Discussion summary & scripture references
Under the banner of being humble, we hold back our ambition because we don’t want to appear greedy or self centered. However, your ambition is the engine that powers your success. Without it, you won’t achieve all that God has called you to achieve. Listen to this replay from our live Faith-Discussion to learn the power of your ambition and the anointing associated with it.

[7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Hebrews 12:1 NLT
