God never intended us to be loners. We need others to pray for us, encourage us, challenge us, and keep us honest. That’s why Jesus sent out the disciples two-by-two. That’s why Paul had Silas and Moses had Aaron.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17
While Proverbs 27:17 isn’t true about Superbowl parties, it is true about accountability relationships. When we ask someone to keep us accountable, God uses that relationship to make us better than we could ever become by ourselves.
New Year’s resolutions are 10 times more likely to fail if you haven’t asked someone to keep you accountable.
Note: Christian accountability relationships should be male-male and female-female.
Ask God to lead you to the right accountability partner.
Brainstorm at least 3 people you know who can keep a secret:
1.
2.
3.
Choose one and ask if they are willing to keep you accountable.
Give them a copy of your access areas [link], obedience areas [link], and your concrete action steps [link].
Meet for about an hour at least once per month for accountability.
I would love to know how God has used this vision process in your life. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you've discovered.
