The Leader Who Had No Title

It's called the LWT, its short for Leader Without a Title.  I think many of us can relate to this.  Often we think to ourselves in our cultural context of being Southeast Asian Americans who function under a cultural constraints, context, "ministry", and or occupation as stuck?  Hurt?   Plateaued, mediocre, with lack of focus, limited??  Some might even still be struggling with self worth and value in their capabilities.  We are approaching SEALS 2014, in a 2 weeks and it is a leadership summit right.  Here is some food for thought:


How does this take us to depend on God's love?  How do we REMAIN in him with this though of disintegrating our negative thoughts and behaviors, our past.....

The more thought put into choosing to disintegrating negative thoughts, behaviors, and past experiences leads us to consider what it means to deny yourself to take up the cross DAILY, what does being created in His likeness really mean, and how can we function in ministry better in relationships rather than treating it as a position in "work/ministry/mission".  It comes down to the power we have in relationships and the power we have in making a choice to change.  Changes birth new opportunity; new opportunity dawn new horizon to gaze upon.  And new horizons means we have more capability for contribution to our communities.  (Luke 9:23, Genesis 1:26, and John 15:11)

With our capability to own being a leader without a title.  This makes everyone a leader.  Our titles describe the responsibilities of our gifts we have committed to grow and to share.  When we look at this quote we can reconsider, reconstruct, and regenerate our lives to make room for personal ambition towards the fullness of joy that God really wants us to experience. When we are doing most excellent we can help others do their most excellent. (John 16:23)

SEALS is celebrating our 10th year.  Can we celebrate all that has changed in 10 years.  May we strive for excellence and brilliance of God's glory for the next 10 years!!!

If you want to read more about Leader Who Had No Title by Robin Sharma.  It is a very good practical read. (Kindle Version $11). There are main principles that help us understand how we can be the best of ourselves without having the "title".   Unfortunately, it is not a Christian read, but there are so many ways to apply Biblical principle and scripture to the writings and quotes in this book.  It is even easy to explain to the youth in your community, which is quite exciting!  

Blessings!

A Word from the Prayer Coordinator

Purpose of SEAC Prayer Journal In order to be the catalyst that we have been called to be, this blog, will serve as a prayer journal for SEAC, documenting, encouraging, equipping, and cultivating a lifestyle of prayer in our community. We will be seeking God together as a family of believers through a prayer filled life. There will be prayer topics, encouragements to help us all face daily life, requests that we can uplift for SEAC events and leaders, praise reports, references/resources on prayer, Southeast Asian current events, and of course chewing on the Word of God. With this purpose may we grow more intimately as the Bride of Christ. -from your Prayer Coordinator, Janice M. Chau

SEALS 2017 Morning Meditation - Listening Prayer thru Art

Matthew Geppert from Southeast Asian Prayer Center (SEACP) challenged conferees to take a moment to reflect and listen regarding our Identity.  The   continual  encouragement was to  remember  and minister to ourselves this message.   And  when we are struggling most to  remember it and profess it outwardly during those hardships. We repeated in response: “I AM WHO I AM  MADE BY THE I AM WHO  SAYS WHO I AM.” This morning create a time and space for listening prayer.   Perhaps the Lord may offer an adjective to describe the season, provide an affirmation, a new name, a vision, or an image.   After listening, perhaps draw, sketch, paint, or color the provided word.   It can become a process that will reveal a lesson, bring healing, and/or bring clarity. Creative methods and strategies with new tools may have its struggles and uncover an emotional or spiritual ep...

Joy in the Desert Place

Glory at the Foot of the Rocks, Ryan Ranch, Joshua Tree, California Throughout the Old Testament the desert thrives as a Biblical motif.  In the desert people groups were taught mighty lessons. From those mighty lessons, there was abundance, multiplication, promise, and growth. In Genesis, Abraham's legacy and his family were established through sojourning for a new land.  Along the journey the Lord promised him a nation that would be greater than the numbers of stars in the sky and the number of grains of sands on the earth. In Exodus, the Israelites sought for the promised land, a place filled with milk and honey.  As they faithfully traveled for hundreds of years, they developed as a sojourning nation.  Some developments were within their culture, simplicity of life, and worship and reverence for the Lord. In Psalms, King David and his writers extolled the liveliness and abundance of the desert.  There King David's faithfulness is grown. The desert...
