The first direction I must move in… is God ward.


I have to find His order and implement it in my life!

Chiefly, I must acknowledge Him in all my ways so that He can direct my paths…(Proverbs

3:6)“Click” to continue

Psalm 37:23 tells us that “the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord”.

Let’s look at Acts 1:8

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

First, we see the Holy Spirit gives me power!


Then I’m to reflect God in various places.

Also, we see four locations mentioned in an order:

1.

Jerusalem

2. Judea

3. Samaria4. Uttermost

So, I receive, and then reflect…

1. Jerusalem 2. Judea 3. Samaria

4. Uttermost

Now we’ll relate these geographical locations to the groups of people in our lives…

At first, I thought business would fit into family…Then I quickly realized that instead of trying to fit it in, the more appropriate thing to do is apply the template over business. I must devote all the work I do unto God first, then bless my family, etc., etc…
