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.

As a servant leader the way you serve the vision is by developing people so that they can work on that vision even when you're not around.
