God wants us to prepare ourselves to expand.

Enlarge the place of your tent - It is important to change our mindset to a growth mindset.

Stretch out the curtains - We must move by faith in whatever area we are trying to advance.

Do not Spare/Hold - We shouldn't hold back when we see obstacles

Lengthen your cords - God wants us to get ready to stretch and handle the related tension.

Strengthen your Stakes - We want to make sure our foundation is strong and roots are deep enough.

Have your dreams got shattered?

- Was it because you shared them with wrong friends?

- Was it because you lost your self-esteem?

- Was it because you were wrongly accused?

Wait for God's favor over you that also brings favor from men.

In this changing world, the unexpected could happen to anyone. So we must,

- Never underestimate the opposing forces

- Never leave your valuables unprotected

- Never trust in people more than you need to

- Always know to lean back on God

How do we fulfill the mission that God has entrusted us with.

- Church has a responsibility.

- I have a responsibility, you all have a responsibility

- I have a role to play, you all have a role to play

- Each one has something to do, we can't deny, we can't relax, we can't hide without doing what we are called to do.

Mothers, I want to challenge you with these questions:

- Do you see the destiny in your child?

- Do you nurture the child as long as she/he is given to you?

- Are you prepared to let your child go when it's time?

Moment we were born, the count down started. The more we wait, the less the time in hand to do anything that’s worth doing. The more we wait, higher the odds that we may never get it done in our lifetime. Then why to wait?
