 Okay, good morning everyone. Welcome to a new week. Hope you had a good weekend All refreshed for this new week of classes Let's begin this time of the word of prayer Samuel, is it okay if you can lead us in prayer, please? Sure, Pastor Heavenly Father, we thank you for this time. We thank you for your abundant grace Your blessings You're calling for our lives. We dedicate this time and ourselves into your hands We dedicate your servant first of all in manual into your hands. We dedicate today's lesson as we learn about Marketplace ministry as we learn about how do we manage ourselves in work? What does your word tell us? How do we? manage leadership How do we manage ourselves? Give us the wisdom insights to know your will your word and your guidance for us This and everything we ask in the name of Jesus Amen, thank you, Samuel. Amen All right so last week we looked at chapter 13 on leadership and Some of the important points I just shared this and then we'll get into the next chapter We looked at how as leaders if we don't see the vision, we won't be able to lead other people there Jesus himself said The blind cannot lead the blind so as leaders we must have Something in our minds or that vision should be ahead a picture of what you want to see Maybe yourself or even the organization You know in a couple of years time or so so it's always good to have that in our mind as leaders Then we looked at Maintaining proper heart attitudes, right? We can have the vision. We can have a wonderful call of God upon our lives But in spite of all that we can fall if we don't have the right heart attitude So we looked at three attitudes One was servant hood Lord Jesus was the epitome of of you know, this whole aspect of servant hood He he led by example He said I've come to serve and not to be served right and to we looked at Passion a passion to No, a leader should have a passion Expressed in enthusiasm Passionate about the work or the ministry that he is doing he or she is doing and so that's very important Proverbs says don't burn out meaning don't let that You know fuel that furnace of that fire inside let it not burn out Keep fueling it right and the third one we looked at was self-control As leaders we must be self. We must have self-control now Especially with the fact that you know As leaders nobody is checking up on us Nobody's gonna, you know, for example, if you're a pastor or you know a youth leader Not many people are gonna check up on you, but we must hold certain standards We must be able to look at our work look at our productivity look at our own personal lives and make sure that we are not Going away from the word of God and so we looked at many other points Demonstrate and emphasize be real be down to earth. Our attitude is what is important We must make sure that we have the right attitude You know another important point we looked at was as leaders we must first act First meaning we must first do things and then expect our team members to do it, right? And give honest feedback now, this is a very interesting point because especially in ministry Sometimes we feel You know, I don't want to give this person this feedback. What if they feel bad? What if they don't take it the right way? What if they leave the church or leave the ministry? I Personally had those thoughts initially, right? What if I Give them this feedback and they don't take it the right way. What if they don't come back to church? You know, so many times I held back But I realized one thing over the course of Time and you know studying God's word learning. I realize that when our identity is in Christ Now it is God who brings people to us It is the Lord who brings adds numbers to the church, right? And and yes, there will be times We have to give honest feedback, right now Especially in ministry if we don't do it, what will happen is it will be in a place where there's unproductivity There will be in a place where? you know, we're just letting things go by or Programs and events and work is just going by and we're not seeing any productivity So we will be at fault as leaders. So it's very important to give honest feedback There will be people who will take it the right way. There will be people who will get really offended But but be assured that it's good to give honest feedback Correction and feedback should be timely as well, right? So We need to understand how to give feedback and in the right time in the right way, right? Then we also looked at guarding against, you know complacency I don't I'm not sure if I've gone to this point where we the point where we stay away from women and wine now great leaders have gone up the ladder and With a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication But these two things can bring Leaders down Women and wine now for for women it could be men and wine as well, right? So God against these two, right if your marriage stay faithful Always maintain a healthy relationship a healthy distance from other women Now it may sound like, you know, okay, why are we talking about this? But These are important things And and it's very sad to hear of Ministries around us where these wonderful leaders have grown up and you know, they've done a wonderful established a wonderful ministry but because of you know wrong relationships and women in the community or or even alcohol and you know pleasures of this world They've indulged in it. Maybe just to try it out, but it has you know backfired on them and You know, it has really brought the ministry to a whole You know, I would say a whole standstill and this is very dangerous and There will be times there will be, you know, if you're