Ministry Marketing Book: Work Your Vineyard


Provision For Your Vision? Plant A Vineyard!


You may be in a position where you are really looking for provision for your vision. You have a message that you know God has implanted in your heart and you are ready to step up to the plate to deliver it.


You have a message, and to keep that message going forward you need money.



But...you experience the same thing: No phone rings asking you to speak, your bank account remains the same (empty), you seem stuck in the same place, or you have stacks of books, cd, and/or products stacked in your garage waiting to be sold.



What do you do for provision for your vision?






Plant A Vinyard--Tend Your Flock





 




Plant a vineyard.


"Say what?"



What I have to share is a simple plan you can put into action today.



It's based on 1 Corinthians 9 where God has been speaking volumes to me lately. The more I camp out on that Chapter the more God speaks to me about helping others harness the power of the internet for profits.That's one of my passions. I desire to see you FREE spiritually, physically, and financially to go in the direction of your God given destiny.



So back to 1 Corinthians Chapter 9. Check out verse 7:



"Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?"



Look at those key words…"goes to war", "plants", "tends".



They involve you (and me) going forward in action. They involve work.



This is what God spoke to me.



He gives us the plan, the vision, the desire that is behind our destiny.




No matter what it is, if it involves you impacting others for Christ, you can count that as being at war! Our adversary the devil would like nothing more than to keep you bound by depression, lack, and procrastination.


But we overcome him by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony....



It says in 2 Corinthians 10:2-3: "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds..."



He is a squirm bug meant to be under our feet. Don't believe his lies that you will never see real provision for your vision!



So I encourage you to rise up and stick it hard to this slimy opponent!



How?



Make your dream, your vision…make it your vineyard, or your flock.



And work it!





When it comes to the internet, you will have to rise up and learn some new skills or invest in Kingdom training. Use your time and free tools available to learn, to write, to move forward.



Are you waiting for someone to ask you to preach at church?



Start your own video ministry and start preaching into your web cam, on Blog Talk Radio, or at Ustream.



You'd love to write a book?



Make an outline. Write the book. Start writing on a blog….Transcribe your videos…



I think you are getting the ideas here.



Finding a plan for provision for your vision is as simple as you moving forward with the wisdom, anointing, and skills God has given you!



You plant, you tend…..and watch how God can provide the resources.



The glue to hold this vineyard together is found in John Chapter 15. Jesus says He is the vine we are the branches.



"“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;[a] and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit."



Cling to the vine, Jesus. Trust Him for the wisdom, the time, and the favor.



Start today.



Why wait for the resources when you have something already in your hand, or in your house. (1 Kings 4:1-7



You have gifts and anointing. You have skills and abilities. You have wisdom and revelation.



Begin sharing now. Make it your vineyard. Plant…go to work….and watch God provide for you to continue to have provision for the vision
