God expects that we succeed. Never ever underestimate yourself. Don’t look down on your profession or anything that you are doing. The Lord has blessings for you. Don’t refuse to receive those possibilities of the lord. Believe the promise of God and it will be established in your life in Jesus name.
1. Personal encounter with Jesus
You need Jesus. Without Jesus, you can’t make it. Jesus himself said seek ye first my kingdom and righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you. All other things include your health, finances, future dreams, and goals in life. If God could bless Joseph in the Old Testament, He will bless you who has received the grace into your life. You have to repent and forsake all sins as you respond to Christ’s invitation
2. Total dependence on God
Without God, you cannot achieve anything. Everything you want to achieve depends on God’s grace, enablement, power. David could kill Goliath – a giant and experienced warrior because he was dependent on God. How could a young man kill a warrior from his youth? because he depended on the unfailing promise and sufficiency of God. Human strength will fail. Occultic, sorcery and witchery are transient but will fail woefully with time.
3. Discipline and self-control
Don’t be swollen-headed. Don’t be making excuses with the opposite sex and sleeping with the girls. Frank speaking, a young boy or girl who follows his or her libido more than vision has no direction in life and going nowhere with their lives. Bring your body under control. Control what you watch, touch, hear and taste. Make sure you do the right thing at the right time. Don’t substitute your precious time with Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. because you have work to do to improve your life and become successful.
4. Diligence
Proverbs 22:29. Seeth thou a man diligent at his business, he shall stand before Kings, he shall not stand before mean men. God has endowed everyone with a unique powerful system. It is the brain. The brain is made up of more than 6 billion cells. If we should combine all the microcomputers across the world, its power or bite cannot be compared with the human brain. Research confirms that Solomon could not employee even up to 17% of his brain. Even Solomon who was regarded as the wisest and a strategic man could not employ about more than 17% of his brain. Have you also heard about inventors like Henry Ford, Faraday, Thomas Edison. They couldn’t even use about 20% of their brain. If you can use your brain, you will succeed in Jesus name.
5. Determination to succeed
Daniel and his friends were resolute. Although they were challenged, they did not bow. No wonder they were 10 times better than all their contemporary. Be determined and relegate all excuses to the background and be determined to get where you want to be. If you can pray, money will not be a reason you cannot further your education.
6. Constant Communion with God in prayer
If you are not praying you are missing a lot. All the people that you read in the scriptures and in our contemporary times, they were prayerful. They presented their concerns onto the Lord. Of course all those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and they shall mount up with wings like eagles.
7. Give yourself to studying
Give yourself to reading and meditation. You begin to die the day you stop reading. Information is fuel for purpose accomplishment. Timothy was advised to study to show himself approved unto God. If someone who is at 82 years is able to study and do all these things, how much more you and I who are not even half of his age?
