Nevertheless, in my work as a pastor, I have had to task myself far more. I can’t possibly express how tight my schedule is, every single day, every week. There are times I have had to preach almost every day of the week at different locations and in different programmes. Yet, I can’t just climb the pulpit carelessly or try to look for some previous notes to preach the next message.

I would have to sit down and prepare like I want to write a difficult examination. There were times I have had to peruse over 200 Scripture passages to arrive at a 30 minute-message.

Besides a tight ministration schedule, the Seeds of Destiny – our daily devotional guide – is being written; worship songs are being received, written and recorded; books are being written; the church is being administered globally; Pastors conference taking place, amongst others.

Now, someone could look at us and say, “Oh that man is really lucky! Look at how everything is just going fine for him. See what a big church he is pastoring. God is a bit partial, you know; imagine how He favours some people more than others…”

Wow! Let such a person try that ‘luck’ for just one week and see how enjoyable it is.

You don’t know what you want until you have known what to do to get it.

I declare that the grace to give it all it takes to arrive at where you are going is released upon you in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Remember this: Once you know what to do, get to work, give it all you have got; give it all it takes.
