In 1987 I took a close look at my congregation and drew a conclusion: the Anaheim Vineyard was deficient in many ways. We had worldwide visibility, but we were hurting in many respects. We had lagged in our Bible teaching, in ministry to the lost and poor, in prayers, and in financial giving— especially tithing. These were but four of eight areas in which we needed to grow.
What was the problem? It turned out to be me! I simply had not done my job with the people. I had been so busy working for spiritual renewal in other countries that I hadn't provided the leadership needed at home. |

Our focus is being changed. We are fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Like the church of Laodicea (Rev 3:18), we are receiving His eye salve so that we can see as He sees.

Consider Paul's timely message to Timothy,
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

Recently, yet again, I have realised how easily we as Christian leaders, so easily forget God's goodness to us. I know, for one, that I have been mightily blessed with increasing depths of insight and anointing in the realms of prayer and worship, and, as a result, I know that there is nothing outside of God's will and goodness that I need.
