I know, you’re used to it. You’ve been a servant for a really long time. That should change!
God wants you to be a partner in His work here on Earth. He has so many missions, so many duties, so many plans...and He wants you to be a vested partner in these goals. Have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if you stopped asking, and started discussing? Would you like to be at the table, instead of on the floor?
Let’s look at this situation in two ways. When you are a servant, you have no options. You receive commands, and you carry them out. No feedback, no discussion. There is no freedom! You have to ask for anything in order for it to be done. Not so much fun in my opinion!
Now you’re a business partner. Strategy decisions come into play. You begin to give your opinion on things. You get more say than you had as a servant. You are now part of the overall direction of the organization. Let us think about this for a minute. You actually decide your own fate. There are other partners, and some of them might have more equity than you, but you are one of the owners. People listen to what you have to say. You no longer have to wonder about where you stand!
I am a huge fan of actually being an equitable partner in what God is doing on this planet. I love being a part of decisions. I love changing the fabric of this reality when it makes sense. I love seeing the stuff I see and observing much more than I did as a servant. Obviously this role was given to me through God’s grace, but part of it was earned. He would not have bestowed this kind of gift without lots of hard work and diligence. For me it took almost thirty years. Sound familiar?
Take a big inventory of the way you work with God. Ask Him what you need to do to play a bigger role in the missions here. Tell Him you are willing to go the extra mile. And then watch the miracles roll through your life and the lives of the people you touch. This type of work is wonderful, it is a blessing, and I truly love having the kind of talent, power, and communication that comes with this kind of life.
