Three Strategies

to help you get or sharpen your focus

on “which people, what needs” Jesus is calling you to deliver for.

October 3, 2004

Start where you are.

· Are there things you are doing, that if you did them differently, would be more likely to connect people to Jesus?

· In the things that you already do, can you think of any way that you could bless people, or bless them more outrageously? 

· In the things you do that already bless and serve others, what could you do to make sure that they know it’s God’s love that they are getting from you?  Do they know for sure that it’s not just a reflection of how nice and kind and generous you are?

Look around.

· Are there people “within arm’s reach” that God may call you to focus on? 

· Is there something for you to do that’s more important than one of the things you’re currently doing?  That could be God’s call to you. 

· Is there an incredible opportunity there to connect people to Jesus?

Check your inventory.
