Passage: Acts 1:1-3
Success Mentality 8
True success is fulfilling God’s will and destiny for your life!
In Part 7 we learned that…
Productivity is God’s desire for our lives (Gen. John 15)
Productivity is the foundation of all true prosperity and success.
So how can we become productive?
We can learn about productivity from Jesus!
No one ever produced more that He did.
Acts 1:1-3
Four Principles of Productivity
Purpose must be discovered.
Even Jesus had to “discover” his divine purpose.
Many life problems are rooted in not having a clear purpose in life. (Addiction, loneliness, poverty)
(The key to failure is to live an aimless life, with no vision, no dream, no purpose)
Purpose ignites Passion.
The lack of passion in life reveals the lack of discovered purpose.
Passion inspires Performance.
Isaiah 9:7 “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this”.
Performance creates Productivity.
Jesus
