Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 4 Reflections (pt 2)


Good evening all

Hope you had a splendid day today. 

Today I continue with my reflections from the Slay Doubt challenge based on Slay Doubt book by Detola Amure. 

Your calling feeds into God's agenda... 
Your calling fits into a bigger picture… 
Your calling is bigger than you… 
Your calling is not about you… 
Your calling is about what God wants to achieve on this earth…
Your calling is about declaring God's greatness on the earth…

It made me realise that in my quest to fulfil the assignment, I'd made it all about me. My calling, my talent, my purpose, my time, me, me, me. Whilst I am the vessel, the assignment fits into a purpose that is much higher than me. God's plan.

I am a vessel God has chosen to use to fit into His plan, the plan to make His Name known on the earth, to bring people into His kingdom, bringing glory to Him. It is a privilege to be part of His plan and the minute I think it is about me, an easy to do, is when the assignment becomes burdensome and tedious.

This chapter was like a wake-up call for me. It was a reminder of the capacity and ability God has placed inside me to handle the challenges that will inevitably come on the journey to fulfilling my unique assignment.

It was a wonderful reminder that because the calling is God's; I need not rely on my natural strength alone, but on His supernatural strength, provided by His Holy Spirit.

My action plan is to spend more time with the Holy Spirit by praying consistently and meditating on His word (the Bible) daily.

That's it for today.

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.
