 All right welcome back Almost come to the end of this chapter just a few points Let me just present Okay, so we've been talking about Nehmaya, right and how he was able to build a wall Now look at the outcome of What happened from when he led this entire project, right? Nehmaya chapter 6 15 and 16 it says the people saw great success After 52 days of work the entire wall was finished on the 25th day of the month of Elul When our enemies in the surrounding nations heard this They realized that they had lost face Since everyone knew that the work had been done with God's help Remember the vision the vision was God is with us God will enable us When the end with the with the mission the values all of that incorporated the people themselves knew That this was accomplished because God was with them Right so powerful that is Nehmaya didn't go and tell the enemies God is with us They realized it But when he shared the vision he shared it with the people Said God is with us. We can do it. Nothing can stop us and they realized it Right, and so that's why it's very important that we keep reiterating the vision have certain values and Certain cultures and walk with that We can achieve great things right just a few more points on this chapter very important Let's go down. Let's go into the next point, right? That's just a sample Work culture that you can read about later, but history is important Capture it and repeat it Right, so judges chapter 2 7 through 11 Right, can we read that? So the people serve the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of elders who Only Joshua Who had seen all the great works of the Lord which he had done for Israel now? Joshua the son of none the servant of the Lord died when he was 110 years old and There buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath In Nath here's in the mountains of Ephraim or On the north side of Mount gosh When all the generation had been gathered to their fathers another generation arose after them Who did not know the Lord nor the work which he had done for Israel? Then the children of Israel did he will in the sight of the Lord and served the boss Look at this worse worse Tim very sad worse When all the generations have been gathered to their father that means all of them had died and passed on Another generation rose who did not know the Lord and did not know the work that God did for the people of Israel So nobody shared it Nobody sat down made their children sit and say hey listen we were in Egypt for about 400 years Then with one in one day God brought us out of Egypt Right, we were and when we came out of Egypt. There was a big sea and God parted the season to to we walked on dry land Then we didn't have enough food God sent food from the heavens We didn't have water there was a rock that followed us and the stream of water followed us wherever we went Or even our sandals did not wear off God did great miracles Where we were so follow the Lord. He's you know, they didn't do anything. They didn't teach the next generation And so the worst leaven says damn the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the boss Now whose fault is it? Was it their fault or was it the fault of the of the generation that was above them? All they had to do is share and impart History is important. We got to capture it. We got to repeat it Right now we don't live in the past. We don't keep talking about history, right? We got to look ahead Right, but when we when you know all the mistakes that we've made all our success stories our failures The journey that we've gone through. It's very important To share it right to the two people, right? Look at some of the examples, but also history Helps us to see the progress we have made and every small success Inspires us to move forward right now Look at Moses He did he make mistakes? Yes right But he pushed on right and he writes about his own mistakes. These are mistakes. I mean look at Peter Did he make mistakes? Yeah Do you think it came up to his mind? Yes But he looked on further, right? Look at Apostle Paul. Did he make mistakes? Yes, and Only once he writes about his own account Right. He says, you know, I was a sinner like this like this. I think it was in Galatians It says these are the things that I did wrong But by God's grace he called me to be in the ministry only once So history is important, but we don't live in the past Right. We looked at what? You know, we can't live in the glories of the past Hey, I did this that time. Okay. It's good. What's ahead? Paul didn't say I started five churches in Galatia now. That's enough. No, so what's ahead and Timothy he says that's the most No, but by reading that itself, he's almost going to be killed. He's old. He's going to die He says I press on to know more of God. I said Paul how much more you want to know God? You've done so much enough Just go in peace. No, I press on For the price that he asked for me Forgetting what is behind Now forgetting means you didn't forget the churches For getting the glories of the past All the churches planted all the Miracles and the missionary work. Okay. All that is there I've raised up a next generation the Timothy's and the Titus and all of them. I'm pressing on for what is ahead right, so when at the opportune time relevant stories Narrate stories from the past laugh about mistakes made But always remember to narrate stories in a positive manner Never share stories that can put people down Right encourage them lift them up right use teachable illustrations and that's what Jesus did right when I share about times when I've led worship There are times I've shared