1. Hebrews 6:1 NKJV Therefore, leaving the
discussion of the elementary principles of
Christ, let us go on to perfection , not
laying again the foundation of repentance
from dead works and of faith toward God,
2
of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of
hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.

And this we will do if God permits.

What’s up for me this
2014

3. For it is impossible for those who were
once enlightened, and have tasted the
heavenly gift, and have become partakers
of the Holy Spirit,
5
and have tasted the good word of God
and the powers of the age to come,
6
if they fall away, to renew them again to
repentance, since they crucify again for
themselves the Son of God, and put Him to
an open shame.

hard to explain, since you have become
dull of hearing
12
For though by this time you ought to be
teachers, you need someone to teach you
again the first principles of the oracles of
God; and you have come to need milk and
not solid food.

For everyone who partakes only of milk is
unskilled in the word of righteousness, for
he is a babe.

How Will I Know
What God has in store for me
this 2014?

9. 1. Start Your Day With JESUS
Psalm 92:1 How good it is to give thanks to
you, O LORD, to sing in your honor, O Most
High God,
Psalm 92:2 to proclaim your constant love
every morning and your faithfulness every
night,
Psalm 92:3 with the music of stringed
instruments and with melody on the harp.

10. 2. Leave Your Worries to God- HE Cares
1Peter 5:6 Humble
yourselves, then, under
God's mighty hand, so that
he will lift you up in his own
good time.
1Peter 5:7 Leave all your
worries with him, because
he cares for you.

11. 3. Experience the Presence of God Daily
Psalm 97:5 The hills melted
like wax at the presence of the
LORD, at the presence of the
Lord of the whole earth.
Jeremiah 20:11 But the LORD
is with me. He is like a strong
soldier. So those who are
chasing me will fall. They will not
defeat me. They will fail. They will
be disappointed.

12. 4. Find Your
place In Ministry
…to prepare God’s people for
works of service, so that the body
of Christ may be built up.
Ephesians 4:12
For we are God’s
workmanship,created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which
God prepared in advance for us
to do.
Ephesians 2:10

13. Connect Your Passion Into
Your Ministry

14. PASSION DEFINITION
“A strong or extravagant fondness,
enthusiasm or desire for anything.”
“A burning desire for something that causes
your emotions to rise where you desire it
more than anything.”
“Where you would give your time to serve
people or tasks if money or the opinion of
others were not factors.”
“Something that energizes you to the point
that simply doing it is your reward.”

15. Where Passion
Originates
It is from the HEART
that our passion is
derived.
Proverbs 27:19 “As water
reflects a face, so a man’s heart
reflects a man.”
Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else
guard your HEART for it is the
wellspring of life.”

16. Matthew 16:26 (The Message)
Follow me and I’ll show you how.
Self-help is no help at all. Selfsacrifice is the way, my way, to
finding yourself, your true self.

17. Your Ministry has been Planned by
God
“ Before I formed you in the womb I knew
you, before you were born I set you apart.”
So that you will experience the
Jeremiah 1:5
JOY of living your New life!
“.. I have come that they might have life
and have it to the full.”
John 10:10

18. 5. Serve with Love Interdependently
Ephesians 4:13 And so we shall all come together
to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of
the Son of God; we shall become mature people,
reaching to the very height of Christ's full stature.
4:14 Then we shall no longer be children, carried
by the waves and blown about by every shifting wind
of the teaching of deceitful people, who lead others
into error by the tricks they invent.
4:15 Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of
love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is
the head.

19. Genesis 12:2 And I will make
of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a
blessing:

20. Happy 2014
to All
God’s Beloved!!!
