Don't Dream For God
You cannot dream big enough for God. So Hear & Follow Jesus so he will show you what only he can see.
Seek God for what only he can see.
Elizabeth and Zechariah and Mary did not dream big dreams for God.
I’ve heard this phrase. I believe they are well meaning people and leaders. But we need to stop dreaming big dreams for God.
As if I could ever dream big enough for God.
And if I do. And if I accomplish the big dream.
I become the hero of the story.
And that’s a problem. Especially in ministry.
Instead, seek the One who can see things for your life, family, church and community only he can see.
Let God scare you.
Despair and unbelief in ministry most of the time shows up in the status quo. We continue to do what we always do to make as many Christians happy as possible.
The status quo leads to a slow, comfortable death.
Hear & Follow Jesus. Let him show you things only he can see.
Then walk towards what only God can see one step at a time. When you take each step, some will take the step with you. Some will compete against you to go the other way.
When you’re competed against, Hear & Follow Jesus with those who are willing to take the next step with you.
