The Power of Vision

It's not about your past or where you are now; what matters is where you're planning to go and how you currently portray your determination to get there. That's what we call "the power of vision". Let your vision give you the 4x4 drive to take you through all the mountains and valleys with enthusiasm that can not be stopped!

Character needs to back up the gift

You can have an excellent gift but it can't help you bear fruit that remains unless your character backs up the gift. The gift is only proof of God's generosity towards you but it's your character that portrays your maturity in Him.

Determination and Commitment

If you want to go to another level, you have to be able to believe and choose to act beyond your current level. The reason as to why you have to apply "determination and commitment" is that usually life will not give you everything you need on a silver platter, but will prompt you to stretch your arm to the ceiling. It's the reason I sometimes say that "not having is often a choice rather than a condition". At one point you need to get tired of saying "I don't have" and at least progress to the next level of "I have a little" because if you don't choose that way, life will never give you "enough" at any one point! For instance, I chose to believe a bus would take us to the following mission before I knew how much it would cost, before anyone would register, before I had a single coin, before etc...Ecclesiastes 11:4...there are some things that you cannot be sure of. You must take a chance. If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops.
