What makes people/institution not to last

Your passion to last must be more than passion to be known.
Solution; in all your ways acknowledge HIM

_Arrival Mentality
1st Corinth 2;
Always learning.
The school of life is a place where you are only admitted but never graduate.
Nobody claps for you twice for the same results.
Today's excellence will be tomorrow's mediocrity

-Distractions and compromises
You must press! Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
First Area; Getting into areas beyond your scope. (Ephe 4:7)
You are only a king within your kingdom. You can veer off temporary 
The second area is not protecting our focus and pursuits

Any weakness unaddressed will destroy you

To last you will need;
_Prophetic intercession
_System of accountability
_Godly Friends

Should we plan?

Luke 14:28; count the cost...plan adequately for the things you want to do.
