Motivation can be defined as an inner drive or reason that prompts a person to act in a certain way. Successful motivation involves getting people to willingly do what is wanted, when it is wanted, and in the desired way, because they want to do it. Motivation comes through divine inspiration, a clear understanding of God's timing and purpose, faith that God rewards those who seek him, a desire to please God and achieve his vision, clear goals, a desire for recognition and reward, and modeling strong examples of faith and leadership.
