How can I pursue my goals? - Goals - TouchPoints

Matthew 28:19-20Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Acts 1:8But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

No matter what you do, Jesus’ ultimate goal for all his followers is making disciples of all people, everywhere. In our work toward this goal, he promises us the Holy Spirit’s help.

Romans 15:20-21My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, “Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand.”

Don’t ever quit pursuing thegoals God has given you. You will achieve far more than you thought possible. Paul was an older man when he wrote this, but was still driven by this basic goal that would eventually carry him as far as Spain.

Philippians 3:13-14I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven

1 Corinthians 9:26I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches.

Keep your eyes on the target and resist the temptation to get side-tracked. Stay focused on your primary goals in order to be most effective and make the most significant progress and impact.

1 Corinthians 14:1Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy.

Don’t walk over others to achieve any goal. Loving others should always be a higher goal.

James 4:4If your aim is to enjoy this world, you can’t be a friend of God.

2 Corinthians 5:9So our aim is to please him always.

Whatever you do, your goals should be pleasing to God.
