Good success is being who God calls you to be and doing what He calls you to do. This is impossible without a God-given vision. We should let God establish our identity and purpose.
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.
When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete”
Some people enjoy success, but it’s not good success.
Here are three requirements to receiving and operating in a God-given vision:
HAVING A COMMITTED PRAYER LIFE (Mark 1:35-38)
In order to have a committed prayer life, you have to carve out time when you can be with God. Just you and God alone. God is not obligated to resource what He didn’t tell you to do. When you are prioritizing a committed prayer life, getting the mind of God for your business/life dream/ministry, you’re demonstrating submission to Jesus Christ over your business/life dream/ministry. If we do not have a committed prayer life, we will end up with a vision that is not God-given.
AVOIDING COMPARISONS (2 Corinthians 10:12)
You have to avoid comparing yourself to other people. God did not create you to be a clone. If you’re successful at being like someone else and doing what someone else does, you will be unsuccessful in God’s eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUAL JURISDICTION
Spiritual jurisdiction is just like natural jurisdiction. Don’t stretch yourself outside of what God has called you to do. Understanding spiritual jurisdiction involves knowing what you’re not called to do. Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should.
