10 things to know while being used by God 

 

 -1  Your character will be tested more than your competency 

You don’t need to know how to read a spreadsheet or pass any test per se’ you can be used by God just the way you are… but your character will be tested. Do you want to be used by God more than sleeping with your girlfriend. Do you want to be used by God more than sharing gossip about someone. Do you want to be used by God enough to tithe in hard financial times. Do you want to be used by God more than you want to make up excuses? Do you want to be used by God more than sleeping in and skipping your quiet time.

 

Its not a skill level - its a will level! 

 

 

   - 2 To be great you must know how to lead people and Leading people is more difficult than learning sign language in mandarin 

 

Here is another secret. you must learn to lead yourself in order to best lead people. But once you get that down, leading people is still hard. But its a must if you want to be used mightily by God. Name one person in scripture who was used by God in mighty ways who didn’t have to lead people. EVEN JESUS who could do anything had to lead people… and it wasn’t easy with the disciples he chose. 

 

  - 3 Strategy is as important as mission and vision

Like anyone who writes Goals… who cares until you write out a strategy to do those goals. Goals are just imaginary wish tales from fairyland unless they have actual steps in place to get them done. 

If you don’t know how to implement a strategy you will fall into the trap of continually changing the vision, mission, purpose or smoother buzz word… but if you can implement a strategy you will get a lot done in the kingdom of God regardless of what you call it.

 

 

  - 4 You will be tempted to cheat on your family because you love God

I worked for an evangelist who was known through out North America and parts of the world. He spoke to millions, he recorded dozens of albums, he led millions to Christ and his family is a farce. None are truly living for God and even more insightful is that none of his kids get along with each other. Truly disastrous…. but he would tell you right up front that ministry was more important than family… and to him it was… unfortunately his family paid the price and is still paying the price.

My Dad used to say “if Jesus already died for my family… why should I crucify them again over ministry”. 

 

 

 

  - 5  Mentors are not optional 

You cannot grow without mentors, accountability partners and leaders in your own life. Find those who are more spiritual than you, more biblical than you, smarter than you, more like Jesus than you, more on fire than you and more in tune with his spirit and gifts than you and soak up what they got. 

 

You know a world class athlete has had up to 15 different coaches in their life to get them to that level. Coaches on nutrition, speed, agility, weight training, coaching for their position, their sport and for the mental aspect of the game. AND THATS JUST SPORTS… we are in the game of spiritual warfare - take it seriously and get a mentor, coach, partner!
