INTRODUCTION
A great deal about being a household leader depends not on what you do, but on who you are. A lot of it has to do with the state of the heart. A Household leader should have a heart for God and a heart for His people. Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example of love, faith and purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 We are reminded that it not our age that will determine our response to be household leaders but what is in our hearts and the actions that we do.

B. A Household leader knows that his number one role and goal is to bring his members to Jesus
1. Jesus Saves He knows that no amount of his own love, or guidance or processing can heal and change his members He knows only Jesus saves. 2. His mission statement is Before my members leave the Household, they must have felt and seen Jesus! He looks for opportunities to help them be more aware and open to Gods presence Praisefests, prayer meetings, household meetings, fellowship, honoring sessions, mission trips / youth camps, conferences etc Like Martha and Mary, we should have a heart that listens to God in order for us to be like Martha in taking care of other people. We work as hard as Martha but we remained fixed on Jesus like Mary.
There are three questions a household leader should regularly ask about his members
1. Are they happy? Do each of my members realize his dignity? Hows his love-life, or relationships in school, family? Etc 2. Are they healthy? How are the grades of my member? Is he well? 3. Are they holy? This is probably the most important question Do they know Jesus?
