Only by serving people, becoming a minister, then can we be great
Mat 20:26
God is alright for us to want to be great but we need to serve!
Mat 20:27

Ps 147:6
James 4:6
1 Pet 5:6
- Courage

God will back you if you believe in Him
- Loyalty
Num 14:24
It’s not tough to be loyal in good times, but what about crisis?
Dreams not coming to pass? Can we still remain loyal?
Dreams that are worthwhile will not happen overnight
4 reasons for divine delays

iii) God is waiting for you to show more passion for the little things He has already given you
Pro 13:4
iv) God is waiting for you to deal with the sin in your life
Remove the dirt in my life so that I can build my home on the stone of Jesus
