Have you ever prayed something like this?
“Lord Jesus, I will go where You want me to go, do what You want me to do, say what You want me to say, and give what You want me to give.”
Could you say those words now and mean them?
Maybe you need to think about this more deeply. Maybe you need to know more about how a life of following Jesus is meant to work.
The question that needs to be answered is who in your sphere can you reach for Christ in order to build the kingdom?
Seek Others: Being around people with a vision and passion will help you understand and cultivate your own.
Make a Start: Developing your kingdom vision will take time. But you can ask God what He wants to do right here and right now.
Do you want to take a step toward living out your kingdom vision?
Who are the people in your life who understand your Kingdom vision?
Who can help you pursue it by challenging you and asking you the right questions?
Who will commit to praying for you?
If you don’t know who they are, pray and ask God how you will find your team.
Followers of Jesus find ways to connect with people who share their kingdom vision and encourage them to take steps of faith. They do life together and learn from each other over time. They don't just attend events or programs.
Your plan doesn’t need to be complicated or foolproof, but you've got to know what you're doing and how you think you will do it.
What are you asking God for specifically?
What are you going to do now, next and after that?
What support do you and your team need to stay on track with your kingdom vision?
When you have answered these 3 questions, you’ve begun your plan.
Everything important that you will do in life — whether it’s being a spouse, a parent, a teacher or a vocational missionary — requires ongoing equipping.
