1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"- NIV

The apostle Paul was showing the Corinthians the possibilities of what God can accomplish to those that love Him. It will be safe to assume at the moment that Paul was referring to our potential in God’s hands. That is, significant impact occurs when we are connected to God as the Source of everything. For a moment, let’s understand these two words separately: “Significant” is described as to make known something while the word “Impact” is described as the single instantaneous stroke of a body in motion against another either in motion or at rest. Bringing them together speaks of making known something with a single instantaneous stroke or force. And this is what exactly we want to experience in 2010. In order for significant impact to happen, we must begin to receive it with wholehearted faith that it will truly manifest without doubt and apprehension. The first thing that we need to have is a renewed purpose and not to be moved by different attractions and distractions. Secondly, we need to get a redirected perspective. An illustration from the book “God can make it happen,” “When Goliath came against the Israelites, the soldiers all thought, "He's so big we can never kill him." David looked at the same giant and thought, "He's so big I can't miss." Would we see things with an optimistic perspective? Thirdly, there should be realistic progress as 2 Peter 3:18 states, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…” (NIV) (more)