with you right so many times right the mic has moved off The guitar is top. I've forgotten the scale of the song. Which is which scale is the song Right or sometimes, you know, the lyrics have gone from verse one to verse next I've gone to verse three directly We made those mistakes But we learn from them. You can laugh about it learn from it, right? And then how did I? Improve myself to get better at what I'm doing, right? It's not like I did a mistake and then okay leave it there No, you improve yourself, right? So they're relevant stories. I always share with young people, right? I was from yesterday at church or sharing with a few young guys. So we were at the VIP back. We were talking and So I was talking the young guys from one of our colleges here All in the early 20s, you know, I'm so encouraged to see them They are coming to church all friends from different parts of and they're not from Bangalore So, you know, you know parents are not saying go and sit in church They're coming on their own and One one guy said, you know, we really need some Bible teaching in our college. How can we start? And I was like, wow Look at this young guy 21 odd years old. See we need some Bible teaching in the colleges He's just hearing those things I began to share a few stories of how I was able to you know, just start these small groups and he was so happy He said, okay, let me try it out. But I told him I just In the half an hour break, you know 10 minutes, but eventually that grew Became like a small group and people would come people were You know outside, they were very happy. They showed themselves happy but inside they were all hurting broken Right. So this is something that I did and he was sharing. Maybe I'll try it And that story it was a simple story Right, but it invigorated him Then even I can do right so so these stories can this is a way of helping the next generation encouraging them, right and We must understand to use history correctly Used to learn from it, but never let it hold you captive Meaning when you when you talk about history and you're talking about things that happen in the past Don't let it hold you kept. Oh because I failed in this area So then I'm never going to do it again. No When you talk about history, it should spur you to action. Oh, I can do this more better Right, I can I can know if it's if it's preaching if it's teaching five years back I did this way maybe the next five years coming next five years I got to get better at it and so let me learn from my mistakes what I made in the past and Improve myself, right? Everyone getting me, right? You're getting me. Yeah. Okay. Oh Success stories next point success stories are invigorating share them I'd problems 25 25 as cold water to a weary soul. So is good news from a far country one as an organization Success stories are invigorating meaning they They encourage everyone Right. We celebrate people celebrate teams celebrate progress. I remember share this example that happened, right? And then we'll go into the next chapter. I Joined after my college, I wanted to work for a while and so So I joined us call center Right, so I was taking calls and it was an American inbound call center. So people would call in But one of the things in this organization was they always had You know these He called in those Certain targets and they had competitions right between teams, you know, maybe seven eight teams and There were competitions who are wins the entire team will get goodies, right? So since it was an American company, they would Send in, you know, all these goodies and all of those things. I said if our team wins We would the entire team. So we're maybe 15 people in our team the entire team gets it Now there was a season where I'm talking about 2005 but they Do you know the they would send us they would say, okay, whoever wins this? It was every two weeks. So who wins the this two weeks competition will win a home theater 2005 will win a handy camera right those those old handy camps which used to be there or they would win a Backpack or a or a headphones, right? So always there were goodies and these competitions were there. I remember I was people were actually You know, they would get these sleeping bags and they would sleep in the conference room because they want to sleep two Three hours and go back to calls And it was intense right they said you work you work you wanted you have to do it But I remember we we just called our team we got together and we came up with ideas So we made sure that two people would never take a break at the same time Right and things like that, right and we were so captivated the vision was This week, you know, it's a DVD player. Okay, if we win all 15 of us get DVD players Right. These are like the proper DVD system And we would only work hard and most of the time We win we wanted there were targets that we reached which were you know, so if it if the target was maybe 70 We would reach 110 120 right because you put in more than 110 percent in our work but what what I remember from that is That you know These when I when the next teams would come in so every time there would be new people coming in we would share these stories Hey, these are the things we have one better not slack off You've got to work hard because you're part of the team now unless you're part of it you're With us in mind and in passion and seal only then we can win it Right and the new guys they started coming in they started doing well and really success stories can Really encourage people Right how you share it is very important, right? Okay, so let's go to the next chapter Which