“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philipians 2:13-14
This week’s church planting movement principle is: Regularly Review, Revise, And Regroup. Taking stock daily is important in keeping a movement going, growing and multiplying. A constant and daily return to God to check in and ask for ‘what’s next’ is vital in the life of a disciple maker. Running off ahead without the consistent, constant guidance of the Holy Spirit is very dangerous. Press forward always into whatever God has called you to, as in Philippians 2:13-14: “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Don’t be afraid to make mistakes--we learn from our mistakes. Ask God to help us keep trusting and not to become discouraged. Ask God to give movement coaches and disciple makers vision and courage to evaluate the work regularly and clearly see what needs to be continued, started, changed or stopped.
This week's prayer for the Jews, Israel, and One New Man:
| Freedom from Evil Agendas: God, Our Wise Father, deliver Israel and the Jewish people around the world from unwise counsel, evil agendas, or hindrances to Your good purposes for them. Jeremiah 30:8 |
