Here's an excerpt from office hours. One of our CFE members asked a question: should pastors keep track of their numbers? I also answered a question about whether entrepreneurs should keep track of the numbers in their business as well.

The calling God has given you is unique and requires a unique blueprint, so we should not copy someone else's plan for success. When we copy, it is like putting a circle in a square hole – it just doesn't fit. Yes, we can learn from others, but we should not copy. If you want success, then seek God for the specific way He wants you to accomplish your calling.

This is an excerpt from Office Hours. One of our CFE members is talking to a local church pastor who has a really large congregation. This local church pastor was feeling the urge that God is asking him to do something different with this megachurch. She was asking me for my opinion on how a megachurch pastor can go against the trend of getting bigger and bigger for the sake of growth versus following what God has placed in their heart. Even though this is a question about a megachurch pastor, I want you to listen to my answer in regard to the things that God has called you to do. Maybe you have been at a particular thing for a season and it has grown to a certain point, but now God is asking you to do something different. Similar advice will apply in that situation.

God desires for us to implement the vision he has given us faithfully. Faithful means that we do it the way God wants us to do – not the way we think is best. Without being faithful to implement the vision God's way, we are, at best, frustrated with minimum success and slow progress and, at worst, God takes the vision from us.

I used to believe that if you follow the calling God gave you, things would be perfect all the time. However, that belief is so far from the truth that it is dangerous to our success. God doesn't promise us a perfect path, but victory in the end. It is important to receive this revelation so we don't quit our calling when things get hard.

As we go through life and pursue our callings, we will inevitably face challenging situations. You might experience illness, the loss of a close friend or family member, or even a financial crisis. These unexpected events can disrupt our path and make it difficult to stay focused on our purpose. Let's look to the scriptures and see how Jesus handled life's challenges, so we can learn from His example.

Your calling will be tried by fire, and you may be tempted to give up. In fact, that is the goal of the trials that you are facing. The trial is designed by Satan to tempt you to give up. However, in today's message, I want to encourage you to stay on your path in the face of temptation.
