Stocktake - where are you at?

• 3 steps - catch the vision / keep the vision / obey the vision
• 4 tools - caravan / telescope of vision / skouer aan die wiel / world prayer life
• it's not only about you, your calling and what you can or cannot do
• some practical advice on how to get your life in order before you attempt to reach for anything
• we are not going to stop saying it: sender / coordinator / goer

We heard of a couple of local churches that stopped running the Perspectives course because too many people responded and the leadership didn't know what to do with all the people who caught the vision......

Money - does it or does it not matter?

WHAT FOR / FOR WHAT??  That is the question that we always need to ask ourselves.  Is what we’re doing an end in itself, or just a means to an end, and if so, which end?  If we do community, is it just for the sake of community, or is it for something else?  If we give, is it just to give because as long as we give we’re ok, or is it for something greater?  And if it is for something greater…is it really for Kingdom?

 When it comes to money and Christianity, most of us have been conditioned to think that as long as we give, we’re ok, we’ve done our share – what they do with the money, is their baby.  But then how do you know if your money will really produce a reward for you for eternity, on the day that you stand before the Lord?  You have no guarantees – the best that you can do, is to hope that it does.  Also we never just would have given our money away blindly, and neither should we with God’s.  We need to ensure that it is invested correctly, we need to go with our money - God demands a return.  The servant who buried his talent out of fear for his master, lost even what he had – that talent was given to the servant who showed a return.  So go where there’s a return for God’s Kingdom.  But anywhere in the bucket-line is fine, as long as the water goes to the fire (Kingdom) – be it at the back (modality), or at the front (sodality).

Of course start-ups need a bit of venture capital too, but that requires intense partnering and major major research – a topic for the more mature investor.  Someone who won’t give petrol to somebody going in the wrong direction, but who can take him to the nearest fuel-station and can explain to him on the map, where to go to.

 

And what about the goers – they hold in their hands an investment-opportunity, an opportunity for you to become part of and buy shares in a Kingdom investment.  But then that is also what they must offer, and not just a need.

And above all, the currency in the Kingdom is serving.  Money too must become a servant of serving.

Kingdom Investment  VS  meeting a need

So how much of your resources go in tact and through you to Skin contact 1?

How much return on how much seed - r u sure?

Money is not the blessing, you are

Go with your resources / ask the right questions to determine what is fertile ground Kingdom Investment

Plugging a debt is not an investment

In providing for His Kingdom, you are taken care of
