E.M.E.R.G.E.
EMERGE MINISTRY COACHING
I’m a Ministry Coach, not a Life or Business Coach. So, you must be called to ministry or engaged in it, or this won’t be a fit for you.
Who needs a Coach? EVERYONE! Obviously, the one who is called, “Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, and Everlasting Father”, is the SUPREME BEING COACH. That said, “No one stands in their own shoulders.” No Preacher is beyond needing “sharpening and fine tuning.” No one can make you anything. Either you have the “IT FACTOR”, or you have the “IT IS NOT FACT!” But, those who are teachable, arrive at the place they saw in their night time dreams and day time visions. Here’s an in-depth explanation of E.M.E.R.G.E. Read all of it and if you’re interested, proceed to the questionnaire.
THE EMERGE NAME MEANING
emerge:
TEXT: II Kings 6:1
The disciples of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we’re staying is too small for us. 2 Let’s go to the Jordan River. Each of us can get some logs and make a place for us to live there.”Elisha said, “Go ahead.” 3 Then one of the disciples asked, “Won’t you please come with us?” Elisha answered, “I’ll go.”4 So he went with them. They came to the Jordan River and began to cut down trees. 5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. He cried out, “Oh no, master! It was borrowed!” 6 The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed Elisha the place, Elisha cut off a piece of wood. He threw it into the water at that place and made the ax head float. 7 Elisha said, “Pick it up.” The disciple reached for it and picked it up.
One: The axe: The tool of Ministry
Two: It was lost, while in Ministry
Three: It was located, therefore, not lost.
Four: The wood speaks of the cross.
Five: The water represents humanity.
Six: The axe EMERGED. (Float)
Seven: It had to be Picked Back Up.
MENTOR
The name ultimately means "adviser’ The term mentos "intent, purpose, spirit, passion.” Latin mon-i-tor "one who admonishes"), “causes to think."
Mentoring releases mantles and mandates, through teaching and training by expertise and example. Mentoring uses explanation to produce demonstration.
A good teacher explains scripture.A great teacher demonstrates scripture.A master teacher is themselves a student, who teaches, and their students can then “do” the scripture.
**They EMERGE, not just smarter,but better.
**They EMERGE challenged, charged, and changed.
Emerge Ministry Coaching (EMC)
The things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things and the God of peace will be with you.
–Philippians 4:9.
FOUR COMPONENTS of EMC
Impartation | “When the Spirit Of God comes upon you in a greater way to release the gifts that God has supernaturally deposited in you.”
COACHING GREATNESS IN MINISTERS’
Genesis 26:13
"And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” ( re-dug fathers Wells)
One translation renders this verse: “Wealthier and Wealthier.... became very wealthy....” Another says, “Richer and Richer,.... become very rich.”
MINISTRY IS NEVER ABOUT MONEY!
The point is, “You Will Get Paid. Your Payday is in the Glory. Whatever is right, God will pay.”
The text reveals three things:
Waxed great: POTENCY
Grew: POTENTIAL
Went Forward: PROGRESS
To be great, “Study the Great!”
Study and Show Yourself Approved.’
Watchman Nee taught, “WE MUST DEAL WITH GOD AND BE DEALT WITH BY GOD.”
Sports Coaches: Many were once, players themselves. That’s why many Apostles, who have Pastor’d or Pastor’s who have Evangelized, THEY KNOW THE GAME. the GAME OF LIFE!!!
GOD ALWAYS USES OTHERS TO HELP US and He isn’t jealous. He gets the glory.
GREAT COACHES have NO LESS THAN EIGHT QUALITIES THAT TRANSFER TGE CHAMPION SPIRIT.
1) They are Experts
2) They have Vision
3) They are Passionate
4) They are Caring Individuals
5) They are Mentally Tough
6) They can handle Victory and Defeat
7) They keep Plowing, No Matter.
8) They are essentially Teachers,
which is the Fruit of a Leader.
