“Leadership is not about control but service. Its not about power but empowerment.”

The highest manifestation of true leadership is to identify one’s replacement and to begin mentoring him or her.

Learning comes from education, while knowing comes from revelation. Learning is cognitive, while knowing is spiritual.

We are not to be so concerned about who approves or disapproves of us, but remember that God’s approval is what counts. Those whom God approves are approved indeed.

For a woman, language spoken is an expression of what she is feeling. For a man, language spoken is an expression of what he is thinking. A woman says what is on her heart while a man says what is on his mind.

Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels – the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams,and personality.

The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation.

The bible does not say that a man’s education makes room for him, but that his gifts does. Education is not the key to success, it doesn’t guarantee anything; it is your gift that is the key to success.

Democracy without God is mans worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence or humanism, where man becomes his own measure for morality, judgment, and justice.

Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have nothing to offer. That simply is not true. God does not create any junk.

The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.

There is no limit to what the Lord can do in and with and through any individual or any married couple who surrender themselves and their resources completely to His will and His way.

In life, purpose is defined by the thing that makes you angry. Martin Luther was angry; Mandela was angry; Mahatma Gandhi was angry; Mother Teresa was angry. If you are not angry, you do not have a ministry yet.

The poorest person on earth is the person without faith.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

The worst mistake a leader can make is to mentor no one, choose no successor and leave no legacy.

When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.

Now that we are poor, we are free. No white man controls our footsteps.

It’s funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don’t think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you’re in control.

When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.

When things are beyond your control and there is nothing you can do,why worry?

I’m from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there’s no one in control.

Think: Is this in my control? If yes, you can do something about it. If no, then you cannot do anything about it. Therefore, in both circumstances, why worry?

All things are temporary and that we can’t truly own or control anything.

Freedom is control in your own life.
