TOPIC: Position Yourself For Success

MEMORISE: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8

READ: Proverbs 22:29
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

MESSAGE:

Success is a beautiful thing that comes to those who prepare for it. When you see a successful man, you may be tempted to speak ill about him but if you don’t know the process he went through, be quiet. I see young ones trying to identify with successful people by taking selfies with them to post on Instagram. They are oblivious of the fact that it cannot make them successful. For you to succeed, you must position yourself for it through hard work and determination.

What has worked for me over the years is that I write my vision-stating my goals for each month of the year, the mission (the reason each goal was developed) and strategies on how to achieve them.

Beyond physical efforts, I achieve my goals because I put God at the centre of them all. God is my Boss; He is the One who put those visions in my heart and once I add the effort, time and resources, success is achieved. I can never fail because my trust is in Him. Beloved, cooperate with God and watch Him bring your plans to manifestation.

PRAYER POINT: Father, please open my eyes to what will make me successful in Jesus’ name.
