pray first

The absolute most important part of doing successful Kingdom business is dependence on God.

His Holy Spirit must be your guide, your consultant and your chief advisor.

Submit all things to the Lord; before every decision, big or small, ask him "what is it you would have me do here?".

Make listening a priority component of your prayer life.

Seek God. Seek his face, his will and his glory alone.

Everything else is secondary.
