PLANNING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I have heard many teachers make the statement, "If you fail to plan you plan to fail!" What are your plans in the missional aspects of your life? Is it just a random stab here and there. There is this pastor in Atlanta that has a passion for Haiti. His name is Shaun King. If you follow him on twitter (@shaunking) or his blog ShaunintheCity.com you will know what his passion is. Are you aware of your missional passion? It is clear that Jesus believes that our Christian life is reflected in how we reach out to the hungry, thirsty, naked, and poor. It is clear that we are to reach out to orphans, widows and prisoners. Create a missional plan. How much money will you invest each month? How much time will you invest? If you do not have a missional plan you will fail at being missional.

What is going to be your first missional move? Let me know.

WHAT IS YOUR GAME PLAN?

If that is your game work at it. When Tiger Woods began working on his golf game he was not Tiger. When LeBron James began working on his basketball skills he was not LeBron. You got to work on your game when no one knows who you are. You have to work on your game when no one is looking.

Proverbs 16:3 (ESV) Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

What is “your plans”? You need a game plan. How are you going to win without a plan. 

I have heard it said that if you do not have a plan then you plan to fail. Put a plan together and become the best in the world at your game.

I have to have a family plan, church plan, preaching plan, and a leading plan.

If I do not, I will most likely never reach God’s desired goals for my life. 

WHAT IS YOUR GAME?

What is your game? What is it that dominates your thinking? What is it you wake up thinking about? What is it you go to bed thinking about?  What is it that you live for? 

Here are MY games:

Family – Church – Preaching – Leading

These things dominate my mind. I wake up thinking about them. I go to bed thinking about them.

Proverbs 16:3 (ESV) Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

What is your game? What is it that you know God has called you to?