in the corporate sector There will be times of social drinking. You know, you're going for a tea meeting. Everyone are drinking You can always drink, you know, a beverage Now people may mock you people may laugh at you. Hey, what what is this? You're not when drinking You know with us, you're not enjoying with us. We are in a team outing your wife's not here your children are not here Why don't you just have a drink? Stay away from it, right Choose probably a non-alcoholic beverage and drink it's all right Right, but don't go down that path Especially Especially times of you know, when there's when you feel vulnerable Let me give you some examples. There's this one time we had a office meeting when I was in the corporate sector and It was about 20 of us 20 or so we went to a resort because we had finished a whole You know very rough and very stressful three months and then we did well in that Quarter or and and so we decided we'll go to a rest resort and spend maybe two days there And so we went and when we went there, you know, it was just havoc, you know, everyone were like drinking and you know being all kinds of things and What hurt me the most was I began to see that members within our team, you know men and women were involving in Sexual intimacy, especially, you know in the time and you know, I know that they have family and small children Some of them have just been married And it was very painful to watch all of this and I Remember, you know, they all were saying hey Why did you even come if you if you decided not to do this? Why did you even come and I thought to myself? Yeah, why did I even come? But I respected my team leader my manager. So so I went But one thing was I did not involve myself in anything They ridiculed they mocked all that was alright, but I was assured now the thing was I was not married Right, I was I was not married. I was still a bachelor And I could have you know, I could have this had a couple of drinks. Nobody to question me My parents also wouldn't have questioned me as not married. I I could have involved with other women as well, but But I knew that there are principles That you know after becoming a believer there are certain principles that we must stand by And we must remember that God is watching us, right? So it's not like God is only in the church and we have to behave well in the church. No And I remember after the whole Meeting and all this sorry after the whole Outing that we had we went back home and it was the following week when people came back to office and there was this weird silence in our team Right Those who were very friendly with each other were not talking to each other. That's why I asked them. Hey, what's happening? Why is everyone so quiet? and You know, I realized why they were quiet there was guilt in their heart because they went back home Probably they saw their wife and their children and they remembered what happened in the resort and There was guilt and they didn't speak to each other for a long time. And so You know, the book of Proverbs gives us a lot of instructions on how to stay away from You know women and wine. It's only going to take us to a path of destruction Right, especially in this time that we look at now where you know There's this new there are new doctrines would say that it's okay to drink The Bible doesn't say that we should not drink or the Bible does not say that we should not smoke You know all these excuses which don't really make sense, but I personally know of You know a couple of pastors in the city Who are who drink right? I personally know that they say it's all right It's all right because there's sometimes it's so much stress listening to all of them's problems and troubles and difficulties he listened to them the whole time and We get stressed out and so to relieve that stress can have a couple of drinks There are people right and and they feel that it's okay one pastor mentioned to me that Manga I'll just get to you. I'll just say this one pastor mentioned to me that Even Jesus drank wine and so he related something to that and it didn't make sense at all. So we as Leaders must set the example. We must set the bar high, right? Yes. Go ahead, man. Yes, man. He did you raise it? Yes, yes, I did go ahead. Thank you. Thank you very much First of all after for just for that pasta say that yes to raise the bar for drinking and My question is Okay, I understand that Cultures and The different different places for example here all the one almost 90 or 90 percent best night and 25 percent of wine farmers all believers and They are more wine here than than water so people are not of water and there's wine everywhere and There's a culture here of Lunchtime when you're having lunch You love lunch with a glass of wine or when like there's a social gathering or believer Just like for example a man a group man's group in the church will meet they The the drink a beer or a glass of wine while while discussing or while while while praying so How do we handle? situation like those away Alcohol yeah, it's not seen as is bad and drinking being getting drunk is seen in in this bed, but Social the drinking is not it's not this bad. Thank you. Yeah, that's a good question. Mangi Yeah, I had those same thoughts. I had those same questions as well But but it's very important to look at what the Bible teaches us now The Bible teaches us that once we are in Christ The Holy Spirit we become the temple of the Holy Spirit, right? And when the when the Holy Spirit is in us Again Paul writes in so many places. He says I've been crucified with Christ. So my sin everything is crucified with Christ, but in terms of