How Can I Be “The One”?

1. Change The Lead from Yourself to the Father

John 5:19 (NKJV)

Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

John 12:49–50 (NLT)

I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.”

According to John 5:19 and John 12:49-50, How do I Rearrange what I want to Do and Say?

2. Be “The One” Before Your Family!

Deuteronomy 6:6–9 (NKJV)

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Colossians 3:15–21 (MSG)

Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.

Wives, understand and support your husbands by submitting to them in ways that honor the Master.

Husbands, go all out in love for your wives. Don’t take advantage of them.

Children, do what your parents tell you. This delights the Master no end.

Parents, don’t come down too hard on your children or you’ll crush their spirits.

According to Deuteronomy 6:6-9, What conversations should I be having in my home?

Using Colossians 3:15-21 as a model,What does the Home look like that follows these instructions?

3. Be “The One” In Your Church!

Ephesians 4:15–16 (NKJV)

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

According to Ephesians 4:15-16, What would a Church look like if Every Joint Supplied?

4. Be “The One” Who Leads Your World to Christ! Build the Wall In Front of Your House!

Nehemiah 3:28 (NKJV)

Beyond the Horse Gate the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house.

Win Your World!
