Stop living someone else’s vision – Must read!

When I met up with Max Lyons, the pastor from Hillsong Church London, in an interview, he shared why it’s important to never live out someone else’s dream. He shared the story of a young man he knew who was volunteering as an intern at the church. Once he completed his internship, the main pastor at the church congratulated him with excitement on his great work, and offered him a job as a full-time minister at the church. He responded to the pastor with appreciation, but said, “That’s cool, but I don’t think that’s where God has called me.” He declined the pastoral job offer due to his conviction that God had sent him to work in the insurance sector. So he went to work for a reputable insurance agency, and soon became the fastest-promoted insurance representative in the history of Willis Insurance Company, while at the same time doing amazing things for the Kingdom of God.
