~A Key To Success~

Back in 1970, I was attending a Church revival where the preacher was speaking on success from God's point of view. As he began to talk I began to write. The preacher  began to give the definition of success from a biblical stand-point and I began to write like a thirsty Camel drinking water.

I memorized the definitions in 1973 because the definition caught my attention and got my mind and heart pumping for this knowledge.

 This is what I remember the definition of success is, as a believer in Christ:

• Success is having all that you need and the capacity to enjoy it.
• It is the ability to get God into action at the point of your needs.

There are so many stories in The Bible that prove the definitions above are truly God's will for each of us.

Now, if you and I can get God to move on our behalf at the point of our needs, then we are far more richer than Bill Gates or Warren Buffett could ever be. Why? Because The God who made Heaven and Earth, who knew you and I before we were ever conceived and protected us once we were conceived and growing inside our mother's womb is working on your (my) behalf and at the very point of our needs. That makes you and I very RICH.

Listen to this: This is the same God who took you and I out of our mother's womb; made us trust while on our mother's breasts. We were cast upon Him (God) from birth. From our mother's womb He has been our God and has never been far from us.

I just describe God to you. Please read it again, because He has our best interest at heart and you and I were destined to be successful. You must believe that. We were not created to for failure.

Tell that to your children, spouses, friends, to yourself, ETC.

Moving forward: This is what I believe about you; I believe that you are great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly there's something that is within you, there's power within you, that's greater than the world. This power will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you allow. Now, that's what I know for sure.

This something within you, you cannot always explain, but there is an inner drive that continues to draw and pull and push the greatness out of you.

That something is the very Spirit of The Living God, that we must learn to trust totally.

Along with that:

I advise you of this, stop sharing your dreams and goals with people who try to hold you back, even if they're your parents, siblings or so called friends. Note: Always make sure your friend is your friend.

If you are the kind of person who sense's there is something out there for you, beyond whatever it is you are expected to do - if you want to be Extra-ordinary  - you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you, you're not extraordinary or this or that is out of your reach.  If you listen to them, you probably will become as ordinary as they expect you to be. 

Hang around positive people, people who encourages you, have your best interest at heart and is not afraid to speak truth to you whether you like it or not or want to hear it or not. Associate with people that speak health, wealth, positiveness, prosperity into your life. That will have your back and stand by you even when you are wrong, but never condone your wrong, yet will still encourage you to strive to do what is right.

Lastly, before success comes in any man's or woman's life, he or she is sure to meet with temporary obstacles and perhaps some failures. When obstacles or failures enters a man or a woman's life the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit.

Quitting is what many men and women do when obstacles, defeat or failures come their way. But remember, the darkest time of the day is just before daybreak. And, many times success comes one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken you. In other words, along with success comes perseverance and determination.  So, take the next step anyway.

This is the bottom line and its just this cut and dry ... Trust God, Trust God and continue to Trust God. Depend on Him in every situation. His Spirit, His Holy Spirit is that something within you, but only if you allow Him to enter into your hearts and take full control, as you surrender all of you!!!

True Success awaits you. This writing is not meant to sound good, interesting etc. It was written for you to take charge of your life, by surrendering to Him. After all, He sent His Son so that you and I can have true success while we are in life. This is true success.

Read The Book of Joshua chapter 1 verse 8.