Social drinking now I understand that different cultures have different, you know Practices and you know, I remember was talking to my brother who's In a different country and he was saying that they had a youth meet and they gave everyone a slice of pizza and a can of beer and He was taken aback, you know, of course, he you know, he also used to drink earlier on But he was taken aback. Why do they give this, you know But everyone it was it was common. So he just everyone just open began to drink and And especially in a nation like ours in India, if that happens, it's like, oh, you know, everything is done in secret in India, right? So it's not in the open. There are people there are pastors who involve in drinking and all of it But it's not in the open In different in different countries. It could be in the open, right? Because it's a culture there But the Bible says that we must avoid You know drinking and craving of alcohol You know because it has adverse effects on us and secondly it it it's against God's will it's against God's plan, right? So one of the things Maggie we can do is to abstain from it Now you may have 10 people coming to a youth meeting, right? Like what you were saying a men's group and they probably offer you beer You can stay you can set an example there, right? We can you can say I don't want to have this Right. No, so they're gonna ask you why so you say, okay Because this is what the word of God says and I want to keep myself holy and they they will begin to You know, they will begin to ask questions. Where does it say don't drink beer or where does it say it's in our culture? You can give as much as replies you would like to prepare yourself that way, you know with the right answers, but When you stand up or Step, you know stand out from among the others I'm sure out of the 10 at least one or two of them will think about it and maybe get back to you and say Hey, can you explain more about what you were saying, you know about drinking because see all of them are believers already Right. It's just that they don't understand this whole point of you know, don't drink so If you and I can set that example We may be touching two or three people in the group Right. Now if we look at the bigger picture, we may feel. Okay. It's the whole culture of this nation. How can I One person, you know change it But you can make an impact where we are Right, wherever we are You know, I remember this whole you know after that whole like I was sharing the whole holiday or that You know picnic that we had with our team. We came back. Everyone was so you know quiet and eventually what happened was there was a couple of Tough seasons coming up So they were looking for an associate team leader like an assistant team leader And all of them said let paul be the assistant team leader You know, so uh, it was quite kind of I I I didn't feel you know Very sad the way they treated me, but I went to god's word and I said god You will honor me You I am standing on your word. I am standing on your principles right uh I was just probably 26 25 or 26 and I said god. I'm standing on your principles Right. I'm standing and I know that you will honor me front of the people front of in in my workplace you will honor me and All these guys in the team who were you know, probably a seven years eight years Yeah in in the workplace. I was just probably a year or so in that company just a year They all said let paul be Now I was not qualified I didn't even know all the processes. These are these guys are all eight 10 years in the same company. I'm just one year They all said Let paul be the team leader. They saw something that day They saw that this guy is you know, probably just 25 26 years old He can do everything that he wants to do He can live he can drink he can you know engage with women he can do whatever he wants But he's not doing something. He's not doing all this Uh, of course in their drunken state, they didn't understand but Later on probably when they went to sleep and they laid their head on the pillow They thought about it and they said How come he didn't do it? so mangi it could be You could be setting an example there right, uh remember that If you Stand for certain principles others will learn from others will it will touch their lives If not all 10 of them and the men's group at least one or two of them would have noticed it They will get back to you that I assure you and eventually You can make progress Uh, eventually this whole thing of you know, uh having Uh, you know men's group or women's group and drinking together eventually it can be stopped But there are a lot of practices in our nation as well um, you know in india We had we went through a lot of things like I'm sure some of our folks will You know remember this during times when you know Uh, women should cover their hair and come for prayer. They don't they would be you know People would get so upset and there was a time when men and women had to sit separately Right, so we were very as a nation we Even now in certain places the men and women said separately women have to cover their hair Certain practices, right, but we can see there's a breaking off of all these things Right, you know, eventually slowly. We're seeing that. Hey, it's not about these practices It's about, you know, living a good life about Honoring god living in the holy spirit. All of this is important Uh, man. Yeah, I hope that answers your question, right? Yes, yes you did sir. