Pastor Sam Adeyemi shares 5 Key Areas your 2020 goals must cover

While so many Christians, even some pastors are still in doubts as to whether it is right or wrong for Christians to set goals, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Center has come out again to the public to express his belief in goal setting. The time, the renowned success coach and expert leadership consultant is not just telling us why we need to set goals but also sharing tips on how to set and achieve or improve on your goals for 2020 irrespective of your outcome in 2019. But of course, what do you expect from a coach with a global audience? As it is just a few days to the start of a new year, the well-respected Pastor took to his Twitter account (@sam_adeyemi) on Monday 23rd of December 2019 to share some wise nuggets for his many followers in preparing them for the year 2020, where he related setting goals to playing football. He tweeted: Review your goals for 2019. Did you achieve them? If yes, celebrate and thank God. If not, why? Then set goals for 2020, to cover your relationships, health, career, finances, spiritual life. Remember, having no goals is like playing football without goal posts. You won’t score. Isn't that just relatable? Of course, many respondents to the tweet easily understood the point established. But as you know, in every class, not every students will understand the teacher's lesson. So also it was with the tweet and there were a few questions posed under the tweet, although many of them are quite similar. As you would expect from a man who has taught leadership for over two decades and understands the value and power of communication as a leader, he chose to respond to one of the replies where the handler, Tony Ojogho (@Denzelsweet) wrote: Thank u sir. Sometimes I set goals and I abandon them. Pls how can I set simple achievable goals. How also can I classify and document them. Thanks Pastor Sam Adeyemi in response to the question answered: I recommend you start with short-term goals and add long-term ones with time. Set goals for a week at a time. Break them into daily goals. Make them few for each day. Write them in your diary, notebook or phone, that you carry around. Review them every morning and take action. Whoever knows Pastor Sam Adeyemi quite well and is acquainted to Daystar Christian would understand that setting goals ahead of the new year has become a doctrine of many years in the church as members of the church are asked to come with their written goals to the new year watch-night service every December 31st. But there's been a controversy about goal setting among Christians, where some believe in setting goals owing to Proverbs 21:5 that says, " Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to Good" while others believe it is a way of limiting God and a waste of time, and owing that to Proverbs 19:21 that says " You can make many plans, but the Lord ’s purpose will prevail" and as well, James 4:13-15 which says, " Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”" The question is which should we believe?
