Then He brought [Abram] outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be." Genesis 15:5
Have you ever been dissatisfied about not knowing exactly where you fit. Most people who are dissatisfied and discouraged feel that way because they haven't grasped a vision for themselves. As a Christian leader, you can help others discover their dreams and then get them moving. You can help them get into the game.You may already recognize much of the potential of your kids or some people around you, but you need to know more about them and what makes them tick or what ticks them off. To help those around you recognize the destination they will be striving for or what God might have in store for them, you need to know what really matters to them. To do that, find out these things:
1. What do they cry about? To know where people truly want to go, you've got to know what touches their hearts. Even our kids have a heart for something and you can help develop that heart.
2. What do they sing about? In the long run, people around you need to focus a lot of energy on what gives them joy. Where are they gifted.
3. What do they dream about? If you can help the people around you discover their dreams and you show you truly believe in them, you can help them become who God designed them to be. This is really true with our kids.
We need to become people of influence if we are going to pull others off the sidelines and into the game God has set before us. That is our testimony to the world. Our kids need us to be a Godly influencer for the Gospel's sake. You can make a difference where God has placed you and with those He has put around you. The question is will you be used by God today?
Who will see your radical faith today?