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it's hard but Uh, I would encourage you man. You just you just do it a couple of times just Stand for your principles. I'm sure they're gonna maybe one or two of them If the holy spirit is working in them the holy spirit will make them And you know, one of the works of the holy spirit is to convict So he will convict them and they will get back to you saying, you know Hey, can you you know, tell me why you didn't drink? What is it that you feel? About, you know drinking I'm sure you'll be able to touch lives as well Say you have shared a couple of verses here Thank you. Say, uh, Isaiah five five twenty two. What are those who are mighty heroes at drinking wine and men of strength? Yeah, so there's there's a lot of verses The thing is, you know, uh, especially in corporate sector, we can't, uh, really, you know, quote, uh, You know, bible reference and give it to them Uh, but we need to show it in our ways, right in our life. Our life will speak so much more as well Right. Yeah. Thank you. Say for sharing those. All right. Let's go to, uh, chapter 14. We'll just quickly go through I'm sorry. Uh, what we'll do is we'll go to chapter 15 And if we have time at the end, uh, I just thought we'll go back to chapter 14 But uh, I was just thinking of customer relations chapter 15 Uh, and let's quickly look at this chapter to small chapter, but Very important, right? Now, I'm sure most of us working in the corporate sector Uh, you know, we hear of this customer relations, right? Uh, for example, we call the phone service company and we tell them, hey, what's happening? There's no network Uh, near our area. I'm not able to make calls. I'm not able to use my phone Uh, I'm not able to listen to, uh, go to youtube and listen or anything And imagine this, uh, you know, network service provider the the guy who or the person who picks the call says Okay, you have to wait, uh, you know Nothing's very fast and he speaks very rudely to who? What is the first thing that comes to your mind? At least for me, I would say this, uh, hey, this company is Uh, you know, there's something wrong with this company Uh, it's right But that one person may have had a terrible day may have got up with a headache his boss would have said You better come to work and he would have come and maybe you're the first call But remember that when we are Working in an organization whether it is church whether it's the corporate sector. We represent that organization Jesus himself said right Uh, you are the light of the world So just as jesus said, you know, he's the light. We are representing jesus in this world Right. So today, you just look at Certain aspects of customer relationships and how we also translated in ministry and see how important It is to have good relationships with our, uh, you know customers and even uh, if it's church Our church members, right? first point I'm sure uh before the going there. I'm sure those who are in church We have a team and apc banglow. We have a team called uh member care, right? It's a dedicated team that cares for members, right? And we'll talk about why it's important to uh, have this kind of a team involved Right. Okay. First point in customer relationships. Respond quickly Don't delay Proverbs chapter three was 27 and 28. Yes. Could one of us please read that? Proverbs three 27 and 28 Do not withhold goods from those to whom it is still When it is in the power Of your hand to do so Do not say to your neighbor go and come back And tomorrow I'll give it I'll give it When you have it with you. Thank you Yes, thank you. Kennedy right, so Respond quickly. Don't delay. What is extremely important in customer relations is Um, to have a good rapport Uh responding taking priority of activities. There would be times Uh, when as leaders in an organization or in a ministry, we must be willing to respond Put away other tasks and respond Quickly, right? Now, how do I translate this in ministry? Right As pastors, we may be very busy doing many things, you know, preparing for sermons praying and You know, talking to people preparing for events and all of this Now there may be somebody in the church who calls you and says pastor. I'm having a difficult time Can you please pray for me Now The wrong thing to the biggest mistake we can do is say hey, can Is as a leader or as a pastor telling that person, can I just call you back? I'm just in the middle of something or I'm in the middle of some work That would be the wrong thing to do why because, uh What is important the people are more important, right? Uh respond quickly Be alert don't delay things when you have that even when you don't have the time put aside Certain tasks and look after your people Look after the people whom god has placed under your care, right? I was reading this book. It said that Uh, I forget that whole name of the name of the book But the there was this portion which says that When the sheep don't get enough grass in one place they go to another place Right, uh, so god, you know the lord jesus, what did he tell peter? He said feed my lambs Feed them with the word be there for them Be like a shepherd and so as leaders we must be able to respond to our You know to our church members. We must keep that as priority Only after that comes events and programs and other Other responsibilities. This is first Of course after your family this looking after the people under your leadership is first now Imagine We delay things or we you know, uh intentionally look at okay We know that this person has called and there's a problem and we don't call them back We call them after a couple of days or after three days four days What what does it show? It shows that we are not Responsible enough or we don't care for our people Right. So caring for our members caring for our people under our leadership is very important Second point represent your organization accurately right now Let's read proverbs chapter 25 and verse 13 Proverbs 25 verse 13 Proverbs 25 verse 13. Yes, one of us, please I'll read it Like the call Of no in the time of harvest Is a faithful messenger those who sent him So he refused that for he refreshes The soul of his masters. