characteristics of a Christ-like person. Decide what these individuals need to understand and how they will need to behave in order to impact others. Second we need to implement an assembly line. Once Chrysler has a clear understanding of what the finished product should look like it then puts together an elaborate assembly process to lead to the desired result. Point of action Now that weve defined the characteristics of Christ-like people we must learn to teach them systematically. Develop a process for instruction and ensure that each level is being supervised and guided by a staff member or team. Third we need to find an accurate means of measuring our effectiveness. Like Chrysler when all is said and done we must be able to answer the all-important question Is our product doing what it has been designed to do Point of action We must be creative in devel- oping strategies that allow us to stay more con- nected to our product and we must take seriously the spiritual health and vitality of each person under our care. As co-workers in Christ dedicated to the fulfillment of His business lets reevaluate our process so that we might have a better chance of impacting our world with godly and effective followers of Christ. Lets begin to practice intentional Christianity ITS TIME TO UP OUR GAME S o whats the take-away here It is simply this All of us who consider ourselves Christians have to up our game. We need to get serious about our relationship with God if we ever expect His life and power to flow through us and make a difference. For those of us in leadership we must have the courage to face the facts look at what we have been doing and make the necessary adjustments in order to produce what God is looking for. This is not a time for self-abasementit is a time for seeking Him for supernatural wisdom and discernment. Our focus and subsequent battle must be cen- tered on what God is calling us to do. We must remember that He is still on the throne and in the end we have nothing to fear. If we fail to understand these things and continue in the direction we are going wellsomeone once said that if you keep on doing what youre doing you will end up with more of what you got. I dont know about you but I dont think we can afford more of what weve got. WWW.AGRM.ORGMARCHAPRIL 2016 29 Our focus and subsequent battle must be centered on what God is calling us to do.
