I got one more thing to do Touch somebody, say
we got to build a team we got to build a team
you got to build a team we got to build a team
because we're getting ready to go someplace we've never gone before
we're getting ready to do things that we've never done before
We're getting ready to ascend To a height
that we've never seen before
now we're going to pick the team
These are the people that you gonna ride with
you gonna ride shotgun with
These will be your Road dogs and you're running buddies
something's about that
I'm going to show you how to pick your team
The Bible spends more time Showing us how
Jesus picked his team than it does telling us about
what he did most of the Gospels
if it tells you how he met his team
because it's all about the twelve
not the five thousand it's about the twelve
choosing the right team
now can I give you some things for the right team
I amma give you these final three criterias
to choose your team
One you're going to have confidants
okay you're gonna have confidants you got to have confidants
you got to trust somebody you cannot be a great leader
and not have anybody you can talk to
you got to have somebody you can talk to
and be honest and be open and safe
this is how it really is
I'm really stressed out I'm sick of all of them
I'm frustrated
it's getting on my nerve you got to have a confidant
somebody with whom you can be transparent and be honest
out of the 12 you got to have some three
some inner circle that get close around you
These are the guys, you carry upon the Mount of Transfiguration
these are the road dogs who run with you
and they see you and they understand you
and they're your confidants
and if you have three in your lifetime
you've done real good
if you have three confidants in a lifetime
that you can really trust and talk to and open up to
you've done real good so this category
is your smallest category they are your confidants
they are people who are with you
they are with you
if you go up there with you
if you go down there with you
if you get stuck they are with you
if everybody starts dogging on you
and hating you they are still with you
if you have three you've done really well
they know what you're afraid that
somebody else will find out
and they are still with you
these are the people that being around them
is so comfortable you can behave
as if you were by yourself
you don't get tired of your confidants
because you don't have to change your behavior
in their presence
The reason you get tired of being around people
is because you putting on and you want them to leave
so that you can relax but there is somebody
that doesn't have to leave for you
to relax because they're your confidant
they know who you really are
I'm teaching so good
I think I might get this tape myself
The confidant's commitment is to you
not to your cause
it is to you not to your cause
the confidant is in it with you
because of you not because of your cause
You are the center of their gravitational pull
and if you have confidants
you have to remember to feed your confidants you
because the confidant is not in it for the money
they're not in it for the prestige
they're not in it for the recognition
they're not in it for the title they are in it because of you
and if you start starving your confidants of your attention
they will wither up and die
because their only attraction was not to the cause
it was always to you
I lost a very good employee one time over this
because I thought the guy was coming
because of the cause and in fact
he was coming because of me
and it didn't work out well in the position
because working in the position gave him less and less of me
until he finally got frustrated and left
I thought he left over the money or
left over the stress
and later when we did the debriefing
he left because he couldn't spend time with me
his commitment was to me and not to the cause
if you get that twisted you will be feeding them things
that would motivate anybody else
and they'll be withering because a confidant lives
and breathes off of their relationship with you
oh this is good
The second category is your constituents
your constituents
your constituents are with it
they are with it they are with the cause
NOT you
they are only with you because of the cause
they will confuse you because they look just like
a confidant they're walking right beside you
just like a confidant they talk the same language
as a confidant but they are there
because of the cause and not because of you
these are constituents their attraction is the mission
now you can still have them with you
but you have to know
they're with you
they are with you as long as you are
getting them closer and closer to the mission
and they walk
just like the confidant
but understand that the constituent
will leap out of your fellowship
and jump onto another person fellowship
because it's helping to get bit closer to where
they're trying to go
it was never about you in the first place
it was about the cause and if it furthers
their agenda they'll leave you in a heartbeat
and leave you with your heart broken
because you thought they loved you
they've never loved you they love what you do
and when they met somebody
who can take them there quicker
they left you because it was never about you
It was about it
These are constituents
these three categories
are divided by
The difference between the constituent
and the confidant is motives
they do the same thing
but they do it for different reasons
and the reason people get it confused
is because they're both doing the same thing
they're both working they're both standing right beside you
they're both in it to win it they're both trying
to encourage you
they're both fighting the good fight
one of them will be with you
even if the cause goes down
one of them will be with you
even if somebody comes and offers him
a quick road to get there without you
but the other one if they see a quicker route
or if they think it might be a quicker route
they will leave you in a heartbeat
well I'm not gonna pick anybody like
that you cannot have a room full of confidants
you have to be able to work with people
who come and go am i helping anybody
these are constituents they come and go
they coming with me I like to call them scaffolding
Scaffolding goes right up against the building
it's doubled up against the building
it's so tight up against the building
you can't get in between the scaffolding and the building
but when the building is up
the scaffolding goes some people come
in your life to get you to your next destination
they didn't come to stay they came to leave
you have to love them when they come
and love them when they go
and say
the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
blessed be the name of the Lord
don't get bitter over constituents
if you get bitter over constituents
it's because your mentality is still back up there
on that back row
and you don't understand
that you have to be a 360 thinker
in order to handle it
this my good stuff
can I give you a little bit more of this?
