Don’t Carry 2024 Problems into 2025

One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is bringing old problems into new seasons. It’s time to release the past and embrace a fresh move of God in your life, ministry, and business. Victory isn’t automatic—it comes through intentional leadership and obedience to God’s direction.

The Power of Vision: Setting the Course for 2025

Without vision, people perish (Proverbs 29:18). If you don’t have a clear, God-given vision for 2025, it’s time to seek Him now! Here’s how to do it effectively:

• Go to the Mountain: Spend time in prayer and seek God’s direction for the year.

• Write it Down: Keep a journal or digital notes to capture the vision God gives you.

• Keep it Before the People: Repetition is key! Speak it, post it, and reinforce it throughout the year.

• Apply it to Every Ministry: Every department—from children’s ministry to worship—must align with the vision for the year.

Making Vision Practical

A vague vision isn’t enough. Your church or ministry needs actionable steps to bring the vision to life. If you declare, “2025 is the Year of the Supernatural!”, you must define what that looks like in each area:

• Children’s Ministry: How will kids experience the supernatural?

• Music Ministry: What songs reinforce the supernatural move of God?

• Usher Team: How will they prepare for supernatural altar calls?

Leadership Structure: Strengthening the Foundation

For ministries to thrive, leaders must invest in their top leaders first. A strong church starts with strong leadership.

• Pastors: Meet with your top leaders before addressing the entire church.

• Leaders: Then meet with your teams to impart vision.

• Consistent Meetings: The more effective a ministry, the more often it meets. Once a month maintains, twice a month grows, weekly transforms.

Handling Church Conflict & Troublemakers

Every year, troublemakers arise—people who challenge leadership and stir division. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to chaos and decline.

• Deal with issues immediately. Unchecked problems grow like infections.

• Don’t tolerate disrespect. What you allow sets a standard for the entire church.

• Speak the truth in love. Many people believe the first thing they hear—set the record straight with wisdom and authority.

Stop Filling Positions with Warm Bodies

One of the biggest mistakes churches make is putting the wrong people in leadership just because they are available. Availability does not equal anointing.

• Assign leaders for a defined term. One-year positions create natural transitions.

• Every leader needs an assistant. What happens if a leader suddenly leaves?

• Recruit wisely. Instead of open calls for volunteers, personally ask people to serve once a month.

Final Thoughts: Keep Your Hand on the Pulse

2025 will be a year of unprecedented victory—but only if we remain intentional about vision, leadership, and structure. Keep your hand on the pulse of your ministry, ensure alignment with God’s direction, and commit to doing the work of the Kingdom with passion and persistence.
