Success is one of those odd church topics. Some feel that it's an ugly word that reeks of the flesh. Others feel it's our right as God's children.
The Bible has a lot to say about success and one of the most quoted passages is Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed."
The strange thing that I've noticed among a lot of youth workers is that they have NO plans. They have a schedule of events, but no plan.
What are your plans that you are going to commit to the Lord?
We're not saying don't leave room for the Spirit to move, but God can work among plans as well. Chances are greater than good that no plans lead to no successes ~ or accidental success at best.
Make a plan. What are God's goals for your ministry? Who do you want to see come to Jesus in the next six months? How many teens will you contact this week? What time do you have purposely set aside for personal Bible study?
Make a plan. Commit it to the Lord. You'll have success.
