Over the coming weeks we will be looking at certain aspects which I believe will help us to be people who achieve success in everything, not only in the church and our ministries, but in all areas of our lives. The world is rapidly advancing and we the church of the 21st Century cannot be left behind: take note and before you read this teaching, make sure that it will filter through and deeply penetrate your feelings, heart, mind, emotions, intellect, will, etc.

1. You must be someone who is effective in all things. The key principle here is to not allow anyone to distract you from fulfilling your destiny. In practice, this is to quickly answer your mobile phone and respond promptly to emails. I want to communicate that effectiveness is internal, in your heart, and is a vital part of your character. Nehemiah is an excellent example of this.

2. Work 24 hours a day for the Kingdom of God. Work for your country, and work also for your own growth. As a person grows, they have more to give to others, their focus in working is to yield more and this brings greater dividends (blessing?) further down the line. To feel a sense of belonging in the Kingdom of God gives us a better perspective of eternity, considering also that God will finish what he starts. In Ephesians 1:6, Paul says we must be fully persuaded that what He begins, He will categorically finish, so it is time to advance in the Kingdom.

3. Clearly understand that God calls you not as you want but as He wants. This means that God planted you in your church: this is your place. It was God’s strategy. He gave you pastors and placed people around you for you to serve? In Romans 11:29, the apostle Paul said that the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable, therefore there is no reason to doubt this great truth. F

urthermore, God always has better plans for us than we have for ourselves which we are to carry out if we fully prepare. Everything is in His hands, so now make firm decisions regarding your calling. When someone is called, it is not to be passive. Synonymous with the call of God is total passion and action. Now is the time to wake up and live in this world with total submission to God and his will. There are 12 points overall and we will cover three per week.

With love in Christ.
