10 Keys to Servanthood

Key Number 4: Servants carry the vision and give a good report

To carry the vision of your leader requires more then just following it. At some point the vision has to become apart of you to the point where it doesn’t matter what the external circumstances are, you will not put the vision down.

If you were to look at the 12 people Moses sent to spy out the Promised Land you can see that only two of them actually carried the vision, the others were just following the vision until it became too hard and then their vision turned to themselves and all they could see was what they imagined they looked like in their enemies eyes (Num 13:33). Talk about perspective!!

Instead of carrying the vision of the leader the spies began to carry the vision of the enemy.

“Oh, it’ll be too hard” or “that will never work”, “we never have enough help”, “I’m not too sure”, we don’t have enough resource”, “look, I’m just stating the obvious”, are all words that come from an inverted and small vision.

The vision of the enemy always begins with an unfaithful moan

If you look at anything through the eyes of the enemy then the vision that you are carrying (that has now become apart of you) is not Godly.

In fact, the bible calls that kind of vision evil (Num 14:27-29 KJV) and what you see is what you will get.

There is nothing more damaging to the momentum of a ministry then when people begin to drop the vision

To carry the vision means that, at least in part, you actually begin to “see” (direction, end result, etc) and the best way to get to that position is to simply invest and then spread a good report, “we can do it”, “he that is in you is greater then he that is in the world”, “nothing is impossible for God”, “we can push through this”.

“We will never give up, give in or let up, because we are standing on the immoveable, unshakable, indestructible ROCK that is JESUS CHRIST.”

Let’s “go all in” I say!
