Today’s Message is: “Willpower Day!” Why Not?


“What is leadership willpower? Some will say that one of a leader’s strengths is will power. It depends on their ability to exercise it when true leadership is needed in any given situation. Willpower is a leadership quality that gives more choices when it comes to decision making, creativity, and control over one’s mind and life. Do you have the willpower in your character to lead with purpose and truth?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers sisters here on VFV. Willpower is another great gift to us from our Creator God. The Holy Spirit that lives within the Christian, gives the encouragement to exercise our willpower. We should listen carefully and then resist that which is not good. By exercising that willpower within us brings Great Glory to God himself and honor to us. May you all have a blessed day today and always, as you lead and live by your great willpower.
