F.A.M.I.L.Y

21 June 2007 – F.A.M.I.L.Y

1 Timothy 3:4-5

He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?

“Okay, Mr. Franco, I think today we have something new to learn other than attitude right?” “Nope, today I am going to talk more about attitude too.” “What? That again?” Indeed! Today I am going to share with you how to identify our attitude as a leader.

Some of you might say, ‘I am not a leader, so this is not my business.’ Certainly not! You might not be a leader in a great organization, in school, in church, in whatever, but in your family you might be an elder brother or sister, you might be a leader among your friends. So, it is necessary for us to learn to become a leader before we become a leader.

Again, I said, attitude is the key of success of life! What is your attitude toward this message today, then it will be the key of the impact that God has done to you. The attitude of a leader should be determined, courageous, influential, etc. But God has emphasized another point on this, he said that a leader must manage his own family well! You should practice to have a good relationship with family member then you can proceed into leading and taking care of others. It is unreasonable to tell other to honor our parents but we ourselves always involved in family commotion, we can’t tell anyone to share with each other if we failed to do it on our brothers and sisters in our family.

A leader is an influential person, what you do and what your attitude is, will be inherited to the follower! So we must bear in mind of this point. When you successfully understand the meaning of family, then we will be success leading others as an example.

Recently I have seen an email stating the acronym of FAMILY, it is quite deep in meaning:

Father

And

Mother

I

Love

You
