INVENTORY CONTROL

STOCK LEVELS 

As I walk around the card sections of department stores I have seen the signs, "time to reorder" or "sold out" indicating that the stock is running low or is no longer available.  After doing a little meditation and research I would like you to reflect on the following levels and consider your personal stock.  

Maximum Level - Available Stock = Inventory Management
This level calls for inventory management.  This is where you view whether there is enough to meet you/your client demands. Also a good time to see which is less/more likely used.  Perhaps a time to think on which one you may need to order a greater volume.  

Minimum level or Average Level = Time to Reorder
This level is a warning that it is time to reorder.  Immediate action is required to avoid emergency operation. It's also a time to look at which one needs to be advertised or pay more attention to.  

Danger Stock Level = Time for Emergency Purchase 
This level is critical because you stand the risk of running out before the order is received. There's a possibility of not being able to connect to your source on time or other possible delays that can cause you not to have your supply available to meet the various demands. 

Sold Out = TROUBLE
This level is total trouble.  You are exposed to loss, (in case of business you can lose customers, your reputation etc.) your integrity, your joy, hope and get discouraged even to order again. This level also heighten your level of fear, doubt and anxiety.  You may even be exposed to danger and or destruction. 

TODAY'S FOCUS:  SPIRITUAL INVENTORY

Many people today are taking inventory of 2015 and perhaps making new plans for 2016. Here's a question for you -

WHAT IS YOUR INVENTORY LEVEL? 

Before you reply - here's is yet another level to consider it is called....
OVERSTOCK
Definition-
"Supply with more of something than is necessary or required"
"A supply or quantity in excess of demand or requirements"

In the business sense overstock may not be considered the right thing to do.  However, on the spiritual side of things, Overstock is necessary and may even be a requirement as in the story of the Ten Virgins. 

Let's consider how are you stocked up spiritually? (write the level (s) you are at from the list discussed above)-  Reflect on the areas that are necessary for your spiritual journey...
Prayer life, study/devotion, service/community, fruits of the spirit, wisdom/knowledge, relationship with God and men etc....  

Could it be that you are a reprobate and do not wish to improve your spiritual level?
2 Corinthians 13:5-6 (KJV)
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.  Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 

Remember, inventory management is crucial to your business much more so to your spiritual life.  Don't run the risk of falling in the Danger Stock Level which leads to nothing but severe TROUBLE! Overstock is not bad for your spiritual business but important for times when you are unable to reorder because of circumstances beyond your control.  Go into 2015 with enough supply to assist you in your walk with the Lord!  Know that Christ is in you! 

God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
