Multiply the Mission: Scaling Your Business for Kingdom ImpactНамуна

Dictating Your Success

Proverbs 16:3 (NIV): “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

As kingdom business leaders, we often find ourselves juggling numerous responsibilities, meetings, and tasks. The balance between managing our daily work and staying true to our spiritual calling can sometimes feel overwhelming. Yet, there is a powerful truth we can hold onto: “You have the ability to predict your success by dictating with extreme authority what goes on your calendar.”

In Proverbs 16:3, we are reminded of the importance of committing our plans to the Lord. This involves not only entrusting our big-picture dreams and goals to Him but also the minute details of our daily schedules. By involving God in the planning process, we align our work with His purpose, allowing Him to establish our steps and guide us towards true success.

Consider your calendar not just as a tool for managing time but as a representation of your priorities. Are your appointments and tasks reflective of your values and the mission God has placed on your heart? By intentionally and prayerfully deciding what occupies your time, you exercise the authority given by God to shape your journey towards success.

Begin each day with prayer, asking for wisdom in planning and discerning what is truly important. Embrace the authority to say no to distractions and yes to what advances God’s kingdom through your work. Let your schedule reflect the integration of faith and leadership, ensuring that every moment is purposeful and God-honoring.

Reflection Questions:

1. How can you ensure your calendar aligns with your God-given mission and priorities?

2. What are some practical ways to involve God in your daily and weekly planning?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for entrusting me with the authority to steward my time and resources. Help me to commit my plans to You and to seek Your wisdom in determining my daily schedule. May my calendar reflect Your purposes and priorities, leading me to true and lasting success in Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
