HOW BIG IS YOUR PREPARATION?

It is the season of Christmas once again and as the custom of some families are, it is normal to prepare for guests, hence the need for preparation of a guest list, list of menu to be prepared and list of gifts to purchase. 

There is one fundamental driver to the above preparation and that is the answer to the question: HOW MANY PEOPLE AM I EXPECTING? 

Cooking for 50 is never the same as cooking for 500. Cooking for 500 is not the same as cooking for 5,000 and cooking for 5,000 is not the same as cooking for the world.

True greatness is only measured by the size of impact. 

In your area of business, how many are you 'cooking' for?

In your area of calling, gifting or assignment, how many are you cooking for? 

When I see the magnitude of your preparation, I can tell you the size of your impact list. Those who intend to cook for 5,000 do not have the same lifestyle as those who intend to cook for just 50 people. 

Stop envying lifestyles that reflect 'I have done enough' except you truly have done enough according to God's definition of enough. 

There is a verse of scripture that I love so much and it has brought a strong sense of responsibility since July 1995 upon my life...

Jesus said to his disciples in Matt. 5:14

...ye are the light of THE WORLD...

It didn't say, the light of your family, 

It didn't say the light of your locality,

It didn't say the light of your country...

But the light of the world.

This is an indication of the size of your 'destiny impact list'. For the sake of leading by example, Jesus gave his life for THE WORLD by dying for the world. 

Jesus did not just die for those in his days but for the world ahead. This is the TRUE meaning of greatness according to God's standard. 

The question is HOW BIG IS YOUR PREPARATION? 

Start where you are but have the world in your vision and prepare accordingly.

You will not fail God!
