Preparation of The True Priesthood (Leaders) : Power House Leadership Training
Preparation of The True Priesthood (Leaders) : Power House Leadership Training
GOAL
To help students understand how to become true leaders and to carefully consider the price
they should pay.
AIM
1. Students must be able to understand the biblical qualifications of a true leader.
2. Students must be determined to strive to be a true leader.
3. Students must rely on God’s power and His grace on their journey.
INTRODUCTION
Before we start, what are the qualifications of being a leader? Write a list of what you believe
is the proper prerequisites of a leader.
We need to change our mindset from worldly to biblical qualifications of a leader; otherwise,
we cannot bear fruit, and our ministry is not any different.
Today, we come to the word of God to find God’s way of creating a leader.
Examples from students: Leaders have to know how to serve others, know how to
obey authority, participating, leaders must die to self, leaders must be passionate to
save souls, leader must be alive in the Lord, must be responsible, must be able to
sacrifice, anointing from God by Holy Spirit, know how to pray/worship to God in their
secret place, someone who has vision/freedom from God, know how to fast/pray etc.
BODY
All points come from Leviticus Background of Leviticus
God spoke to Moses, it is time to ordain priests because temple was made
Priest = one who comes between God and man as mediator, through priest
two parties can come together
We are called to be royal priests, spiritually we are doing the same thing (in
between God and all nations, bringing nations to God as royal priest)
According to Paul, we are ministers, as a new creation, our job is
ministers of reconciliation
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (20)

Reading: Leviticus 8
To be a true leader:
A. Stripped, naked of all things Public humiliation, nothing left to hide
* Are you ready to be broken?
1. To be a leader is not to receive the glory of man.
2. In order to be a true leader, you must go through nakedness and
brokenness so God can deal with your issues.
Ex) Preacher on pulpit seemingly anointed, but at home has problems.
** Godly character is what God is looking for, before you minister.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
Through the word, God will reveal your heart, motivations, hidden
sin, inner wounds and hurts training in righteousness
Without being cleansed in Word of God and process, cannot be
fully equipped to do God’s work
If not want to be stripped and broken, do not dare to be a leader
Hebrew 4:12
Word of God has the power to reveal, nothing is hidden, all is bare
B. Brokenness and changes
First Qualification: stripped, naked, broken and bear through public humiliation
The process is important! First broken, then clothed. Now always need to carry holiness,
keeping the holiness God has given you. If you carry holiness, God will anoint you.
Open your eyes to see what is happening in the church. We have everything!
We have all technology and program. But what is missing? The anointing of
the Holy Spirit! Their lives are not changed without H.S.
What we do is from God! God commanded us how to minister, what to say,

God will give us the vessel to minister. When we obey, God will prove our
message by pouring out His Spirit.
B. There is an extreme penalty for anyone who made anything like it.
1. Strong human personality
a) People confuse this for anointing.
2. Technology
a) Watchman Nee warned us in the 1920s that the deadliest
deception of the Last Days will be the soulish substitute for the realm
of Spirit that would come through technology.
b) Can deceive people into thinking there is anointing.
*** Difference is fruit not number of followers BUT how many souls coming to the
K.O.G., how their lives are changed, if Jesus is reigning over them, giving lives for
others, sacrificing for others to preach and give life to others.
TRUE ANOINTING see through eyes of God, true conversion
VI. Your reward will be the glory of God not glory from man (Lev. 9:22-24)
A. Glory of God will come into the ministry.
B. Nobody will bring praise or recognition, might actually endure persecution.
1. God did not promise glory of people, God promised His glory.
2. We desire to bring glory of God to the people, to us.

CONCLUSION - Challenge
1. Jesus went through this process we must go through it also.
*** Our Lord Jesus was the model of a true spiritual leader.
2. Leader is one who is willing to give one’s life for the sake of others.
3. God will be with you during this process.
4. Forget about seeking the glory from man.
APPLICATION
This is the perfect message for us right now! These six steps are progressive (need to do
first step before second) and continuous (go through it many times throughout one’s life).
How can you know you are being broken, or know which area needs to be broken? It cannot
be done without a dedicated relationship. In order for this to be done, we need a place in
which we can be stripped, clothed, anointed. Can be done through dedication to this
ministry…willing to be stripped etc.
*** Mentorship and discipleship idea is to be formed into the character of Jesus
Christ.
Starting a Power House is becoming a trendy idea. First, must go through this process.
Second, wait on the Lord. This way, can check on your heart and motivation.
ex) Nehemiah and his work in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem
