Managing Projects for Ministry

d. We have great difficulty knowing precisely the path we ought to specifically take, 1 Cor. 8.1-3 – Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. [2] If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. [3] But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. e. But “our eyes are on him,” 2 Chron. 20.12 – O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.

2. Do not be intimidated by the constraints, but rather see them as the things God must provide for and overcome.

3. Separate your part in ministry management from God’s part in ministry fruitfulness.

4. Determine to become an expert at executing projects for God’s glory.

5. Begin right away (nothing succeeds like success).

Prayer and Affirmation to God:

Whatever the limits we may face, God’s power in us is sufficient for the task as we believe.

Heb. 11.1 – Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Heb. 11.6 – And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
