Opening scriptures

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
And he blessed Joseph and said,

the shepherd theme, traditionally interpreted communally of the “flock” (or nation), is here given its most personal interpretation in the entire biblical tradition.
(Even if the use of “I/my” was intended, or later interpreted, in a communal sense, the implications of a personal association with the shepherd remain.)

As a consequence of the fact that the Lord is his shepherd, the psalmist can say: “I shall not want.”

“so long as the Lord is my shepherd, I suffer no lack.”
In general terms, the words reflect simply the shepherd’s provision.
But more than that, they recall God’s provision for his people during the travels after the Exodus; see , “you have not lacked a thing” (the same verb, חסר, is used as in ).

expose your weaknesses
Remedy and recourse
Return to the Shepherd
Sobering question we must all ask ourselves:
IF GOD WERE TO TAKE AWAY OUR MINISTRY PLATFORM, WOULD YOU STILL LOVE AND WORSHIP ME WITH THE SAME PASSION THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW?
MATHEW 15:8 “ ‘This people honors me with their lips,
MATHEW 15:8 “ ‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
large crowd, reputation, preaching/teaching in front of groups, serving/volunteering, leading
As the leader you have to be the first example / you shepherd by what you do as well as what you say...
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.
Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers
you can’t become so busy communicating that you forget to be what it is that you teach
you can’t put self image over self preservation
how can i lead people into the quiet place beside the still waters if i am in perpetual motion
be careful not to call others to sit besides the still waters and be rooted in Jesus and you yourself aren’t experiencing that quiet place.
STAY SHEPHERDED
The David Model / Burden
The David Model / Burden
And David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper...
there must be a time of impartation
there must be a time of intercession
there must be a time of inquiry

The Jesus Model / Balance
as anointed as Jesus was
as ministry minded as Jesus was
as evangelistic
with all the passion, burden and zeal he had for the things of GOD…
Jesus knew the value of balance
Balance is going to look different for each of us individually, but we all need balance
Balance is going to look different for each of us individually, but we all need balance
we all need balance
The benefits of having balance is,…it makes ministry a delight and not drudgery
16 Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise.
Why should you destroy yourself?
ministry ought to be fun
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Ecclesiastes 7:16 Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise.
