A "Change Your World" Leader.
1. Defines the mission clearly.
The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king," if it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my fathers are buried so that I can rebuild (the wall)." Nehemiah 2:4-5
If you can't define your mission in your life then you can't do it. You have to be specific with your mission.
"Love everyone" - not specific enough
"Love children" - which children?
"Love the homeless children in peru" - make sure your mission is specific and doable.
What is God leading you to do?
2. Makes plans carefully.
...It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time. I also said him,"If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah? And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's forest, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates... and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?" Nehemiah 2:6-8
Make plans and preperations behind the scene. Nehemiah was planning behind the scenes to know who is incharge of the timber.
Make your plans step by step. Think, what is the first step. Start from there, then ask what is the next step.
Nehemiah goes to Jerusalem, during the night he inspects the wall. Later on he gathers the people, and defines to the people the mission.
3. Inspires people passionately.
Then I said to them," You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace." I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replies,"Let us start rebuilding ." So they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:17-18
If you light yourself with passion, people from everywhere will come and see you.
