Having massive Faith
Faith is the trade secret of the Kingdom and its currency while ‘massive’ is defined as exceptionally large. When coupled mutually, massive faith suggests exercising the trade secret and currency like never before. It’s like trying to love again after heartbreak, learning a new skill after losing a job, or starting the business without capital (powered by purpose and drive).

Don’t Compete, Create
Faith isn’t competitive. It is creative and collaborative. Breakthroughs arise from imagination and innovation, not envy and contention.
A good portion of my life was misused on competing, complaining, and complacency. I practiced total disregard for God’s grace regarding the ability to create. Having no direction, I made excuses – God isn’t attentive to complaints and sacrifice. God wants obedience and integrity.
There is only abundance, not scarcity, and that is a mindset I had to adopt. Gifts and calling are without repentance but require full attention because faith will complete you. Remember, without faith, it is impossible to please God. It is faith’s desire to expand our territory, but it is our responsibility to fill the expansion through creativity.
