Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 3 Reflections

Slay Doubt by Detola Amure

Every child of God has been called to influence a sphere of society, to bring transformation through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Your assignment, the problem that you are called to solve, may fall into one or more of these mountains of influence or spheres of society.

It is not about the number of people you are called to, but about recognising your calling and your area of influence.

This chapter was straight to the point for me.

It reminded me about the need to identify and understand the spheres of society I've been called to serve. You may know them as the 7 mountains of influence. They are:

Business
Arts & Entertainment
Education
Government
Media
Religion
Families.

This chapter was a reminder to re-examine what I believe to be my spheres of society and begin taking steps to influence them for the kingdom of God.

If you want to read more about these areas of influence alongside Detola's book, I recommend The 7 Mountains of Influence by Bronwyn O'Brien. It goes into a lot more depth about the mountains of influence.

Book Recommendation: Today Matters by John C. Maxwell

Hello Hope you're well. I wanted to quickly share with you a book I've been reading over the past couple of months. It is called Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. In Today Matters , Maxwell advises that "the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. Successful people make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily." He identifies 12 areas of life in which he believes the right decisions should be made. Once made, these decisions should be practised on a daily basis. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 - Today's Thinking Gives Me An Advantage. John outlines various types of thinking including intentional thinking, big-picture thinking, creative thinking, etc. He explains the benefit of finding a time and space to practise the habit of good thinking daily. For me, my focus right now is intentional and creative thinking. You can purchase your copy of Today Matters...

Reflections from “As a man thinketh” by James Allen

Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash "Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained b watchfulness. Many give way when success is assure, and rapidly fall back into failure. All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, are governed by the same law and are of the same method; the only difference lies in the object of attainment." Awareness - I must always be alert and watchful over my thoughts, there can be no slacking in this area. Made me think of all the scriptures that admonish to be alert, watchful and of a sober mind. Change / Take Action - I will continue to watch my thoughts so I don't loose ground or slip back into what i've conquered.
