THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE PAUL WAS PROACTIVE IN HIS PRIORITES Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!  Phil. 4:4

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE PAUL WAS PROACTIVE IN HIS PRIORITES And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:7

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE PAUL WAS PROACTIVE IN HIS PRIORITES Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.  Phil. 4:11

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE I. GET ON A GROWTH PLAN You must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:17

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work. 2 Tim. 3:15-17

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE II. GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Eph. 5:33

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.  Eph. 5:31-32

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE III. GET INVOLVED IN MINISTRY (2 Pet. 2:9) But you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE WE HAVE THIS MINISTRY! Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart 2 Cor.4:1

THE POWER OF BEING PROACTIVE Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:20
