Posted by Dominique Beaumonte on

There are the show notes from Episode #86 of the Seasoned with Salt Podcast!

Pastor Dominique Beaumonte | BE CAREFUL WITH YOU | John 2:23–25 – Seasoned with Salt

BE CAREFUL WITH YOU | John 2:23–25We often think about stewardship in terms of money, gifts, and resources—but what if one of the most important things God has given you to steward is you?Your time. Your energy. Your attention. Your emotional capacity. Your presence. And even the access other people have to you.In John 2:23–25, many people believed in Jesus because they saw the miracles He performed, yet Scripture says that Jesus “did not commit himself unto them…because he knew all men.” Jesus loved people, served people, and ultimately gave His life for people—but He was also discerning about access.In this message, “Be Careful With You,” Pastor Beau explores the biblical and emotional importance of healthy boundaries through three simple movements:Know Your AudienceKnow YourselfKnow Your AssignmentBoundaries aren't necessarily about shutting people out. Sometimes boundaries are simply good stewardship. You don't have to overcommit, overperform, overexplain, overshare, or show up everywhere just to prove that you love people.

You do not know what you need to get where you’re going

Are you looking for success or notoriety? Are you wrestling with ways to become more ambitious in your life, profession, and ministry? In this episode, I discuss the dangers of being opportunistic and encourage listeners to trust God for their success.

Release yourself from needing validation or being positioned. You’re going to get some things because of who you are NOT attached to.

Let me say that in another way: You’re going to get some things because of who you serve, not who you follow. When I ask God to lead me, I’m surrendering my own plan to his plan.

Opportunists

  • Managed by their emotion
  • Responsive a false sense of success
  • Mistake ambition to be competition 
  • In competition with people who aren’t in competition with them
  • Pursue the wrong capital
  • See the criticism of others as hating.
  • See people as disposable 
  • Run through friends and confident a because they’re untrustworthy 

SO WE NEED TO DETACH OURSELVES FROM WESTERN FRAMEWORKS, Eurocentric frameworks that teach us to rely on systems and power structures for advancement.

The believer’s strategy for success.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your plans will be established.

Let God be the binding factor in your construction.

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Don’t take God’s credit.
