PURPOSE, POSITION, PROVISION, PERSPECTIVE
PURPOSE
- Your purpose is fruitfulness.
- Fruitfulness brings God glory.
ACTION PLAN: In John 15:5-8, Jesus said that if we abide in him and he abides in us we will bear fruit, his Father will be glorified, and that shows we are Jesus' disciples. This week, practice abiding in Jesus by reading John 15 every morning and memorizing John 15:5.
POSITION
- If I am faithful where I am planted, I will be fruitful.
PROVISION.
- In Christ, and in my assignment, I have all things.
ACTION PLAN: There is still time to start the 90-day challenge. Sign up here and take your first step by either beginning to give, beginning to tithe or by giving above the tithe.
PERSPECTIVE.
- There are two primary filters or lenses for my perspective.
-
- Faith and Fear
- Is my perspective about mooch or master?
- Is my perspective about poverty or plenty?
ACTION PLAN: Go for a walk and find a place to sit down and pray about the things you have learned during this teaching series. Thank him for changing your perspective about transferring trust about financial matters to basing it on the goodness of God. Thank him for a new understanding that you have been called to fruitfulness and that he has planted you exactly where he wants you to be.
