley said:
Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.
John Wesley said:
And you don't have to be the best, you just have to have a heart that breaks for the things that break the heart of God.
