‘Apostle Paul’s Message To The Corinthians.’
2 Corinthians 2:9.
a) It was in strong terms, he had a specific reason for writing.
b) It was investigative (he wanted to find out something).
c) It was seeking their commitment – how far would they go in obeying him.
(Through this QT: Apostle Paul’s Message To The Corinthians, I realise how important it is for leaders to honestly communicate with the people that they lead)

‘To Follow The Lord.
a) Matthew 16:24. If we want to be Christ’s follower:-
1- We put aside our selfish ambition.
2- We shoulder our cross.
3- We follow Him.
b) 2 Corinthians 4:11. We do not protect ourselves but rather we trust Him to protect us.
c) John 10:27. We simply follow Him as sheep follow a shepherd.
d) Romans 8:14. As we follow and obey Him we have confident assurance that we are God’s Children.
e) Romans 12:1-2. We should be totally available to Him.
(This Second one makes me understand what it means To Follow The Lord)

Ministry and Church leaders need to forget about the fact that they are called to be leaders and to concentrate much more on helping the people that they lead. These leaders need a “servant” concept to remain as good leaders rather than a “leader” concept.
