2020 Vision: Devotional Guide Week 1

Monday:

Reading: John 20: 19-21 and Matthew 28: 19-20


Reflecting:

What did Jesus mean when he said, “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you”? What is he sending you out to do?


How would you define success when it comes to the Great Commission?


There are two things you can do right now that you will not do in heaven: sin and tell lost people about Jesus. Which of these two do you think God has left you on earth to do? How are you engaged in it right now?


Wednesday:

Reading: Zephaniah 3:17 and Matthew 16:13-18


Reflecting:

Walk through in your mind when God “mightily” saved you?


Is the Great Commission still God’s plan today?


Are you following God’s plan?


Friday:

Reading: II Corinthians 12:9 and Acts 4:13


Reflecting:

How does God equip and sustain you in your mission?


How is God’s power displayed in our weakness?


What is it that convinces people of God’s power according to Acts 4:13?


How Do You Know If Your Vision Is From God?

By Perry Noble


  • If you feel confident that you can accomplish what is in front of you with no problem at all… then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If no one is angry at you… then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you don’t have to ask anyone to sacrifice to make the vision come true… then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you have the money in the bank to do what God has asked your church to do… then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If every step is perfectly designed and nothing happens to totally throw you off along the way…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If someone doesn’t try to talk you out of what you are about to attempt… then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you don’t stay up at night thinking about the vision…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If your vision is in contradiction to God’s Word…then you didn’t hear from God.
  • If you know all of the answers… then you didn’t hear from God.
