Vision is the Source and hope of life. The greatest gift ever given to mankind is not the gift of sight, but the gift of vision. Sight is a function of the eyes; vision is a function of the heart. ‘Eyes that look are common, but eyes that see are rare.’ Nothing noble or noteworthy on earth was ever done without vision.
You become a leader when you decide to be an original and not a copy.
Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams. Govern your life by priorities not your pressures.

Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behavior, while poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and actions.
Praise must be learned in private before it is exhibited in public.
God wants to supply your needs from a place you never expected, through people you never knew, in ways you never thought, but first you have to believe that it is possible. Once you understand that His ability to meet your needs is bigger than your job or your business, you will find that your source of life is bigger than the resources that you have been accumulating.
Purpose gives birth to hope and instills the passion to act.
External circumstances will not change until internal belief systems change.
We are not to be so concerned about who approves or disapproves of us, but remember that God's approval is what counts. Those whom God approves are approved indeed.

Circumstances and crises are God's tools to move you into your purpose and the maximizing of your potential.
God did not create woman from man’s head, that he should command her, nor from his feet, that she should be his slave, but rather from his side, that she should be near his heart.
Your work is not your job. Your job is what they pay you to do; your work is what you were born to do.
Marital faithfulness involves more than just sexual fidelity. Being faithful to your wife also means defending her and affirming her beauty, intelligence, and integrity at all times, particularly before other people. Faithfulness to your husband means sticking up for him, always building him up and never tearing him down. Marital fidelity means that your spouse’s health, happiness, security, and welfare take a higher place in your life than anything else except your own relationship with the Lord.
The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness
God designed the world in such a way that everything functions on principles. Principles are eternal laws established and inherent in creation that make creation function.
The first basic need of a male is sexual fulfillment; for a female, affection. The second most basic need of a male is recreational companionship; for a female, communication and conversation. The third basic need of a male in a relationship is an attractive woman; for a woman, honesty and openness. The fourth basic need of a male is domestic support; for a female, financial support. The fifth basic need of a male is admiration and respect; for a woman, family commitment.
If we are focusing on our needs, the relationship is in trouble.
Divine Law is not subject nor affected by the majority vote of humanity
Leadership does not mean being bossy, always telling others what to do. No, leadership means going ahead, not putting others in the front. Good leaders lead by example, not by decree.
When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable
You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live.

Leadership is not about control but service. Its not about power but empowerment
God never demands anything that He does not provide for. Whatever God commands us to do, He equips us to do.
Learn to recognize and combat the enemies of potential.
You came into this world pregnant with unlimited potential.
No one came to earth empty; everybody came with a contribution to make to their generation. Most of them never find that gift and even more die never releasing it.
Failure is not the absence of success. Failure is the neglect of trying.
There is no limit to what the Lord can do in and with and through any individual or any married couple who surrender themselves and their resources completely to His will and His way.
The husband provides direction; the wife, maintenance.
Don't be a pigeon if you were born to be an eagle. Experience God's altitude for your life.
Your future is not ahead of you, it's trapped within you
People generally fall into one of three groups: the few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the overwhelming majority who have no notion of what happens. Every person is either a creator of fact or a creature of circumstance. He either puts color into his environment, or, like a chameleon, takes color from his environment.
There is nothing more powerful as attitude.
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.
When we evaluate the rightness or wrongness of actions or behavior, we need to ask ourselves if that behavior will edify—build up—ourselves or someone else, or if it will tear down. The question is not what we can get away with, but what is healthy and edifying. When it is all said and done, are we edified spiritually? Have we been built up and strengthened in our relationship with the Lord or with our spouse, or have we been weakened? Do we come away encouraged or discouraged, confident or filled with a sense of guilt or shame? Is our conscience clean?
The Bible is really not a religious book but a divine manual written by the manufacturer of humanity by which the product man is supposed to live. If we learn those principles and obey them, then we find that the process of failure to success becomes more inevitability than experiment.
A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.
The third basic need of a male in a relationship is an attractive woman; for a woman, honesty and openness.
The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.
We manifest character when self-sacrifice for the sake of our principles becomes more important than compromise for the sake of popularity.
If you have hope for the future you have true riches; no matter how much you have in your account
Once a man and woman have married, the only thing they should receive from their parents is advice and counsel, and then only when they ask for it. Parents should not offer opinions or advice without being asked.
You will never change anything that you are willing to tolerate.
Great leadership is not attained by pursuing greatness but by persevering through great tests.

