This wealth map shows which territories have the greatest wealth when Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is compared using currency exchange rates. This indicates international purchasing power - what someone’s money would be worth if they wanted to spend it in another territory. For some their money will gain value when they move - others’ money will lose value. This facilitates the movement of some people, whilst severely limiting that of others. Wealth, as reflected by GDP per person, is highest in Luxembourg, Norway and Switzerland. It is lowest in Ethiopia, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
GDP World – Africa %?
In 2002, 312 thousand patents were granted around the world. More than a third of these were granted in Japan. Just under a third were granted in the United States. Patenting something will allow the owner of the patent to charge others for the usage of an idea or invention. The aim is to reward the creator for their hard work or intelligence. But patents can prevent people from using good ideas because they cannot afford to do so. A quarter of all territories had no new patents in 2002, so will not profit from these in future years as others will.
Patents Granted
In 2002 there were an estimated 172 thousand war deaths worldwide. The majority of territories recorded no war deaths, all deaths shown here occurred in 80 territories. People in the Democratic Republic of the Congo suffered 26% of all war deaths in 2002. Nine territories accounted for 70% of all deaths. Burundi had the highest death rate due to war:

MOSES’ LIFE MISSION AND
HIS FIRST BIG EXCUSE
Exodus 3:11- 4:14
Excuse One: Who am I? (Ex 3:11)
Moses struggled with his identity. He just didn’t feel qualified;
he thought God has picked the wrong leader.
Excuse One: Who am I? (Ex 3:11)
God’s response:It doesn’t matter who you are.
I am with you (Ex 3:12).
Current versus future reality
• Moses concentrate too much on current reality.
• The clearer our current reality and vision, the clearer the gap between them.

"I have walked the long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter;I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that, after climbing a great hill,one only finds that there aremany more hills to climb. I have taken time here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vistathat surrounds me, to lookback on the distance I have come. But I can rest for a moment,for with freedom comes responsibilities,and I dare not linger, for my walk is not yet ended."
Nelson Mandela
So,Is the setting of goals and
visioning Biblical?
Biblical Models of Goal Setting
Creation‘God created the heavens
and the earth…’ ‘By the seventh day, God had finished the work..
Salvation‘the Son of Man must
suffer….he must be killed and after three days rise again.’
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF GOAL SETTING
• Isa 49:4 – I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing.
• Jer 29:11 – God made us to have meaning: “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
• Eph 5:17 – Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.
MORE BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF GOAL SETTING
• Phil 3:13 – I am focusing all my energies this one thing: forgetting the past I look forward to what lies ahead.
• Luke 14:28 - “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?”
• No one builds a house without counting the cost.• Luke 14:28 – “Suppose a king is about to go to
war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with . . . “
Maybe deep down you say: It depends If I really want to get
involved in setting goals
"Attempt to do something so great for God, that it is doomed to failure, unless God be in it.“ (Dr. John E. Haggai)
Two fishes and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fishes and 5 loaves of bread in Jesus' hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.
So put your desires, your tasks, your sub-goals, and your evangelistic goals in God's hands because …
It depends whose hands it's in.
Summary: As you see now it depends whose hands it's in.
PAUL J MEYER
Goal setting is simply writing down your dreams, crystallizing your
thinking and then developing a plan with a deadline for attainment

Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
Summary: 2 Corinthians 5:9-10
• So we make it your GOAL to please to please Him …
• For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Colossians 1:9-11
… asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding … to live a life worthy of the Lord,pleasing Him in every way,bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of Christ,strengthened with all power for great endurance and patience …
Make a difference wherever you go? Be significant –stand out.Mario Denton
Different people have different goals
• A priest came across a group of boys arguing around a dog. What’s going on?’ he asked.
• “ Well,” one of them said, “ we found this dog, and ever one of wants to keep it. So we decided that we should each tell a lie, and the biggest liar will get the dog.”
Different people have different goals
• The priest was shocked. “ Don’t you know that lying is a sin?’
• He launched into as sermon about the ten Commandments, about bearing false witness and lying. He ended by saying, “ You know when I was at your age, I never told a lie.”
Different people have different goals
The boys looked at each other, and held a quick discussion. “okay,
Okay,’ they said, “ You win – you can keep the dog.”
I am not an optimist. I am a prisoner of hope!
