NOTE.
The secret to getting more is gratitude. The agenda of God can't be fulfilled without the participation of men and women. God is interested in your motives and intentions. God is interested in the reason behind the activity. The fact that the prayer point sounds nice does not mean it's valid. The characteristics of what God will use is depending on your heart.
1- You must guide ur heart.
2- You must take time off. God is interested in the intention, not the reaction.

What do you do?
Ensure quality relationship with your maker continually.
Ensure quality relationship with people.
Ensure quality impact for people.
Ensure you pass the test of life before leaving.
Ensure you use your opportunities well.
Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.
On Sunday, we wrapped up on the message titled "The Gifts of Men," in which we addressed the relationships of men you should pray for and how to maintain them.
Some of these relationships of men are:
Defenders: They are the ones who always speak in your favour, in your defence. They risk their integrity for you.
Intercessors: They the ones designed to intercede on your behalf.
Coaches. In every department of your life you need coaches to coach you on principles that govern the areas of your life.
Gate Keepers: They are the keepers of your destiny.
HOW TO MAINTAIN THESE RELATIONSHIPS.
Integrity: Be honest with you dealings with people.
Loyalty: It has to do with reliability, debendability.
Submission: Sometimes you have to put your will aside to submit. Sometimes it's not easy.
Honour: There are certain people God bring into your life, you must learn to honour them.
"IN THE LAW OF TERRITORY; THE EARTH BELONGS TO MEN". On Sunday we were blessed by the pastor's ministration, talking about "The Gifts of Men" .
