REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 15….. DO MORE THAN KEEP UP WITH CHANGE
The message that the Church has is just as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. So, why isn’t the message being perceived in such a way? Because the way in which it is delivered hasn’t changed enough to be received as relevant.
As people presenting the life-changing message of the Gospel we must [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 14….. HAVE A SENSE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 13….. BE MOTIVATED BY A MISSION
We go where our dreams take us. And if you don’t have a dream you’re not going anywhere. A friend of mine, who is a Doctor, tells me that cancer patients who live the longest often spoke of a powerful sense of mission to live. Many Christian profess that they will die for what they [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 12….. DRAW FROM BIG THINKERS
Proverbs 13:20 tells us that the person who walks with wise people will be wise. One of the fundamental keys to enlarging your potential is this: Exposure to bigger thinkers. It can be so easy to become a big fish in a small pond, but the moment you step into a bigger pond, you [...]

When a person feels encouraged he can accomplish the impossible. This is aln essental key to drawing the best out of someone. Show appreciation to them and begin to make them feel like a champion or a princess. (Hopefully the right one for the right sex).
When people feel their best they will do a better [...]

REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 9….. RISE ABOVE FEAR
Henry Ford said one of the great discoveries a man makes is to find he can do what he thought he couldn’t. It’s us who put the limits on what we can and cannot do. And it’s up to us to rise above. I have to quote yesterday’s verse again, 2 Timothy 1:7 “God did [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 8….. EMBRACE DISCIPLINE
I mentioned discipline yesterday, and want to reinforce it’s importance today.
Many people avoid discipline and don’t even like talking about, but the truth is discipline is not your enemy. A man without discipline of character can never be said to belong to himself, he belongs to whatever takes him captive. What’s got you held captive?

REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 7….. DON’T TAKE SHORTCUTS
Zechariah 4:10 reminds us to embrace small beginnings. There’s no quick way to succeed in life, when someone wins fast something is usually left out.
In life there are often mistakes. If you have spent time building the right foundation, should you fall, then you’ll have something solid to come back to.
Ask yourself the following question, [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 6….. STRENGTHEN YOUR STRENGTHS
For some reason we’ve always been taught to work on our weaknesses. Yet, if you want to reach your potential you need to play your strengths not your weaknesses. People who reach their potential spend their time asking themselves what am I doing well, rather than what am I doing poorly.
Avoid taking a [...]
