Redefining The Great Commission by Apostle Joshua Selman

Mark 15:16-17, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8 KJV

Jeremiah 1:5 KJV

Ambition sometimes can align with purpose, but ambition is not purpose

• Ambition is a product of desire
• Ambition is a product of many other factors

But purpose has to do with a divine assignment with your name on it.

4. What Can I do?

• This speaks of your Potential
• This speaks of your Giftings
• This speaks of your Abilities

You cannot discuss the subject of purpose until you really understand potential.

2 Kings 4:1-2 KJV

For a very strange reason, we trivialize the giftings in us that become the greatest source of our confidence and relevance.

Potential cannot serve and cannot receive reward when it is crude; you have to discover it, appreciate it, develop it, and deploy it

Philemon 1:6 KJV

Little becomes much when it is refined.

Proverbs 18:1 KJV