Success in the present is only achieved when you put your focus where you want your future.
Your existence is evidence that this generation needs something that your life contains
I went from one state of life to another state of life by obeying, understanding, and applying the principles that are laid down in the Bible.
We need people to be taught that they possess a hidden leader on the inside, and to reconnect to that leader, they must reconnect to the Creator who placed that leadership potential in them. They must be reconnected to God, and this is why we should come back to God not really to go to heaven, but to rediscover our true leadership dominion mandate, and then serve that to the world.
The first word Jesus used in His earthly ministry was repent. Repent means to change the way you've been conditioned to think, and I believe that is the only way we are going to see the impact of the original concepts and idea of God.
When you get before great people you don't talk a lot, you ask questions
You can never change what you don't confront and transform what you avoid.

Your faith is only as strong as the test it survives

Democracy without God is mans worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence or humanism, where man becomes his own measure for morality, judgment, and justice.
You are not saved for the sole purpose of going to heaven; you are saved to finish your assignment on earth
If you are aware that people are coming to you to receive your gift and not necessarily to you as the person, it keeps you very humble. Many people make the mistake of confusing the attraction of people to their lives as something that has to do with them as a person or a personality, and this is very dangerous and not true.
Failure is predictable if you break laws, success is predictable if you obey laws. I discovered and learned that truth when I was 14 years old. Not everyone discovers that. Some people take a lifetime to learn that.
The wealthiest places in the world are not gold mines, oil fields, diamond mines or banks. The wealthiest place is the cemetery. There lies companies that were never started, masterpieces that were never painted… In the cemetery there is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential. There is a treasure within you that must come out. Don’t go to the grave with your treasure still within YOU.
The worst mistake a leader can make is to mentor no one, choose no successor and leave no legacy.
We live our lives based on who we think we are.

True leaders are born when you find something to die for
The highest manifestation of true leadership is to identify one’s replacement and to begin mentoring him or her.
Young people all over the world are very frustrated. They are very disillusioned. Many of them are turning their back on religion. They are walking away from the faith of their parents, and most of this is because religion has failed them.
We will never obtain God's kind of marriage simply by going along with the crowd, doing what everybody else does. We have to dig deep into the heart of God to discover His principles.
It's safer to do nothing and know why you doing it, than to do something and don't know why you do it.
True Leaders do not manipulate others they INSPIRE them.

The secret to greatness is in serving everyone else.
In life, purpose is defined by the thing that makes you angry. Martin Luther was angry; Mandela was angry; Mahatma Gandhi was angry; Mother Teresa was angry. If you are not angry, you do not have a ministry yet.
Let me define prayer for you in this show. Prayer is man giving God permission or license to interfere in earth's affairs. In other words, prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference.
One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die untapped.
Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.

I’m washed, I’m forgiven, I’m whole, and I’m healed. I’m cleansed and I’m glory bound. I am only a sojourner on the earth. I am but a pilgrim on this planet, on my way to perfection, and I don’t need anybody to tell me who I am, because I know who I am. I am a child of the King, a son (or daughter) of God, born again through Jesus Christ, bought with the price of His blood. I am a new creation, totally new, thoroughly loved and completely accepted as a child of my Father, precious in His sight.
God’s will and desire—His pleasure—is that we love Him. We cannot please God unless we love Him. We cannot love Him unless we know Him, and we cannot know Him unless we have faith in Him.
We need to put people in positions of authority in government, business, law, medicine, media, sports and entertainment who are filled with the laws of God so that we can bring those laws into effect.
God’s love sets us free from the need to seek approval. Knowing that we are loved by God, accepted by God, approved by God, and that we are new creations in Christ empowers us to reject self-rejection and embrace a healthy self-love. Being secure in God’s love for us, our love for Him, and our love for ourselves, prepares us to fulfill the second greatest commandment: To love our neighbor as ourselves.
No matter how good or bad we may feel, no matter how up or down we may be, Christ loves us, accepts us, and thinks the world of us.

Your value in life is determined by the problems you solve through your gift.
You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out
You are capable of much more than you are presently thinking, imagining, doing or being.
No matter how many people celebrate your gifts, don't ever think that you are more important to them than your gift is to them. This is why many people fail: They fail because they think that people came to follow them.
Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have nothing to offer. That simply is not true. God does not create any junk.
