THE WORD OF LIFE CHURCH is founded on ten pillars called LEADERSHIP
L stands for Light : Where light appears, darkness surrenders. We are called to shine as the Light of this dark World
“You are the light of the world. A city that is on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14).
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12).
"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." (John 9:5)
E stands for Excellence : In Christ Excellence is our portion and our heritage
"They were beyond measure astonished, saying, He does all things well it makes the deaf hear and the mute speak." (Mark 7:37)
A stands for Agape-Love : In Christ we are Love– Career. We are the salt of the earth to sweeten the bitter world with good works out of God’s love.
Romans 12:13; Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 2:10
"Contribute to the needs of the saints. Practice hospitality "(Romans 12:13)
“Whenever we have the opportunity, we have to do what is good for everyone, especially for the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10).
“God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).
D stands for Diligence : We are called to rule in this present world. We say no to laziness that leads to poverty. We say yes to diligence that leads to prosperity.
“Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches” (Proverbs 10:4 GWV)
“The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness (abundance, prosperity), but of everyone that is hasty, only to want” (Proverbs 21:5 KJV)
“The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing, but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat” (Proverbs 13:4 KJV)
E stands for Eternity : Our highest calling is to share the eternity with Christ in his Kingdom and to rule with him
“God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him” (2 Timothy 2:12)
Responsibility : Because God has trusted us with his Gospel and his blessings (spiritual, financial, material…), we won’t try to please people but God.
“We are always spreading the Good News. God trusts us to do this because we passed his test. We don’t try to please people but God, who tests our motives” (1 Thessalonians 2:4).
"Each of us will give an account to God for himself" (Romans 14:12)
S stands for Stewardship : By redemption we are stewards of the manifold grace of God
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.(1 Peter 4:10)
H stands for Honour : We are called to be people of honour
“… them that honor Me I will honor …” (1 Samuel 2:30)
I stands for Integrity : There’s no room for compromising, corrupting, altering the Word.
“By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say” (1 Kings 22:14).
“The person who has my word should honestly speak my word” (Jeremiah 23:28).
“For we are not like many, who corrupt the word of God: On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God, with sincerity, like men sent from God” (2 Corinthians 2:17).
"For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth." (2 Corinthians 13:8)
P stands for Prayer : We can do nothing without Christ; we are nothing without Christ because Christ is our Everything.
“I am the vine, you are the branches: He who remains in me, and I in him, produces much fruit: for you can do nothing without me” (John 15:5).