And this driving pastors today crazy
People today join churches for different reasons
than ever before sometimes it's not their commitment
to the pastor at all
It is not their commitment to him
his charisma or anything about that
sometimes they'll join the church
because the church feeds homeless people
and they have a passion for that and they come
and join your church because
it doesn't have anything to do with your preaching
in fact while you preaching they out there handing soup out
and then when they leave the pastor is angry
You can't get angry about that Thank God
you served some soup
God bless you
because in order for you to stay pure as a leader
if you don't get this now
You're gonna become bitter and cynical
and start fighting and lose the thing
that got you there in the first place
as a leader
you have to be able to rejoice
you become rejoice when they go
you gotta be even keel because you've got to know
you'll have all those all those different types
of you
you got to know that everybody
that comes to save you cannot have a love affair
with a Temp
you knew when she came she was going to work
six months
that's why you called temporary services
I'm not working on the people
that are coming and going
I'm working on the leader whose heart is broken
about the people who are coming and going
because you are feeling like you're up there
but you are living like you're here
and I'm trying to get those things
to come together that you begin
to get the mentality of the position
that you're in I'm talking about the
attitude of greatness
necessitates that you do more than love when they come
you have two for survival sake
Get to the point that you can handle people living
touch your neighbor and say
can you handle the truth
and while you're going through this
God will let people leave you and leave you
until he trains you
and after a while they can leave you
and you still be cool
Hi, how are you doing?
because you understand it what about you
and when you have people in your life
who are there for you
then you don't desperately need everybody
in your whole world to be there for you
I'm trying to get you not to have a personal attitude
in a professional situation Because most people
are living out their personal need
in public places
number three we're going to do
Comrades comrades
I'm your comrade
I'm in the fight with you we will not stop
we will not deter we when I desist
until we have destroyed I am here to help you fight
I am NOT for you I am NOT for your cause
I am NOT for you I am not for what you are for
I am for what you are against
I joined up with you
to help you fight what you are against
Lord have mercy
Comrades when you are in a fight
and somebody joins you
in the fight
don't think they're your friend
because they joined you in the fight
it may not be their attraction to you
that made them fight beside you
it may be their frustration against your enemy
that says if I hate you so bad
that even if I have to fight with her to get you
I'm gonna get you out of the way
and so they are your comrades
the Pharisees and the Sadducees
didn't even like each other but when Jesus came along
they both
oh I can speak it in any language
the Pharisees and the Sadducees
have been hating on each other for years
but when Jesus came along
they both got together as they came to question Jesus
those are comrades
Touch your neighbour and say I see my team
I understand now whether I'm running
a beauty shop or a computer business
I'm going to have confidants
I'm going to have constituents
and I'm going to have comrades
and when it serves the purpose of moving
what I'm the leader of forward
I will hook up with whoever
I have to hook up with
to do what I've got to do
to get to the next level
there's nothing wrong with that
as long as I understand
which one of you is which
don't let me get lonely and confide
in a comrade
because then
when the fight is over you're gonna use
what I told you to kill
I'm helping somebody I don't know who it is
see that's what happened to you
you say your friend betrayed you
but they were never your friend
in the first place
They didn't betray your sister Betty
they were never for you
they were just along for the ride
to help you fight who you were
fighting against
and then they will use what you confided in them
to destroy you because one thing
you can count on a fighter to do
IS FIGHT