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Kennedy, right Representing your organization accurately, right now when you are speaking to a customer in the corporate, right? When you're speaking to a customer represent your organization Correctly. Okay. This is what we stand for. This is what we do The next point says don't make false promises. We'll get there but Be a faithful messenger Right who represents the organization accurately now? I will share this this happened once where Many years back this This ministry Right Had, you know, they they we we were working with this ministry and This ministry said that we are an organization which helps in You know often edges and children and poor people and all of this So, uh, I remember I said, okay. Hey, uh, you know, I had no not much commitments. I was not Married at that time. So I said, okay, let me help this ministry And so I said, okay every month I'll just how much ever I can I'll just bless you It would be a small amount, but that's what I want to do. I'll bless you with a certain amount now A couple of months later Uh, you know, they would they would come home to collect the you know, the The offering or the money that was being contributed And then a couple of months later they uh, you know, as I began to speak with these people I realized that you know, they this this this is a This organization was being funded by many You know organizations from different nations as well But the person that I initially spoke to said, you know, we don't have anybody who support us We are just here and you know, we are starting from small But later on I got to know that there are people from You know, Australia and Canada and America who are supporting this organization And I was really hurt because the first time I spoke to this man He put up a whole picture that you know, this this children's home in an off and the destitute children are There's nobody. There's no money at all. There's no food You know, and I did promise to support them In a small way, but what is it? As a person he Represented the organization in a wrong way and I told these people, you know The first person who came and spoke to me. He said that we are not being You know, there was no food at times for the children and there was there was no no one to support the organization Even though we are a Christian organization. There was no no one to support then These people said no, no, we get support from other countries. It's not like we've never had food And I told them, you know, the first person who said that, you know, he He represented the organization inaccurately and of course, I didn't stop the You know contributing towards them, but From then on I became careful Right because I always make sure that I'm supporting the right cause in the right way Right, uh, don't make false promises next point Right if there are times as leaders, we can make promises which we don't intend to keep at all right now In these situations Don't make those promises Don't make false promises Right, it is true that sometimes there'll be situations when that happen Okay, I'm you know, you probably have to visit a family. You tell them Hey, Monday two o'clock. I'll come and meet you and they say, okay But if you know in your heart, oh Monday two o'clock, I'll be somewhere else then don't make those promises Right, uh When when you're unable to deliver on a certain promise Our integrity is questioned Right, so always make good promises now. We may think okay. How does this Follow-up for ministry. Yes. Yes, it does it does As leaders if you say to your team members Let's meet at five o'clock and you yourself know that you can't make it at five o'clock. I'll just give an excuse later I'll just say that, you know, there was traffic or you know, I had other things suddenly there's a new meeting I have to attend My boss is calling me if we know that Don't make false promises Right When you make certain promises Try your best to fulfill it Right Uh, otherwise don't make promises to it. There's no point of making false promises, right? This is one thing I learned. Um, you know in our church in mangrove We have a lot of elderly families like those who are retired and they expect us, you know to come spend time with them pray And you know spend time with them Because they're all retired their children are all in different countries So there are times that said no, I can't I can't come Right. They really wanted me. I said no, I can't come Because I learned that Making these false promises is not going to help anyone Right. And so now as a church, they know that if if pastor says he'll come he'll come if he says no It's a no Right. So there's no false promises And so, you know, you gain a lot of trust from the people in your team There would be times You know, there are crisis situations So you send your best man out to handle the crisis or you yourself go Right crisis situation happens You know remember this one time Some of them were upset with a youth leader, right? Uh and The pastor was not involved at all. This is not an apc somewhere else and the pastor was not involved He said, okay I Let them handle it But then a time came he had to Step in he had to make sure that You know, the right solution has to be found for this problem. And