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.

People don't really know whether they are committed to something until they face adversity.

You add value to people when you value them.

There is a world of difference between a person who has a big problem and a person who makes a problem big.

Difficulties seldom defeat people; lack of faith in themselves usually does it.

The best leaders realize their success depends on their people.
