I have posted very rarely over the past few months. One of the reasons for this is that I have felt the need to process what God is saying to me before I can really develop some answers to my previous posts. Below is an overview of where God led me as I thought and prayed through the questions...Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Purpose
My purpose is to glorify God through my thoughts, words and actions, to maintain and develop a deep personal relationship with Him and share His love with the world.
Values
Identity: spending quality time with God
Integrity: maintaining God’s standards in life and leadership
Growth: continual learning and developing
Leadership: being an effective steward in ministry
Discipleship: nurturing others
Fellowship: sharing life with others
Encouragement: empowering others
Appreciation: showing gratitude towards others
Awareness: being aware of the needs in my immediate surroundings and the wider world
Advocacy: supporting and standing up for the broken, the needy, the hurting
Action: more than just thought and reflection, being someone of action, making vision a reality and meeting needs head on
Vision
As I continue my walk with Christ I dedicate myself to the following six principles:
In my life I will honoUr His authority
(by nurturing a deep relationship with Him)
In my service I will glorify His name
(by working selflessly and sacrificially to lead others to Him)
In my witness I will declare His grace
(by outwardly expressing my faith to the world)
In my leadership I will fulfil His mission
(by steering people towards His purpose)
In my relationships I will reflect His love
(by generating opportunities for fellowship, accountability and discipleship)
In my community & world I will be someone of action
(by turning vision to reality, plans into programs and by meeting the needs that God places on my heart
