Are you ready to start a ministry market plan to win in 2010?
I ride a motorcycle..Harley Davidson (grin).
One rule for successful riding is you keep your head up at all times. You do not look to the right or left, or at the bumps and holes in the the road, just look straight ahead.
Why?
You go where you look. So I was taught to "look through my turns", look where I want to go, and don't look at the curb or ditch!
As I was praying one day about you and how I can provide for you a valuable ministry market plan to win, I thought about some keys to focus on to make this a reality. (No matter where you are in this year...1st day or 200th)
Whatever win means to you....getting out of debt, seeing a relationship restored, having provision for your destiny, seeing your book published or your band signed to a major contract......
Whatever that win represents, I believe the Word has some amazing truths for us to focus.
This is what came to mind:
Market Plan Key: Fix Your Eyes On Jesus
The key for you in your market plan to win, will be to keep your head up and your eyes fixed on God.
Hebrews 12:1-2: "....looking away (from all that will distract) to Jesus, who is the leader and the source of our faith (giving the first incentive for our belief) and is also the finisher (bringing it to maturity and perfection)...(vs 2 AMPLIFIED)
Another key has to do with sowing, investing.
Aside from the obvious blessing and principle of sowing financially (and with your time) into the Kingdom of God (tithes and offerings), I also believe this pertains to investing your talents God has given you to obtain more for the buildingof His Kingdom.
The parable of the talents comes to mind (Math. 25:14-29).
I truly am convinced that how we handle our talents and gifts can determine our harvest.God is looking for faithfulness with the little to see if He can bless us with the much.
For example...if you are a Christian singer, do you sing your heart out for the few...the 20 people at a local concert, like you would for the 20,000, at a large auditorium.
Are we thankful for the "few" God has given for us to minister to, to preach to, to write for.....to teach....
Are we thankful for the few before the much?
One other area to consider in all this is how we invest in our time.
Are we investing in learning a new skill, or refining one we already have. Are we taking the time and finances for personal development, for learning more about God's principles....?
Have we ever thought of having a ministry or business market plan to win...to rescue our family's finances, to bless others, to give God tremendous glory...to...fulfill a dream....???
Finally, I am reminded of a phrase that the late Oral Roberts was known for saying! ( I grew up watching him with my parents back in the 70's and 80's...on TV)
Dr. Roberts was know to say:
"A miracle is either coming your way or going past you all the time. Reach out and take it! Do not let it pass by."
So, my friend, I challenge you to look to Jesus, not our economy. Fix your eyes on Him....Invest, be thankful and go forward, never looking back.
God's provision for your vision may be coming to you in a market idea, an opportunity online, an invitation to speak or sing, or through a previously unknown association.
Watch for ways God may choose to bring a win win situation to you in 2010, in due time.
And get ready for proven ministry marketing strategies to give you a market plan to win!
