Personality
Find, explain and demonstrate God’s purpose for your life. Develop a personality. Your purpose and personality need to line up otherwise confusion exists. If you know your purpose and yet your personality is chasing after the things of this world, it brings confusion. Who we are matters as much as what we do. “You can teach all you know but you reproduce who you are.” We reproduce who we are. I need to reproduce someone that looks like God.
Personality alone cannot make you a leader. People will follow you because you have a purpose but will stay with you because of your personality. The idea of heaven is to get people to go with you to heaven.
Churches should be family places. People never leave churches but they leave people in the Church. 1 Corinthians 12:24 – 25 “….but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honour to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.” What is the personality of the Church? It should have a conducive environment which allows for people to operate in their gifting. The personality of the Church should have the characteristic of the God – it should be healthy! Does it have the character of Christ?

Power follows on to this…..