MINISTRY COACHES are Spiritual Impacters, who are used by God to sharpen the dull and help others to recover their cutting edge.
Elisha was his Coach. He brought him to recovery. In sports, players mostly know HOW. Under good coaches, they learn WHY.
They bring the game thrills.
The Coach hones their skills.
Whenever you see a Hall of Fame inductee, they always thank their coaches from beginning to end.
God is revealing the ‘WHY’ in this season.
The WHY takes the HOW and PEAK PERFORMANCE is the result.
Mentoring does that. Good Coaching is key to bring out greatness. Nobody can be made a great preacher by another or by themselves. This grace gift comes from God and God Alone. However, others can “bring out your greatness.” They can see what you don’t see, till you can see it. When you see it, you will Be it.
GOD SAYS: “This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.” You must believe Him. You are Destined to Win!
God requires our BEST RESPONSE. Mentoring produces the BEST RESULTS.
EXAMPLE: John Wooden was named “Coach of the Century” by Sports Illustrated.
He was the legendary coach of UCLA, coached his team to 10 championships in 12 years, with 4 undefeated seasons, and an 88 game win streak.
Surprisingly, He NEVER mentioned WINNING! Here’s a few snippets of what he taught his players.
Partnership
then Discipleship,
then Stewardship,
then Leadership,
then Apostleship,
Ultimately Sonship.
You become what you already are. Updated and Upgraded.
Proverbs 29:21
“He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.”
MENTORS REMOVE THE ORPHAN SPIRIT!
APPLICATION:
The Lord Jesus requires response.
The Holy Spirit produces results.
We obey. He moves.
We study. He teaches.
We Yield. He leads.
We say yes.
He says, “Well Done!”
Jesus didn’t Coach per se.
He didn’t MENTOR either.
He MODELED.
He MANIFESTED the Father.
He MEDIATED.
He MOVED among men.
He MASTER TAUGHT
Acts 1:1
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
First: Jesus taught extraordinarily.
To the Multitudes he spoke in “parables.”
To the 12 disciples, he revealed “principles.”
To the three, he exposed his “passion.”
To the one, (John), he showed his “purpose.”
Second: Jesus trained exemplary.
Matthew23:3
““All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.”
John 13:15
“For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.”
NOTE: Coaches show you what they want from you. Jesus Modelled what God wants from us.
He was PLAYER-COACH. He taught by deed, not just word.
TEACHER: He explained scripture (that’s a good teacher), demonstrated it (a great teacher), they duplicated his example
A Master teacher). He possessed all 8 qualities of a great coach.
1. He was Expert:
They Called Him Lord
2. He had Vision:
They Knew Him As Prophet
3. He was Passionate:
He Wept. He Pressed.
4. He was Caring:
He Fed Famished Multitudes
5. He was Mentally Tough:
Endured The Cross.
6. He handled Victory and Defeat:
He Rose 3rd Day.
7. He kept Plowing:
He declared, “It Is Accomplished!”
8. He was a Teacher:
He “taught with authority.”
EVEN COACHES NEED TO BE COACHED.
Wooden said, “I always thought I was a better coach this year than I was last year, because of what the previous year taught me.
Trust the Holy Spirit. He will do it, even if He bypasses a human and GIVES YOU DAILY CONFERENCE AND COMMUNION WITH HIMSELF.
CONCLUSION:
Let’s be our best. That’s true success.
If God promised you’d write books,
then, pick up a pen.
If He promised you a marriage,
become your best self again.
If he promised good success, then
amp Up the way you look and dress.
If He promised a new day, then,
watch the words you say.
If He promised a new beginning,
then get used to winning, stop sinning.
If He promised to bless your family,
then right the wrongs of your history.
If He promised coming money,
then increase in faith, speed up your destiny.
Be great, not just good. Believe in God,
like you know He could and would!
Dr. King said, “If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures,
sweep streets like Beethoven composed music ... Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry.
Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”
