Surplus Dreams

Do you have big dreams, what can God do through you?

Today's Scripture:

With that kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back.

2 Corinthians 3:12

Do you live in the comfort zone of your capability, or do you dare to dream in your role as a leader? A leader's ability to have the biggest dreams of anyone in your organization, family or work is significant. When you plan, make it a three-pronged plan by setting a goal, marking a hope, and daring a dream.

Carry your goals all the way through to attaining your dreams. Goal setting is familiar to leaders. Goals should be attainable but challenging for your organization and family. Once you have set your goal, next mark your hope. What do you really hope you will achieve if everyone is working to his or her best capability? The final prong of planning is more daring. What do you dream? What is the impossible that you would be foolish to say aloud? When you know this is impossible in your own power and capability - you have arrived at exceeding, abundant thinking. God can do even more than that for you and through you.

In your three-pronged planning, motivate your entire organization by sharing your goals, hopes, and dreams.

Surplus planning almost guarantees success above and beyond your original goal.

It raises the standard of excellence without burdening your followers (or yourself) with undue pressure. God is able to step into your organization or family and do the dream - even above what you can imagine or request.

Selah people' and friends examine your goals. Can you press them a little further? Take a daring approach and plan beyond your stated goal. Show exceeding, abundant thinking in your plan.

"Raise your level of expectation and allow God to go bigger than you ever thought possible."

Your pastor,
