This Is Not Your Rest (provoking Hunger & Dissatisfaction) by Apostle Joshua Selman: Sermon Notes

Micah 2:10

Isaiah 43:19

Over dwelling on the past(negative and positive) has a consequence on your destiny and your tomorrow.

3 Levels of fear

1. Fear of yesterday: The fear that comes with history, for example, I once tried and I failed.

   Aside fear, it can bring discouragement.

2. Fear of today
3. Fear of tomorrow

The starting point of every destiny is the desire to make progress.

Something happens to men, when they make commendable progress- the passion to press, continue and finish seems to evaporate.

An arrival mentality is cancerous(a mentality that brings you to a point of self sufficiency and complacency)

Both success and failure can be enemies to your progress and destiny

Keys that provoke dissatisfaction and sponsors continuity to a point of completion

1. Vision

   What is vision?

   Vision is a picture of your prophetic definition,

   A picture of God's standard(God's expectation for you)

   Vision helps you to benchmark your progress

   If you do not have a God ordained reference for your life, any standard you attain higher than where you were will be enough for you.
