GOD HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK…��

PHILIPPIANS 1:6-“…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…”

ESTHER 4:14- “Yet who knows whether you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?”

CREDIBILITY IN THE KINGDOM

CREDIBILITY = THE MEASURE OF TRUST GOD PLACES ON A LEADER

​

• NOT PLATFORM

​

• NOT GIFTS

​

• NOT VISIBILITY

​

​

FAITHFULNESS TRUST AUTHORITY

​

​

​

​

SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION

• 1 Timothy 1:12- “ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into ministry.

​

• Luke 16:10- “Faithful in little…faithful in much.”

THREE REALMS OF BIBLICAL CREDIBILITY

1. Identity- Who God knows you to be
2. Integrity- How you govern your interior world
3. Obedience- What you do with God’s voice

6

IDENTITY

Ephesians 2:10

​

1 Peter 2:9

​

Identity is your first credential.

7

INTEGRITY

Proverbs 10:9

Psalm 15

Integrity = internal alignment with Truth

8

OBEDIENCE

Acts 13:22

John 14:21

Obedience is God’s measure of maturity.

�WHY CREDIBILITY MATTERS:�CREDIBILITY PRECEDES ASSIGNMENT

Before public trust Private testing

​

Before elevation Refinement

​

Before authority Alignment

10

IF YOU HAVE CALLING WITHOUT CREDIBILITY, YOUR VOICE COLLAPSES.��IF YOU HAVE CREDIBILITY WITHOUT CALLING, YOUR INFLUENCE WANDERS.

11

����BIBLICAL EXAMPLE:�KING SAUL��- FEARED PEOPLE MORE THAN GOD (1 SAM 15:24)�- OFFERED SACRIFICES HE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO GIVE�- PROTECTED REPUTATION OVER OBEDIENCE�- HE LACKED THE INTERNAL CREDIBILITY TO SUSTAIN HIS CALLING

EXAMPLE OF FAILED CREDIBILITY BEFORE PUBLIC CALLING

​

​

** Saul had a calling statement but he did not have the credibility to carry it…

WHAT A CALLING STATEMENT REALLY IS

• Not branding
• Not identity hype
• Not aspiration

​

A calling statement is a governing prophetic document.

Habakkuk 2:2, Isaiah 30:21, Romans 4:17

13

WHAT CALLING STATEMENTS DO

​

• Names the weight God has placed on your life
• Defines the direction your obedience must take
• Regulates what you say yes to and what you must say no to
• Becomes a measuring tool for your stewardship before God

14

“Walk worthy of the calling you have received.” ~ Ephesians 4:1

HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER

Credibility gives weight Calling gives direction

​

Credibility = WHY people trust your voice

​

Calling = WHERE your voice is assigned

CREDIBLE CALLING STATEMENTS

​

Scripture: 2 Cor 5:17, Galatians 2:20

Prompt: “I am…”

​

2. Assignment- What you are called to do

​

Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20

Prompt: “I am called to…”

​

CREDIBLE CALLING STATEMENTS

3. People- Who are you called to reach

​

Scripture: Luke 4:18, Isaiah 61

Prompt: “I am called to serve…”

​

4. Values- How you will carry the call

​

Prompt: “I will lead with…”

​

​

ALIGNMENT PROMPTS

1. HOLY SPIRIT, REVEAL WHO YOU SAY I AM.

​

• LORD, WHAT ASSIGNMENT ARE YOU ENTRUSTING TO ME NOW?

​

• WHO HAVE YOU CALLED ME TO CARRY, SHAPE, DISCIPLE OR INFLUENCE?

​

• WHAT NON-NEGOTIABLES MUST GOVERN MY LEADERSHIP?