is any questions on this chapter? Any questions any thoughts? Yes, so we see the thing of Nehemiah, yeah So that case like people are all with one mind and they're with So if we are running an organization or anything people are against division like they're not cooperating How do you handle that situation? Yes, very true So so if you read the story of Nehemiah, what happens is in between people were not in one mind right in between when when San Balat said no, we're not going to let you build a wall there were opposition there were enemies So some of them said let's go back to what I was doing Do we really need to build I don't want to risk my life. So people were not 100% with the vision So at that time Nehemiah had to come forward as a leader. He didn't go and hide You had to come forward and say, okay. I know that this is what see This is what you're feeling. This is what you're going through But remember God is on our side. What did he do? He reiterated the vision. So there will be times remember Organization ministry is about people People go through ups and downs people go through different challenges different one day there with the vision one day They say I don't want this vision That's where our leadership skills come in right, we begin to Share with them. Hey hold on now even during that people may leave and go Right, but you can't hold them, right? You can't say no, you have to stay because if the vision has gone out of them You can't hold them back. They're only going to become a burden What will they do they'll start sharing with others We can't do this we can't do this remember what happened when the people of Israel came out of Egypt But one or two people said Moses is gone. He's not going to come back What we'll do we'll build a calf they did it right, so if you are in Leadership He pre-eatenating the vision if people want to exit out or the vision has gone Let them go don't hold on to them But if you're part of an organization and you see what is happening like there's no unity that people are mining You know doing their own things You hold on to the values and the culture that you know the values that of the organization If they say 30 minute break you take 30 minute they may take one hour You take that I'm talking about small things and these small things God sees and he will bring reward right Now if you're a leader reiterate if you're if you're under leadership Be faithful Right and and people will notice remember. What did they say when they saw the wall built they realized that God is with them So they will see God bringing success upon you and say hey, how is that how is it that you got it? because God was with you right, so don't be Don't be discouraged when you see people not in line with the vision or not in line Especially in the corporate sector You do you keep the organization vision in mind you keep the beliefs your values In line with God That's more than enough Okay, any other questions any other thoughts Okay, let's go to chapter five. This is also a very interesting topic Competitive advantage and strategy Now every organization right Luckily in ministry, there's no competitive advantage. There's no competition and ministry But when you talk about an organization Definitely there is competition, right? So if you got two companies that have for example Two motorbike companies or two car companies, obviously there is competition Right You can have a Mercedes or a BMW They both are High-end brands and now they both are in competition. Okay, you're doing this. I will do this I will give you a better You know premium Quality I will give you better Whatever there's competition on every side right now with competition We need new strategies, right without a strategy will be the same There's no new product And there is no competition the other organization may get better and better and better. We are stuck here in the same place Right, so let's look at what is competitive advantage It is what makes your product and your service better and different from the others From the other competitors. That's competitive advantage. Why should I go? Example right, there's just an example why should I Go to buy a apple product When I can buy a HP Just an example, right? No, don't say HP is not right. Okay Why why do why is it There's certain advantages Right, it's HP. Good. Very good. It's apple. Good. Very good What's the advantage? There are certain advantages. There are some certain services that are different Right in each of these products Now that is called competitive advantage If you look around us everything, right, it could be even chairs Right chairs chair companies can have competitive advantage right, so What competitive common differentiators include Speed greater value cost product skill raw materials all of these things But let's look at scriptural principles on competitive advantage Scriptural principles To undergird our professional knowledge and to practice competitive advantage. Now remember It's nothing wrong in competition. How the competition is good Right, there's nothing wrong in it, but there are biblical principles that we must keep in mind number one Know what you are against Right, uh, I love this verse and look 14 28 to 33. Let's read that look 14 18 14 28 to 33 Luke 14 28 to 33 If one of you is planning to build a tar You sit down first and figure out what it cost To see if you have enough money to finish the job If you don't you will not able to finish the tar after laying the foundations And all who see what happened will make fun of you You begin to build but can't finish the job They will say if a king goes