I. WHAT IS CALLING

It is God’s divine assignment to a person to make His dream come true

II. RECOGNIZE THE CALLING

A. CONVICTION - It is essential to have absolute certainty that God has called us into the ministry,
coupled with the correct motivation, in order to go into ministry

B. BROKENESS - Brokenness is the most powerful protection mechanism a believer can have while
facing the adversities of life

C. ANOINTING - This is when you experience the presence of God in your life continuously. It is
reflected in the way you speak, in what you teach, in what you pray, in what you understand and in
the people you lead.

D. SUBMISSION - Those who are in spiritual authority must understand that our authority over others
is not an imposition but a posture of managing others as we present ourselves as examples in every
thing.

E. FRUITFULNESS - One of the great advantages this vision has is that everybody can develop all the
potential he has inside because it is reflected in fruitfulness.

BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR CALLING:

Ezekiel 22:30 - The Lord has assigned a mission to you. “I looked for a man among them who would
build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy
it, but I found none”

3. PERSONALITY OF A LEADER Galatians 5:22, 23 - “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”

I. PERSONALITY - Being a person of character comes from understanding the redeeming work of the
Cross. Understanding and accepting the redeeming work is recovering our identity

A. Temperament

b. Choleric: A born leader but tends to get angry easily.

c. Melancholic: Tends to be calm but may fall in depression and sadness.

d. Phlegmatic: Very easy going but seems to be tired more often than not.

B. Character - It is the external reflection of what we have accepted internally. It is said that
temperament and character make up the personality of a human being.

II. FUNDAMENTAL ATTITUDES THAT WILL HELP US GROW

A. Feed your faith daily

B. Be a well-balanced person

You are God’s masterpiece; Christ’s character has been reproduced in you, and you have the ability to
be self-controlled. Know your temperament; make the daily effort of submitting every area of your
life to the control of the Holy Spirit, thus reflecting the fruit of the Spirit; because you will have that
uniqueness, which in turn, grants to you authority as you become active in the ministry.

1. Analyze your behavior compared to other people’s behavior and try to discover the most
predominant features of your personality until you can define your prevailing temperament.

2. According to Galatians 5:22-23, notice the characteristics which make up your leadership style,
and if you find weaknesses in some areas, strengthen them in prayer with the guidance of your
leader.
