We are destined for greatness. God created each of us with a purpose in mind. Why are you here? You are here because there is a problem you were created to solve. You are probably asking, What problem? How do you discover your purpose? 1. Ask God (). Earnestly pray in line with the Word; asking God to reveal it to you (). God called you to a plan greater than yourself. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet to the nations, even before he was born ().

Mindset Mondays: The Power of Vision
Do you understand the power of vision? Vision has the power to propel you from your perceived path into your ordained destiny. In 2 Kings 7, the four lepers at the gate had a moment of clarity.

At times we find ourselves in Read More

It is an active word that means to wait, look for, hope, expect, look eagerly for, to lie in wait for, to linger for, to collect, bind together, or to be collected.