out with 10,000 men to fight another king Who comes against him with 20,000 men? He will sit down first and decide if he is strong enough to face that other king If he isn't he will send messengers to meet the other king to ask for terms of peace While he's still a long way off In the same way concluded jesus none of you can be my disciples unless you give up everything you have Yeah, so When we read this Jesus is so practical. What's he saying? Count the cost There is a cost imagine a king is going on battle. He's got 10,000 people But he gets to know that the enemy side has 20,000 people The wise thing to do is hey Let me go And make things right. Let me see if I can You know have a discussion and see if this matter can be resolved Everything every battle puts lives at stake The pursuit of organizational vision Includes or involves a cost That is a price we must pay Right when when we when you know what you're up against Right, there's a cost if I want to start a business or I want to start a ministry There are certain things that I have to do Right. I need to know I have to have enough sufficient funds. I need to know how to start where to start What are the legalities? What I must do what I must not do No, what you're up against, right? So if you're starting a business Right, find out what is already there in the market Right, so for example, I'm gonna start a laptop business Okay, or a or a cycle business find out what's there in the market. Don't just start I find out what is the cost? What is uh, what is retail? How does it come to the market? How how does it go into the You know to the regular shops, how do I do it? find out ways Right learn about it Secondly compete But compete in a clean and a fair manner second the ministry to five says Natalie to runs in a race cannot win the prize unless he obeys the rules It is not enough just to finish the Line what is important also the rules to be obeyed now imagine a runner Okay There are many things While competing in a race Imagine The runner is standing there, you know, they're doing a hundred meter race And before the gunshot, you know, one of the runners start off. What happens? immediate disqualification Why because he's not followed the rules now He may have practiced 10 years for that race And he's come there. He's nervous and he starts early disqualified 10 years gone down the drain He'll have to come back again Okay, now what about if he starts running and he decides to go to the other He doesn't keep his track. He decides to go to the other person's track What happens? Either he gets disqualified or he's going to trip and fall Because you can't do that. He's going to waste time doing that Okay, three, what if he the person starts off very well But he decides, okay, no, I don't want to race. I don't want all of this Somewhere, you know in a 200 meter race imagine 100 meters. He has finished Oh, and then he realizes. Oh, there's another 100 meters. I forgot. It's a 200 meter race There's no use. You can't go and tell the person who was in the Olympics. You can't tell them. Actually, I forgot. I thought it's 100 meters He'll take go and sit down over So you compete but you compete in a fair clean and fair manner that Um, and and nowadays when you look at sports, there's so much of unfairness. That's happening I was reading this article recently about the women's swimming That uh, it was like it's like the olympics So this young girl she had started when she was about six years old swimming she wanted to be a champion and a lot of sacrifice a lot of hard work And she won a lot of medals and trophies and it came to the final like right now. She's in her prime and uh and What happened was A transgender meaning a man Who identifies as a transgender has joined the race Okay, all our women this one is a man Who's identified as a transgender and she's and they and He's partaking in that swimming Competition and he beats the world record And this girl is saying of all my life. I How can you have a man come and compete in the ladies? No And she's so broken, you know years of sacrifice and And it's you know, the media took it up. It become it became a big issue because it's not clean. It's not fair right when you and I are in business in ministry in An organization compete with one another, but be clean be fair, right? Right develop a winning strategy Proverbs 24 5 and 6 It's better to be wise than strong intelligence outranks muscle any day Strategic planning is the key to warfare to win You need a lot of good counsel now strategy is a military term, right? or war and all of that planning of movement of troops and how to you know Move ahead and battle now when you look at You know even Moses When he brought the people out of Egypt, he had a bit of a strategy Yes, he said okay, we'll go this way But when Dostoe came in the strategies were implemented more effectively right now a winning strategy is our plans and Ways on how you can achieve your goal A lot of input is required in that Right now a strategy would involve Talking to people talking to customers talking to you know survey the market get good advice Strategy is important. So for example, look at this And if you want to start a church you want to start your own ministry you want to start your own You know your own church Can you start without a strategy? You can but it's not going to get you anywhere You need a strategy Right. So what do you do? You go you check. Okay. Where is where can I start a church? Okay, you've got the place. Okay. What should I take? Should I take it on a monthly basis? Should I rent the place on a monthly basis? Or should