Leadership of Women in Society
Join us as we talk with Jessica Nevines and how she is showing women how to live to their fullest potential.
Author Spotlight: M. Obaseki
Author M. Obaseki was our guest on Modern Living with Dr. Angela, but we thought we'd bring you a little something extra to help you get to know this author. Her book How to be a GREAT Christian Leader: A Workbook for New and Aspiring Leaders in Ministry is available on Amazon.
TELL US ABOUT YOU:
I’m
Deconess M. Obaseki (Author M. Obaseki) and I’ve been a practicing born again
Christian for the last 25 years. I’m
married to a Pastor and serve as the Head
of Training and Development in a Pentecostal Ministry and Executive
Assistant to a Senior Pastor.
I am an author, owner of a publishing company and
sought after public speaker on Church development, growth and Training needs.
REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES IN MINISTRY AND
MY MOTIVATION FOR WRITING THE BOOK:
I’ve
been a strong worker and Leader in ministry and I’ve also experienced good and
bad leadership practices which have had a positive OR negative effect on church
members and the body of Christ. Things usually go wrong starting with the
leadership.
My
passion is to impart what God has given me (a commission to train and develop
workers at all levels right up to leadership) to impact the body of Christ so
that we concentrate on the great commission i.e. the saving and winning of
souls.
I
believe to do this we must start with the Leaders in Ministry who have a direct
influence. If a leader is a late time keeper, their workers and staff will be
the same remember the children will do what their parents do! Leader gossips
their workers will gossip and so on and so forth. The problem is that sometimes
leaders don’t see this in themselves and don’t realize their affect on those
who are working under them.
So
it’s important for leaders to understand their influence and its link with the
growth (or not) of the church and the body of Christ.
TELL US ABOUT THE TITLE OF THE BOOK:
The
title How to be a GREAT Christian Leader was a very calculated move on my part.
There are lots of good even great leadership books which I’ve read particularly
by the late Dr Myles Monroe who I greatly admired. BUT I wanted something that
addressed very new leaders because so often they find themselves in leadership
without knowing what a leader really is.
How to be a GREAT Christian Leader addresses the basic step
by step practical things a leader must know in order to be GREAT. It includes
an analysis of the 4 main personality types and how that can affect
relationships with the people they work with or report to them.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHAPTER IN THE BOOK?
My
favorite chapter in the book is a fantastic 360 degree self-assessment to help
the reader understand their own strengths and weaknesses as a leader so they
know how their behavior and ideology affects those they are working with.
SO WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
I
have the intention of getting an audio recording of How to be a GREAT Christian
Leader book made especially for those who drive a lot or are busy but still
want the practical help with their leadership approach this book offers. I’m
also writing a book especially for Workers in the Vineyard as we speak which
will address some of the challenges they go through.

My Years Leading to Menopause
ISBN-978-0990450559
Chronic Fatigue had me confined to my home, insomnia had me restrained to my bed and depression became my closest friend. Hot flashes disguised a heart attack, night sweats left me in a pool of water and weight gain was out of control. Through my desperation to find myself, I discovered I was not in this camp alone.
In fact, it was more popular than I ever imagined; millions of women were on this road with me. This book I share my research, trial and triumphs and how I survived this season leading to menopause and I trust it will help you just as much.

Is Sustainability a Christian Virtue?
Years ago as a freshman, I was on the mock trial team. My brother was a star high school football player. I role-played lawyer games at courthouses around the state. Often, the student lawyers would make a game out of objecting to actions and questions of the opposition. The judge would then respond, "overruled" or "sustained."
This week at The High Calling, we're talking about sustainability, which is a relatively new concept. Prior to 1960, something was sustainable if it could be legally defended, like our pretend objections during a mock trial.
Forgive me for being a word nerd: by the mid 1960s and early 1970s, the word sustainable developed a business nuance for healthy economic practices that aimed for long-term sustainable growth rather than short-term profits. Only in the 1980s did the word carry the ecological meaning that many of us hear.
Sustainability is a new concept even in our own culture, but at its essence, it is an awareness of future generations. We want to be good stewards of the resources given to us--ecological, economic, educational, and spiritual.
The biblical parallel might be the consummate human integrity, virtue, and maturity associated with teleios. This is the Greek word New Testament Christians used when they looked to the future and imagined the most perfect outcome. Teleios is the perfect end game: the movie that wraps up in exactly the right way. The court case that delivers the perfect verdict. The perfect play at the end of a football game that wins everything for your team.
Paul reminds the Corinthians how we reach these perfect endings. We reach them through love, and love never fails. It is patient. It is kind. It is the perfect attribute of our perfect God.
Our world needs sustainability--and the higher virtue of love--because our world is not perfect or complete. Most of what we experience, we experience in part. Partial things are useless, but love can distinguish partial things from whole things. Love can recognize what things will become useless in the future and what things will lead us to perfection. When we let love rule, when we love God and love our neighbors, we will live and work in ways that are sustainable for future generations.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
1 Corinthians 13:4-10
QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER REFLECTION: What comes to mind when you hear the word sustainability? Is this an idea that inspires you or not? Why? Are you living in such a way that will leave the world a better place for future generations?
PRAYER: Dear God, some ideas like sustainability seem to come from a different world than the world of faith. I know that everything is connected and everything matters to you, but the words we use sometimes divide our lives into God things and other things. Help me to hear your desires underneath all the different types of jargon that people use, and help me stay committed to your desires as I go about my daily work. Let me recognize the long timetable of love--loving not only you and my immediate neighbor, but the neighbors I will never see because they are too far away from me in space or in time. I praise you for being a God beyond space and time. Amen.
