Welcome to Leaders United By Purpose (LUBP)!! LUBP is a network of Christian Leaders in ministry, in business, and of organizations. Networking is a good way to enrich your ministry and leadership. Through LUBP, you can build relationships with other leaders that will be a good resource for finding speakers, becoming conference buddies, creating personal accountability, and for discussion and evaluation of things that have worked and not worked in our ministries, etc. This is a network where you can also find resources and help for those in need who do not live in your specific geographic location. It is an efficient way for us to share and spread knowledge, promote, advertise, and support one another in our endeavors to continue uplifting and building the Kingdom of God.

It is our prayer that you will have an enlightening and enjoyable experience in this network, and that God will abundantly bless and reward all that you do for Him. Stay connected, informed, and committed to helping each other take our ministries, churches, organizations, and businesses to the next level!

God’s word will: Help you grow, read it daily; Keep you from sinning, memorize it; Teach you how to live, study it; Guide you, meditate on it; Inspire you, hear it taught. Then, if you are still not convinced that God’s word is true – Practice obeying it!

AS MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, WE MUST BE: BIG ENOUGH TO ADMIT WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES SMART ENOUGH TO PROFIT FROM OUR MISTAKES AND STRONG ENOUGH TO CORRECT OUR MISTAKES. As children of God in Leadership we must take hold of these qualities if we are to be successful in leading others. A good leader will admit when they are wrong, learn from it and then correct it.

Speak Lord; Your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 3-9

As we plan our day, we need to realize that our plans can be subject to change by God. Listening for His instructions is vital, in our service to Him. There’s no special place we need to be to hear Him speak, but we do need to be listening with our hearts. It may be a gentle nudge or even a rebuke. He will whisper, “Go this way”. What great comfort, to know that the God of the universe is with us and leading us, as we go through our day. God can change our every day routines into something dynamic, if we will listen, receive His instructions and act on them.

Prayer:
We desire to serve you with every moment of our lives. We are listening today for the sound of Your voice. Lead us and guide us through even the smallest details of our lives. Speak to our hearts today we are listening.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
