SUCCESS

-

Proverbs 16:9

A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.


How do we get success?


We discover our pathway with God, then allow the Holy Spirit lead us all the way . . .


then . . .


1Thessalonians 4:11-12

that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.


We sometimes make the mistake of involving ourselves with what we should have no business with, wasting valuable time that should be invested in our business, calling and interests.


You find out that you are behind and those who have invested wisely are ahead.


While others are reading, doing assignments, making research at school, what are you doing? Do not be surprised when they make great grades.


When others have started saving and investing early while you are still partying and being wasteful, do not be surprised when they are financially free while you are beggarly or waiting for a meagre income.


While others are studying the word, being discipled, spending time in prayers and even fasting while you are laying about and playing around with sin, don't be surprised when they are champions being used by God one way or the other and you feel little, abandoned or now the one running here and there looking for pastors or prophets. Who will fleece you of the little you have.


So when is the right time to start?


Yesterday.


But when do I start?


Now!


Begin today. . . The road to success is not a smooth highway, learn when to slow down, speed up and even when to park and rest awhile, but in all,


. . . keep progressing.


With the destinations in mind.


Do you know that your greatness is tied to tough decisions you have to make?


Challenges surely would come, but keep your mind focused on the goal. The footballer with the ball all the way from the midfield would surely meet other attackers, midfielders and defenders as he journeys towards the goalpost. He must fix his mind on the goal if he must score. Even if he doesn't score the first try, he should keep trying using different tactics and methods, he should surely score and by favour again and again.


Proverbs 24:10

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.


Go on, it may look enormous at the start but as you take it part by part you will surmount them.


I see you ending the year accomplished.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER:

Loving Father, thank you for making me a winner. It is my nature and my character. I am a winner. I resist any form of mediocrity. I SUCCEED. Halleluyah. Glory to God forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta...

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same...
