You should write out long and short-term goals that keep the vision God has for mankind as the foundation for your work / service, entrepreneurial endeavors, desired fruitfulness and prosperity. He does not want anyone to be damned eternally or suffer needlessly in this life, so He offered His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, as the sacrifice to eliminate our sin, upon choosing Him as Savior and LORD. Thus on Judgment Day, He will not look upon our filthy rags righteousness, rather He will consider Jesus’ pure and unadulterated righteousness as ours and accept believers into His heavenly home.
As disciples, our priority mission is to tell the world about Jesus and teach them how to be more like Him. God designed the plan of salvation such that the vast majority of people will not hear about the only path to life eternal, which is in Christ, unless we tell them. God is determined to let you join Him in publishing the word of salvation and sanctification to everyone in the world.
He gave different skill sets to people and planned that our occupations and levels of authority would be different so together believers can reach all people, cultures, ethnic groups, nationalities, and languages. He’s okay with the different venues you work and serve in as long as you’re not employed in immoral professions. Besides, the closer you draw to Him the more you’ll be led to the occupation and position He desires to use you for in the priority mission.
Most people’s occupations are not directly connected to church ministry, but an abundant portion of their pay should be given to fund gospel ministry and they should look for opportunities to communicate the gospel and be an example of Christ-likeness to those they work around. This won’t happen unless by His vision, contained in scripture, you set goals to pursue and achieve it. Without a few written goals that combine your work / service with the Great Commission, you won’t be the good steward God wants because the happenings of life (trials, tribulations, pleasure, and leisure) will cause you to lose focus on God’s will and the activities and endeavors scripture show you need to engage to truly bless and prosper your life.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
