Preparation Model
More from Reggie McNeal (this book is easily becoming one of my favorites)...
"God uses a preparation model for developing leaders, not a planning model. Leaders who give their best efforts to their current assignments from God are prepared for their next level of influence... Leaders of great legacy look back over their lives and see that in every ministry assignment, God was preparing them for the next. Trusting God with their destiny, they wound up with influence they never could have pulled off on their own" (p. 45)
So, here's a few really important questions... Are YOU giving YOUR best efforts to the situation that God has put you in RIGHT NOW?! Are you actively exercising and developing your giftings? Are you taking any risks? When given small assignments that SEEM INSIGNIFICANT, do you complain or do you FAITHFULLY COMPLETE the assignment, doing it as unto God Himself?
