Wait No More

We are waiting on God and asking Him to steer our lives when He has shown us the map and given us the steering wheel (dominion).

Your intelligence is not determined by your IQ but by your mindset.

Your dominion over the life you live is proportionate to your faith. Do you believe you have the dominion (control) that God has given you? Are you still begging God to do things he has given you the authority to do?

Faith is a fact and an act. The difference is in the doing. God is waiting on us to be faithful with the authority he has given us.

The Closer

this point was brought home to me further from a movie i watched “The Closer”. i want you to picture how this scene opens. in a large, dark auditorium you see hundreds and hundreds of people waiting to hear a speech from the top income earner. he is the top of the top. they are all there waiting to hear his advice on how to become a superstar like him. the lights dim and the only thing you really see is a spotlight focused on the podium. then, he walks out and says this:

“What does it take to reach this level of success? What are you willing to give up in pursuit of your dream? Stop kidding yourself. Go after what you want. A man does not strive for greatness and embrace mediocrity. There is no compromise in a dream. Compromise is an excuse for falling short while you lay on your couch in front of your TV with your remote control and your glass of beer, watching someone else run with your dream.

Do me a favor. Don’t wake up one morning when your hair is gray and the elastic has gone out of your waistline, with shaving cream all over your face and ask yourself, ‘What have I been doing for the last 30 years? This isn’t my life. This isn’t where my passion lies.’ Don’t be afraid of your ambitions. If other people hold you back then you don’t want it badly enough, and don’t tell me you do.

Other people don’t stop you from dreaming. You stop yourself. You get in your own way because you are afraid of what you might become, even if that something is a wonderful thing.”