I hire it for? You know once a week Okay strategy To what is the people that I'm targeting a youth families or everyone? Okay everyone What are some of the events I'll do? Right What are some of the ways I'm going to reach out? What are the sermons? I'm going to preach. How is the Flow of this service going to be these are all strategies That you need to apply start church We cannot just say, okay, I started my church. No, you got to have a strategy Yes, if you want to start a business You have to have a strategy. You got to have a capital Meaning you initial funds You need to have all the legal authorities and legal papers everything that is required. You need to have The okay from the government Right from from the legal thing. Everything should be okay And then you implement your strategy Right without a strategy Don't try to start anything Right and over time those strategies can change What you did five years back doesn't mean you have to use the same strategy again Change those strategies, right? Excuse me. So what's important is Have a strategy next one Goliath is not your real enemy fear is We'll not read that verse, but let me just explain and share my thoughts, right? pure Now there were trained people in the army Who were standing and watching Goliath and they were in fear Right, they were trained But they were fearful now what happened David Was not trained, but he was not fearful He was bold Right. So sometimes fear Is not the you know Sometimes Goliath is not your enemy. Fear is Goliath was big Was was able to you know defeat anyone he publicly said whoever wants to come against me come I will defeat them. I will kill them. So the armies of Israel were all in fear Right Now do you think that they could have defeated Goliath? Armies of Israel if they tried they didn't even try But David He said no, it's okay. I'm going to go He was not fearful. What did he tell king sol sol king sol don't worry. I have killed the lion I've killed the bear with my own hands that Reading that gives me goosebumps Can you picture killing a lion with your own hand? These are wild lions he killed the lion with his own hand He killed the bear with his own hands So when he looked at Goliath Fellows, maybe what 12 feet high For him it was nothing Why because maybe David is thinking. Hey, I've seen the I've seen a lion up close and personal He's I'm sat on it. I've killed it and I've sat on it He's not stronger than a lion. I've seen the bear. You know bear has these claws They are able they can cut through your entire bow. They can cut you into pieces the body A human body if it really gets a good grip it can cut you into pieces I've killed the bear also So Goliath, sorry David was not fearful at all And that's what got him the victory Sometimes they look at how big Goliath is that's what happened to the Israelites. Did they win battles? They won many battles but fear gripped them David said no He's nothing God is with me number one and two I've I've seen worse things than this sometimes when We are in the organization when we are working Right the fear of failure the fear of the unknown Can leave us in a place of inaction What if I try this and I fail what if I do this and I fail it's okay to fail I'm sure you've heard this right Fear failure is the stepping stone to success Failure is the stepping stone to succeed you fail next time you can succeed So don't be afraid to fail Now don't keep only failure in your mind and say okay, when am I gonna fail? No, if everything's going well good Right keep going right but when failure comes Look at it as okay It's a stepping stone to success. Don't stop One idea could be a good can make you a winner But another idea can make you you know can cause you to fail But doesn't mean you don't have any more ideas You keep doing it. You keep improving yourself, right? Look at this leverage your experience with the lions and the bears to face Goliath I love this the odds were heavily against David No one in their right mind a shepherd Against a trained soldier I would say a minor against a A trained soldier No one would have thought that David will go and defeat But what did David do? He tapped into the history that he had with God Said I killed the lion I killed the bear Goliath was no different for him He had advantage. He had competitive advantage every small success that you have Use it and build on it Right remember the first time You know I was asked to share And it was one of the locations. So I went there and Was really prepared And I shared right But I don't know how it went Time went really fast and and within 30 minutes. I finished my sermon So usually take 45 minutes, but 30 minutes And I didn't know what to do. So I said, okay worship team come up and I closed Uh, but the 30 minutes I remember I I I felt I shared well right So I went back home and I and I said, okay 30 minutes was good, but I was quite discouraged. Why didn't I do 45 minutes? Right, but on the other side I kept telling myself, okay 30 minutes. At least they got a good 30 minute sermon So you take the success from it But you also take areas of learning. Okay So you got to add to the sermon, right? You've got to make it 45 minutes Make sure that it's engaging make the sermon Now how you speak how you give your examples Uh, where to give examples what kind of examples to give these are things that we can learn Build on it. You know what you're good at That becomes your competitive advantage Right, and especially when you have successes in the past Use it for your benefit right next Sometimes just one pebble is all it takes they're talking about David David's