Life is to be lived once, if you have correct information, once is enough!
*To enjoy continuous progress, there must be continuous change
*The kind of thinking that brought you to this place is not the kind that will take you to your destiny
*The road to success is always under construction!
What is perspective? It is an expression of your attitude.
Effect of negative perspective
1. It stagnates Num.13:31
What you see today
determines where you’ll be tomorrow (wilderness in Canaan)
Ø
Do you see a Nigeria where only crooks make it
Ø
Where no one can secure work without knowing the commissioner/minister!
2. Removes your joy and the
joy of people around you. Num.13:33, 14:1
3. Impart fear and remove
faith
Peter’s story walking on
the sea
At every junction, you
have two choices
·
Look unto Jesus
·
Look unto the storm
If you look at Jesus, you
will walk
If you look at the storm,
you will sink
Perspective made David a
winner in the battle to Elah! 1Sam.17
Effects of positive
perspective
1. It attracts God into your
situation. Ps.34:22
2. It imparts enthusiasm and
zeal.
David just began to talk
to everyone who cares to listen! This non-living thing, I will bring him down.
During rainfall some
shiver, some hiss, some look for clean vessels to collect water.
You can’t deliver the
goods if your heart is heavier than the load.
3. Positive perspective is
your spear. David ran!
I can’t is the conclusion
of fools. It cannot be done is the conclusion of thoughtless men.

Life is not an experiment.
You can either stand up and be counted or lie down and be counted out! It’s up
to you.
