I was reflecting this morning on this year and all of the many blessings that the Lord has done- even during the times of loss, mistakes and hurt.
As leaders, we need a Word to help us to prepare for next year and beyond as I believe that each year is a building block- a stepping stone in this journey called “life”.
Since we are here, we have a responsibility- a duty to press forward and upward for Gods glory.
As leaders, we should perform an annual assessment – the process of strategic planning. This is less about goal setting but more around energy allocation planning:
⁃ How are we directing our seeds of life- our time, our talents and our treasures?
⁃ How do we effectively position ourselves to receive not just the 30 folds or 60 fold return on our energies but the 100 fold return?
⁃ How do we achieve Maximum Impact?
One thought that comes to mind is that we have to recognize the season that we are in spiritual, emotionally, and physically:
⁃ What are the tools and resources that we currently have available to us?
⁃ What are the tools and skills we need to study and meditate on in the word and acquire to aggressively pursue what god has placed on our hearts to achieve?
⁃ What are the the habits, thoughts and behaviors that we need to purge/ let go of to draw closer to Christ?
My second thought surrounds the need to “Checkin” on our relationships to ensure that they are thriving and are still fruitful.
Some may need rearranging and others may need an investment of time as relationships are all that matter as they provide the spice and richness of life.
My third thought surrounds achieving the I00 fold return mindset – the true desire to live as the scripture states: purposefully, worthily and accurately.
How do we accomplish something great and transformational in this season as we want to flow with the Holy Spirit. We just want to be in the center of gods will/ his word.
Lastly, we must do the work of committing our thoughts, dreams and action plans to paper- no matter how small or comprehensive.
This brings clarity and power when we find a reinforcing scripture.When we are in agreement with the Word, Christ will be in the midst of the plan and his presence, multiplication, grace, mercy, revelation, peace, confidence, rest and provision exists. OMG, thank you Lord!
It is my sincere prayer that in this season that we will write the vision, come into agreement with the Word and flow into our devine appointment where there is no lack but all sufficient in all things in Christ Jesus.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
Dream Bigger!
“Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.”
Ephesians 5:15-16 AMPC
“And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. [Heb. 10:37, 38.]”
Habakkuk 2:2-3 AMPC
“Other seeds fell on good soil, and yielded grain–some a hundred times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some thirty. He who has ears [to hear], let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.”
Matthew 13:8-9 AMPC
