What To Do To Have An Effective Retreat:

1. THANKSGIVING

A retreat should be a moment of lavish, uncensored thanksgiving to God (Psalm 92:1-4).

Your retreat is not complete without thanksgiving.

2. AN HONEST APPRAISAL OF THE PAST YEAR (SEASON). Proverbs 18:1

Strategic retreats are imperative for defining seasons in a man’s life.

You appraise the past year based on the following parameters:

– Spiritual life
– Mental transformation
– Health and wellness
– Purpose and assignment
– Finances
– Relationships

3. HUMBLY SEEK DIRECTION FROM GOD. (Psalm 32:8, Proverbs 3:6)

God directs men in the place of retreat. Confusion is an index of an incomplete retreat.

What To Do To Have An Effective Retreat:

4. BUILD PLANS AND RESOLUTIONS FOR THE PHASE. (Luke 14:28-30)

The ability to finish well depends on proper planning. Factor in your current activities, as you develop a system that will enable you live a well-balanced and productive life.

5. OBTAIN “THE DOING GRACE”.
(John 13:17, Romans 7:19)

Your plans and resolutions will not find manifestation, if they are not backed up by ACTION. Without THE DOING GRACE, all plans will come to naught.
