Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.

By the time I went to the pulpit, the vision was never on the same level as when God first gave it to me; it was clearer and bigger. It was better because the body of Christ complemented what God had given me. So when I gave the vision to the congregation, the influencers already bought it. Then after the people have heard my message, and migrate to the influencers, these influencers are already my allies and help me communicate the vision to the congregation.

It was while I was pastoring that I began to realize that pastors were not growing churches because they didn't understand leadership because they were not trained, adequate leaders.

If you are too attached to your own thinking and how everything is done now, then nothing will change for the better.

All visions begin with relationships. My relationship with God is where I receive the vision; my relationship with my people is where I give the vision. If those relationships aren't what they could be or should be, on either side, the receiving or the giving out, the vision is going to be aborted.

One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish much. Success is the result of people pulling together to meet common goals.

Your core values are the deeply held beliefs that authentically describe your soul.
