To change the world

You can't change the world with something from the world, this world resists change and everything wants to revert to its old course. Nothing of this world will make a difference, in the end. The man who would change the world must derive his inspiration from somewhere else. To bring change, your life must be a testament to the power of that change. No one will follow a man whose life does not reflect his mouth. God is the only place to draw upon this world changing power, and God's power is not limited to any part of life.

Someone who can draw on God's power effectively will shine out in a crowd who work for their own selfish desires. Someone who draws their purpose from God has no need for acceptance, and no fear of opinion - God's purpose is validation in itself. Great men throughout history show that this validation is a foundation for influencing and leading others (Look at Churchill, Columbus, Christ, etc).

A world changer must also have a vision. A vision is like a flag for men to rally to; it shines out and gives them the courage to go on. The vision cannot be small, a small vision leads to a weak impact on the world. Even if the vision is unlikely, half the magic is that the seemingly impossible is overcome.

Lastly (for now) a world changer must have an enormous capacity for growth. A large dream will quickly outgrow a small leader, but a man who hungers to grow will only draw strength from the increasing pressures. Any man who thinks he knows enough about anything cannot lead effectively; conversely a man who is too afraid to share his wisdom cannot be enriched.
