Personal Christian Development

Throughout the years of my Christian Journey God has revealed my strengths as well as weaknesses that the Holy Spirit has guided in, which have been utilized in both ministry as well as societal capacities. One of my God given strengths is organization in order to bring resolution. It seems that, mind you through time and still growing, there can be a task placed directly in front of me that may seem to be very difficult to organize. However, the fact that I am a Melancholy by creation and a task oriented person, I can look at objective and devise a plan that is effective and efficient. God simply amazes me and I have to take a moment, many times to just say how, but mostly thank you Lord. God gives vision and the strategy to complete. The Holy Spirit will not allow me to rest until a solution to execute the plan, with adjustable parameters in order to meet the demand/s of the assignment, is at hand. God has given me the vision to see the plan orchestrated in multiple ways so that no matter what happens we can always adjust for effectiveness and get it done.

It seems as though, God shows me the problem, but is already because of prayer, guiding me into the solution. Now I understand that working out a situation is not always a one man’s work. Although God shows me solution, that is adjustable, many times, it takes a willing team to bring forth a great vision and/or resolution. I LOVE TEAMWORK!!! I was raised in a large family, and we would always have family gatherings and work together. So, my mindset is always, even in organizational resolution, team work.

I can admit, I have to make sure that I submit to the Holy Spirit for guidance in this capacity, because sometimes being so task oriented and striving to be very organized can cause me to become very compulsive. I truly have to constantly seek God and depend upon His Spirit to keep me balanced. Thanks be to God when submitting to Him, He directs us through the process. It is like within me, the Spirit of God is saying, we can’t waste time, let’s get this task done and I will direct you through the process because souls, lives, and people are at stake.

So, in other words, making ready a people prepared for the Lord, is resolution, but takes organization.
