Power is the ability to control your circumstances

1. we have the sense and need for success. We hate to fail.

Men do not decide their future. We decide our habits, our habits decide our future.

what is your private habit? What is your public habit?

Discontentment is the seed of change

You will never become what you could be until you become angry with what you are

Anger brings change

Your life is defined by what you hate

Whatever you were created to become you possess it now

You came to planet Earth with your gutter inside of you. God placed your future in a place he knew you couldn’t miss it

You were sent to Earth to release your hidden potential on Earth

1. God created everything with gifts. Everything in creation was created with a gift
2. A gift is an inherent capacity to fulfill a function that needs a need in the creation

A gift can not be learned it can only be refined.

The gift is the source of value to the created thing

If you don’t find your gift, you will die broke and poor

Purpose determines your gift

Proverbs 18:19 KJV

• The gift of the seed is the tree
• The gift of the tree is fruit
• The gift of the leaves of tree is oxygen
• The gift of the bird is flight

Genesis 1:11-12 KJV, 2 Corinthians 9:10 KJV

Confessions

1. The seed of everything is in itself
2. The end of a thing is hidden in the thing
3. Everything a thing is to become is in itself
4. God placed the future of everything in itself
5. Everything you were born to become is trapped within you

2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV

Jesus came to die to salvage the gift
