Your will only start your wheel but cannot get you t the touch line. There is a saying that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride, I say to you, if your will is all you are counting on you will not get there.
        To every dream there are obstacles, obstacles such as stress, pleasure, dream killers and some mountains that keeps appearing all the time. All these obstacles need more than your will to be subdued. Your will is the only thing that gets you started but it can only take you for awhile. You cannot expect the five litre petrol in your car to convey you to a destination of 50km, you need more than that.
         Above perseverance lies what you need. No matter how you persevere,, frustration can weigh you down. What you need to be able to push through at every fall, setback and frustration is determination. 
          If you are determined, you will set the mark and hit the target. Every imagination conceived can always be achieved as long as you can think it, you can achieve it. Your will only gets you going, what gets you there is your determination. All that you need to attain that height is your determination and it only lies in you.
          When you start that dream with your will, it will get to a stage in which your willingness to go further will be weary. Let’s take an example from the scriptures; Jesus was troubled at the act of his disciples because they could not watch with him. Before I go further, try as much as possible to consider the reply, his disciples said; the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. They had the will to pray with Jesus but were not determined. They lacked that determination to push further, to subdue the flesh which stood as an obstacle.
            What you need for you to get to your destination is not your will, it is your determination. With time, any obstacle can kill your will but not your determination.
            Your will, will only start not finish. What determines your height in any field or endeavour is how determined you are. The possibility or manifestation of your dream or idea lies in your determination to push through at every defeat or setback.
            Endurance, perseverance, patience, zeal and commitment all lies in determination, without it that dream will always be a dream. Wishes, dreams and ideas are only fairy tales without determination.
             Have you ever the life of extremist? Let’s delve into this for awhile. An extremist is willing to die for a course he believes in either good or bad. Do you think his will got him to the point of death? Or his he brain washed? No, it is determination, a determination to die for the course he believes in either good or bad. A determination to get that dream that belief and that idea achieved. That is why they never flinch even at breaking point.
              So are you determined to be who God wants you to be? Are you determined to actualize that good and great dream that will make impact in your generation and set your footprint in the sand of time?
               You are the only one that has the answer; nobody can do the calculation for you.
                I love you and the Lord loves you only if you take him along on that journey to your destiny.
                 Your will, will start, your determination will finish. So get started, I will see you at the finish.
