CHANGE THE WORLD AND GOD ADDS A ZERO (0) TO YOUR WORK
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. - 1 Peter 4:10
“Escape velocity” is a term I consider quite a bit when launching a vision. This is the velocity necessary to break free from gravitational attraction for a rocket moving into space. It is calculated by the equation Ug (the universal gravitational constant) − Gm1m2/r (mass of the planet, star, or other body) , and commonly described as the speed needed to "break free."
The Bible says that God gives us the desires of our hearts (Ps. 37:4). If you’re breathing, God still has a big plan for you and He’s likely given you something important that you desire to do. However, feeling like you want to succeed or even knowing there are big opportunities out there to grasp is a whole lot different than actually pulling it off. You may have the vision, but be unable to “break free” from the gravitational forces that hold you back from accomplishing your vision.
The Bible is really crystal clear on just how far you can go on your own to truly fulfilling your destiny. Hint – without God, you’ll never fully get there or break free from the world’s destructive forces. Yet, this is not bad news. In fact, Paul encourages us in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 that he actually boasts about his weaknesses so that the power of Christ in him can provide the escape velocity he needs to break through and achieve God’s purposes.
In order to take your work from desire to a thriving reality in the shortest period of time—to escape from the earth’s atmospheric pressures that stop our purpose from going into orbit; you need God. (Bye-bye, end of story, see you later)
God adds a 0. You can only achieve 10 on your own, but God allows for 100. If you can do 1000, God makes it the 10,000 you were called to do. People add to a life or a business. They can go from 100 to 200 to 300 by adding 100 at a time. On the other hand, God multiplies. In fact, it is really an infinite amount of 0s. You do 100 and God can make that billions.
How do you align yourself with God? It’s simple – change the world. He’s always interested in helping someone do that.
If your work glorifies God, lifts-up Christ, serves others, and saves lives; God is all in. A God-glorifying mission is more powerful than work or a hobby and more impactful; it’s your BIG part of a BIG God who has called you to do BIGGER things. What I have experienced personally and through coaching, counseling, mentoring, and consulting is that the impact you can make in work gets multiplied when that work becomes a mission to change the world. You can go from 100 to 10,000 to 1,000,000 if instead of adding 100 you multiply by 100. See that difference?
Where addition gets you to 300, multiplication gets you to a million. Just do the math—learn the value of a mission-based business and live by the power of God’s multiplication rather than people’s addition.
MISSION ADDS A ZERO: I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. - Isaiah 45:2
Sound overwhelming? Come train with us in Michigan this summer, escape, and break-free.
