Our people are obsessed with warning the world instead of taking heed to what manner of people they ought to be. Are you ready to lead in the world tomorrow? More importantly are you exercising Godly leadership in your life on a daily basis? This question applies to everyone, father, mother, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts and cousins? This question is for you? Are we influencing people in a positive or negative manner. This next year will really be a time in which the wheat and chaff will be sifted. In view of all these things what is your spiritual plan for overcoming and making your calling and election sure?
