My pastor shared a powerful message at our recent vision night about how we need to enlarge our territory, that we have an assignment on our lives to fulfil, and that we have been called to have a big capacity.
Now what is capacity?
The ability to contain. But with the expansion of that capacity comes the ability and requirement of you to be able to hold more. And what does that look like? It unveils itself in the form of both responsibility and leadership. And at times it will often require you to go where others have never been.
In one essence it is the state of an explorer cutting through virgin and uncharted territory. It is not the place for the faint hearted, but rather the playground of the visionary.

A life with a cause is a life with effect.
So let me raise this question. What cause are you living for that is greater than yourself and more expansive than your own personal sphere?
It is so easy to be wrapped up in the daily grind, to focus only on the 9 to 5 scenario, or to only look for the instant gratification that is supplied to us so readily in the world in which most of us live.

For vision is your compass to lead you through the smoke, the fire, the fog, the hail, the rain, the sunshine and even the haze – step by step – one step at a time.

I was recently reviewing a random selection of my journals – I currently have forty of these on my home office bookshelf that cover a period of thirty years. In these precious volumes I have recorded the intimate reflections of my thoughts, my dreams, my concerns, my plans, my hopes and my desires. And as I flicked from page to page I could sense the struggle, I could feel the fight that was encapsulated in every word that I scribbled on those pages.
For within these volumes has been waged many a battle. This combat was, and is to this day, my personal struggle to unveil my destiny and to possess my future.
Every single page resembled a wrestling match as I tossed and I turned with my thought processes. The wrestle is represented by every stroke of my pen upon the pages found within these precious journals.
But as I read page after page I discovered a truth. And the truth was this: Your future and my future must be possessed.
