Some thoughts on how to stay sharp as you mature this year.
- To be a sufficient, faithful servant, you must remove expectations other place on you and work more towards being effective for Christ and His kingdom.
- No one assumes any more that you are “spiritual/Godly person”. What you have in your heart will come out at some point in your life. Match what you participate and practice to what you preach.
- To truly be someone who will minister well means that you must spend a lifetime learning.
- Relationships will make or break you. Just because might be a great thinker means very little if you cannot interact with others around you.
- Be prepared to enter into a bigger venue if you want to have a bigger influence.
- The power of a great sermon lies in a balance between what is said in large and small group settings.
- Effective ministry remains powerful when a team is utilized. It is never about you.
- Compare yourself to others only for the opportunity to help understand that you can always be better at what God has gifted you to do. Remove the comparison when you desire that which another brother or sister has obtained.
- Just because you look good on paper means very little if you are not able to preform.
