The Next Right Thing

“God positions and responds based on the quality of our decisions, not their outcomes – one right decision at a time.” – Pastor Kenneth Bryant

.

God is the Original Conservationist

God wastes nothing and repurposes everything!

God conserves and repurposes our faithful decisions.

God responds to and positions us based on the quality of our decisions.
Quality decisions are made based on common sense, Godly wisdom, and God’s providence working together.

A quality decision is defined as one made through a thorough, systematic process that considers all relevant information, alternatives, and values, regardless of the final outcome.

Three Ways to Discern “The Next Right Thing”

.

DECISIONS THAT POSITION US (VS. 6)

The Bethlehem crisis was that it didn’t have any bread. The house of bread was empty.  Some people decided to stay where they were starving!  DON’T STAY WHERE YOU ARE STARVING!

God is NOT always in the staying! Listen to the Holy Spirit so you will know IF IT’S TIME TO LEAVE!

Quality decisions require discernment about timing.  When we make discerning decisions about when to leave what’s not working, God positions us for His next move.

 

 DECISIONS THAT PREPARE US (VS.16)

DEVOTED in Our Loyalties
Evaluate your loyalties – Attach yourself to the people that can declare “God connected us…”

Quality decisions about loyalty reveal our true character and calling. When we make devoted decisions about our commitments, God prepares us for greater purpose.

“You are being challenged in this season about your loyalties because God wants to prepare you for more.” – Pastor Kenneth Bryant

.

DECISIONS THAT PROPEL US (VS.22)

DIRECTIONAL in Following God Backwards

Follow God Backwards: Even if He is calling you to go back to somewhere you have been before.

Many times, God will take you back to move you forward.

God takes us back to familiar places but with new purpose, new preparation, and new people.

When we make directional decisions to trust God’s unconventional paths, God propels us toward His ultimate purpose.

“You are not going back the same way!” – Pastor Kenneth Bryant

The Flow of “Next Right Thing” Decision-Making:
DISCERN your next right step – God POSITIONS you
DEVOTE yourself to the next right loyalty – God PREPARES you
DIRECT yourself on the next right path – God PROPELS you