strategy against gulai. It was simple David used what he was good at remember what uh things all said, okay So David, you're forcing me You want to go go okay put on all of these Armory the shield and the sword and I'm sure look at look at David He was young boy. Maybe to carry that sword would have taken all his energy or that shield would have stopped him Right to be fast or be quick And he took out everything and he said no, this is not me This is not this is not the way I can you know go and battle against gulai All I need for a few pebbles a few stones I'll use my sling. This is what I am comfortable with Right You are comfortable with the sword The army of his my brothers are comfortable with the sword And you know all of these armory they are comfortable. I'm not comfortable with that. I am comfortable with the sling Now can you picture what king sol would have said? Why At least where the armor and go He said no, this is this is my strength Right, so what is it? What looked like a disadvantage was really david's competitive advantage Most of and most of all david moved out in faith empowered by god Now all david did was used one Sling and one stone or pebble to defeat gulayat He used it as an advantage I'll just picture what if david was forced to go with the Shield and the sword by the time Anything would have happened by the time he would have reached gulayat gulayat may have thrown the spear straight at him But here he was flexible. He knew okay. I can move around. I can do it this way. This is me And he used it to his advantage You don't have to be big You don't have to be better If you can outdo your competition in skill agility innovation and service You don't always have to be bigger If you're skilled if you're skilled you can get better Right, you can you know in Kill innovation you can improve in that area But it's not always about being bigger Right, so Psalms 27 is wonderful some trust and chariots and some in horses But we will remember the name of the lord Finally get god's counsel Get the lord's counsel Your key to competitive advantage and strategy Right consult the lord get his counsel. There are times god reveals Through dreams through visions. He can reveal into your spirit what to do what not to do And in the old testament if you look at the story of jake tub Wonderful story of how god intervened in jacob's life Now jacob ran away and he was living Probably in a little bit of guilt because of what he did to isaw But god spoke to him in a dream God revealed to jacob What he must do right and he aligned himself to that So when you talk about this, uh, you know the speckled flock flocks and The striped and the speckled God gave him the strategy god gave him the idea and you can read that later on and uh, you know, you God spoke to him god revealed to him what to do and how to do it and it was done seem like the himire But spoke to him revealed to him Right. I mean if you look in the book of joshua God spoke and revealed Right. So be open to unusual strategies Just a moment Okay, just three more points. We'll finish it so that next class we can go to the next Chapter. Okay, be open to unusual strategies. Now think of this Uh, joshua chapter six the walls of jericho God tells joshua what Okay, you've come to the place There's this huge wall We all know the story god tells joshua Go and break into the wall What does god tell joshua? Walk around the wall But imagine joshua saying why would we do that? We can just go and break portion of the wall and enter no So what is it? We are thinking small Could they have made one small hole In the bottom of the wall and entered in and gone They could have but god said no God said joshua you go for seven days. You go around the wall. You sing and shout No, first you go quietly And on the seventh day on the seventh time you blow your trumpets and praise the lord and i will give you victory unusual strategy Right even got to uh, you know, uh, david when you hear The the leaves I forget the chapter in the worst but when you hear the leaves The sound of the leaves coming know that I am with you Right another place God tells joshua joshua says god Let the sun stand still because I need to defeat them and god does it So god is a god who's open to unusual strategies We don't keep him. We don't say god. You have to work this way be open to god's unusual strategies But it's normally Something that we may not have thought of but we open to it Okay Down but not out come out with a new strategy remember now there will be times we Will lose There will be times we may fail but remember you're not out Come back with a new strategy now when you look at ministry and the times that I've Come up with some ideas and many times that has not worked out Many many times many plans. It has not worked out, right? But you're you feel discouraged But you're not out you come back you come back with the strategy You come back with a new idea and you try and implement that and see if that works Even if that doesn't work come back again Work on your strategy. We've sometimes we fail because we may not be Doing things according to the strategy Once we get that winning strategy hold on to it And keep trying don't let failure discourage right Finally time and chance happen be alert at quick And capture the moment Right, Ecclesiastes was 9 and 11. Let's read that I'll return under so under the sun that the rays is not to the 50 Not the bath to the strong nor bread to the wise No riches to men of understanding No failure to men of skill but time and chance happen to them all Yes, so understand the timing and circumstances are important.