so By the time he went and tried to handle the situation the situation was even worse than what it was in the beginning Right. So when we know that there's a crisis Send the right people The right man the best man to handle the situation Right. Stay calm Even when there are unreasonable demands Proverbs chapter 20 and verse 14 Uh, let's read that proverbs 20 and verse 14 Proverbs 20 verse 14. Yes Proverbs 20, yeah Yeah, yeah, I can see it The customer the customer the customer always complains that the price is too high But when he goes off and press about the against he got Yeah, so thank you, Kennedy. So just talking about you know, uh The unspoken rule the customer is king now When we look at You know in the corporate sector Sometimes they make unreasonable demands Right, uh, customers may make they may say, okay, you you give this to me for 50% of the price right, uh And we may get upset. So what are you talking about? How can I do that? You know now the right way to handle these kind of place is to stay calm and we can't say, uh, you know, I'm not running a uh, you know non-profit organization here Or I'm not running a charity home to just that's a wrong way to get back at people but let the customer speak Stay calm even when they make unreasonable demands now There were times when even in ministry, right? You know that a person is wrong Right, there will be times, you know, this person is wrong. He did something wrong And they want to speak to you and they say, you know, what this happened that happened And then all because of all these things I got upset and then I said this Now as leaders, we must learn to stay calm Even when we know that the person we're talking to is in the wrong Is in the wrong and because of this person the whole problem is Going on stay calm Right. Uh, we must understand that okay Uh, you know, just shouting or getting angry and shouting at them is not going to resolve anything Stay calm, right? Stay away from Heights and verbal abuse or this as leaders Uh, you know that that is very important very very important There'll be times when our church may be people new people who come into our church and ministry They may have unreasonable demands in the church as well Now don't say, oh, hey, I'm not going to listen to you. Do you know how long this ministry is? It's more than 20 years. You're not when one year in this church. How can you make now? Just listen to them and finally You make you make the choices you make the plans, right? You make the decisions But stay calm through all of this time Just the last point if you have failed to deliver admitted Apologize don't cover up Right now. This is one thing that we always want to do in in in apc is that There are times we are unable to deliver. There are times we feel okay You know, I could have done better in this area or I could have done better in what was assigned to me One thing is admitted I mean, okay, this is something that I should have done to apologize god, you know Apologize to your leaders apologize to the people who you're working with to the team and and then look forward to You know improving and becoming better and whatever has been assigned to you So this was a small section or small chapter customer relations I just tried to you know translate everything even for ministry so that we can all Apply it in ministry as well. So We'll bring this a session to a close any questions. Um, and if you have any thoughts any questions We can close and pray Any questions? All right. Okay. Let's close and pray Louis would you mind If you can close and pray Okay, Kennedy has raised his hand. Yes, good I had a question Oh, Louis, uh, Kennedy has a question. So after the question you can Pray Thank you for giving me questions again, but I was asking can you talk about holding where people hold When friends are high or no friends are low, then they have to sell to make a bigger profit Oh, sorry, can you can you repeat that question? Please? I didn't get that can you can can you give some Direction where traders For organization tend to hold stops. Okay, and the prices are low And they sell them when the price is high, you know, yeah, it's holding. Yeah Yeah, so um Yeah, so regarding that Look, um, here's what I think uh, and uh, you can also maybe ask other faculty as a but here's what I I feel Right now in business, right the whole In the bible teaches us that business is to make profit I uh, you know the parable where, you know, this man Uh, uh gave his servants The money and he went away But only two of them were able to You know make profit out of it and only one just dug it and kept it under the ground Now there's a lesson and there's a reason why god said that right now as an organization as a business We want to make profits. We business involves strategy involves planning um, and so holding back stock and at the right time when you feel that you know, um When the prices are high you can sell it for a little more extra money um I feel it's okay as long as we're not exploiting Uh the people right? Uh as long we're not saying, okay Unless there's a complete lack of resources and then you we are holding back and saying no only You know until the stock market goes higher or until this price goes. I have not going to give it out Uh, then I'll then I'll be wrong But if there is resources available and you feel that maybe two years down the line, this is going to value even more Then I feel it's all right to hold and you know, uh sell when the rates are higher Uh, but if there's nothing and the resources are lacking people Uh, you know public people in the City or the country are lacking these resources.
