God's Strategic Objectives
Objectives provides a more detailed look at what God needs to accomplish for His mission to succeed. These are results that God will achieve.
“God’s purposes are a chain which unites, link by link, to guard His working machinery from being diverted to uses other than those which He has planned. Satan is constantly trying to break this chain. Those whom God has made stewards in trust are impressed by Him to relieve His distressed instrumentalities, and thus mend the broken lines in His chain, until it becomes a great whole. God desires to work out His plan in all his European institutions. Who will venture to turn aside one soul from his duty?” (15LtMs, Ms 66a, 1900, par. 5).
