It's Personal

Successful implementation of projects in business requires three things: (1) an understanding of what is required and expected; (2) the means for accomplishing what is required and expected; and (3) an individual willingness to do what is required and expected. That third component is vital for success. In the spiritual realm, nothing is more personal in our lives than our calling from God. God the Father looked into our lives and called us. It is then our personal responsibility to make "our calling and election sure".
