TAILORMADE BY GOD

  You’re in charge. You’re responsible. People depend on you. But if you were honest, when was the last time you felt alive in leadership? There’s a difference between leading and maintaining. And for too many pastors, ministers, and leaders, the lines have quietly blurred. You’re still showing up. You’re still serving. But you’re not moving. You’re maintaining what was when God is calling you into what’s next. Maintenance feels safe. Movement feels risky. It’s easy to hide in maintenance. The systems are set. The people are used to it. Nobody complains at least, not loudly. The machine keeps running. But as Bishop Vincent D Collins explains in Tailormade by God , leadership isn’t about preservation. It’s about obedience. God didn’t call you to babysit a ministry. He called you to lead it. That means movement. That means decisions. That means vision that challenges people and yourself. Maintenance might feel like faithfulness. But if it’s disconnected from fresh instruction, it’s ...

  You’re gifted. You love God. You’ve served faithfully. So why do you still feel… stuck? If you’re a leader, a builder, a believer with purpose, you’ve probably felt it: that invisible wall between where you are and where you know you’re meant to be. Maybe you’ve prayed for clarity. Maybe you’ve blamed the people around you. Maybe you’ve told yourself it’s just not your season. But what if the delay isn’t about them … or timing … or circumstance ? What if what’s really holding you back is you? Let’s talk about obedience In his book Tailormade by God , Bishop Vincent D Collins challenges leaders to stop looking for new directions if they haven’t followed the old ones. According to Bishop Vincent D Collins, you don’t need another word from God. You need to respond to the one you’ve already heard. Oof. That one stings. Because the truth is, many of us already know what the next step is, we’re just avoiding it. Why? Fear. Pride. Comfort. Control. Maybe we don’t like what God asked us...

  Based on insights from Bishop Vincent D Collins’ book Tailormade by God Some leaders speak well, organize well, and serve faithfully but still feel like they’re running in place. Everything looks functional on the outside. But inside, the passion is fading, the direction is fuzzy, and the weight of leadership feels heavier than ever. Bishop Vincent D Collins argues that in most cases, the missing element isn’t effort or talent. It’s vision . In his book Tailormade by God , Collins lays out a powerful truth: vision isn’t optional. It’s the spiritual fuel that gives a leader clarity, direction, and endurance. Without it, you may work harder but go nowhere. Vision isn’t a buzzword. It’s a divine mandate. In churches and ministries today, “vision” gets tossed around like a trend. Mission statements, branding, and long-term planning get mistaken for vision. But Collins cuts through the noise. Vision, he teaches, is what God has specifically revealed about what you’re meant ...

  An article based on the teachings of Bishop Vincent D Collins in his book Tailormade by God Leadership in the church comes with high expectations: to grow, to guide, to sustain vision, to empower others. Yet across ministries and organizations, many sincere, hardworking leaders find themselves stuck not in scandal, not in sin, but in stagnation . The lights stay on. The meetings happen. The titles remain. But the forward motion, the spiritual progress is gone. Bishop Vincent D Collins doesn’t just acknowledge this painful reality. In Tailormade by God , he confronts it head-on. This isn’t a book filled with formulas or performance strategies. It’s a call to break free from stillness that looks like faithfulness but lacks fruit. According to Collins, the reason many leaders fail to move forward is disconnection from obedience, vision, and divine urgency. They’re waiting for new instruction while ignoring the last one One of the foundational truths in Tailormade by God ...
