Your story matters, and in this blog, we’ll explore the profound implications of having a story that aligns with God’s purpose. Discover what it means to offer your narrative to expand His Kingdom and the responsibilities that accompany accepting the assignment to write and publish a book.
1. Your Story is More Than Just a Book
Your journey as a writer doesn’t end when your book is published on Amazon; it’s just the beginning of stewarding your story. You are not just an author; you are a living, breathing epistle. This will require you to seek guidance on how to extend your story’s reach beyond publishing your book.
2. Targeting Your Message to the Right Audience
Identifying your audience is crucial for every author. Learn how to conduct research to find out where your readers spend their time and attention. Discover how your message can resonate with different demographics, genres, and age groups.
3. Stewarding the Mysteries of God
Your role is not limited to writing a book; you have been entrusted with stewarding the mysteries of God. Explore the significance of being faithful and trustworthy in carrying His message into the marketplace. Learn how to share your revelations with those who need to encounter the God you know.
“So then you must perceive us – not as leaders of factions, but as servants of the Anointed One, those who have been entrusted with God’s mysteries. The most important quality of one entrusted with such secrets is that they are faithful and trustworthy.”
1 Corinthians 4:1-2 TPT
4. Acquiring New Skills for Success
Writing a book and managing your story require different skill sets. Stewarding your story will require insights into marketing, audience building, social media presence, and staying consistent in your storytelling. Embrace perseverance, patience, and a willingness to learn through trial and error.
5. The Long-Term Commitment
Success doesn’t always come quickly, and it can be tempting to give up when immediate results are lacking. Discover the importance of long-term commitment and staying true to your message, even when facing challenges.
6. Don’t Judge by Short-Term Results
Avoid basing the validity of your story on short-term results or public opinion. Understand that God sees your heart and your faithfulness in stewarding the mysteries entrusted to you.
“So resist the temptation to pronounce premature judgement on anything before the appointed time when all will be fully revealed. Instead, wait until the Lord makes his appearance, for he will bring all that is hidden in darkness to light and unveil every secret motive of everyone’s heart. Then, when the whole truth is known, each will receive praise from God.”
1 Corinthians 4:5 TPT
