Leadership CUP with Dewey KKIM/KARS/SHINE DDC

Dear KKIM/KARS/SHINE Family,

 

I have been praying on what to write you this morning……I posted some news stories at www.newmexiconewsandviews.com on the darkness in our society.

 

Pastor Steve Smothermon on New Mexico News and Views made the call out to all of us for the Body of Christ to get involved in issues in our government and country!

 

Pastor Leonard Navarre is always saying, don’t give in, don’t compromise, stand strong in the Lord!

 

How can we, as the Body of Christ ever Compromise the Word of our Lord?

 

For those who say the Church should not be involved…I say HOGWASH!

 

Look at just happened in the state of New York…….The Gov. signed the same sex marriage bill.

I do what I do to serve my Lord…..My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus Acts 20:24

 

I am getting emails of love from many of you to slow down…….I am thankful for your love but now more than ever is not the time to slow down, full speed ahead in the work the Lord has assigned us, seeking his Will everyday for our lives. I will work at this till I am called home.

 

The Lord put us all here for such a time as this…..

 

This is from John Maxwell’s leadership Bible……..

 

One of the greatest tests of leadership is how you handle opposition. Nehemiah faced the usual tactics of the opposition: ridicule Neh. 4:1-3, resistance 4:7,8 and rumor 4:11,12. Nehemiah modeled the right response to all three of these challenges. He……

 

Relied on God 4:4,5

 

Respected the opposition 4:9

 

Reinforced his weak points 4:13

 

Reassured the people 4:14

 

Refused to quit 4:15

 

Renewed the people’s strength continually 416-23

 

While Nehemiah 4 concerns problems from without, chapter 5 deals with problems from within—-disputes about food, property, and taxes.

Persistence is the ultimate gauge of our leadership; the secret is to outlast our critics. Nehemiah taught us this lesson by staying committed to his ultimate calling.

 

My prayer today is that you will be engaged in the actions of our Government……for our Children and their Children……..

 

Most if all for Our Lord!

 

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
