God has called me to serve Him by leading a congregation of His people.
My leading must not be simply investigating, analyzing, tweaking, and applying various methodologies and philosophies for Church growth.
My leading must not be motivated by a determination to convince or coerce the Church to embrace contemporary trends or to maintain classic traditions.
My leading must not be to simply chart a course according to polls, surveys, points of consensus, demands, opportunities, or even needs.
My calling is to wait on the Lord for His direction and be patient until I hear the voice of the Spirit say,
“This is the way, take it!”
“This is the place, claim it!”
“This is the field, harvest it!”
“This is the vision, share it!”
“This is the plan, implement it!”
“This is the opportunity, take it!”
“This is the time, start it!”
“This is your promise, believe it!”
“This is your word, speak it!”
“This is your weapon, use it!”
“This is your battle, win it!”
“This is your victory, celebrate it!”
My calling is to be the “Trumpet of the Lord” giving a certain sound that alerts the people of God that the Spirit of God is moving, and the Glory of the Lord is rising!
