The Direction Of The Word As From God

The fifth key you'd need to make the best of any year is set goals once you receive a word from God, the next thing you need to do is set goals according to what god spoke to you. Note, it has to be according to what god spoke to you, and not according to what your resources can reach. If your resources can help you reach those goals, then they are not goals at all.

Goals are desires set in motion. Many people have great desires, but they don't achieve them only because they lack motion. If you do research on people's desire for last year alone, you'd discover that many of them desired to start a business, some desired to further their education, get married, buy a land, or even build a house. But many of them couldn't reach those desires for lack of motion. Goals are desires set in motion in order to reach them. In mark 11:24, the bible tells us how to maximize our desires.

It says, "what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them”. I had to capitalize "believe" and "receive" just to lay some emphasis. Once you pray about a desire, don't wait around till God sends an angel to get it across to you; instead, believe that you've received that desire. And if that's the case, all you have to do is set goals that would enable you reach them. There's no proof that you believe what you've prayed for without setting goals to receive them.

It didn't say you believe that an angel will deliver to your doorstep; it says believe that you've received them. If you desire to build a house for instance, and you've prayed about it, believe that God has approved it. What you have to do next is set goals that will enable you to see the physical manifestation of your desires.

That's it! Goals are desires set in motion. I wrote a book titled “reaching your goals”; it would show you how to set goals and reach them. I recommend you read it.
