PREPARATION FOR SUCCESS
Everyone want to succeed in life pursuit, our focus and concerns are more on the goal that we set out to achieve and so anything less than what we want is not welcome and is seen as distraction and obstacle standing on our way. But the real obstacles are not really what we think. Success is never a mistake it is what we worked for and thereby deserve. The Bible tells us that Gods desire for us is that we prosper and be in good health, 3rd john 2. Success is Gods wish for us but the doings is in our hands although He empowered us for it.
This is not to tell us “how” to succeed or to give us “steps” to success, for a farmer to eat corn he must first plant it and wait patiently for the harvest before he can eat corn, but before the planting of the corn there was a preparation. There are lots of messages on how and steps to success but nobody is talking about the preparation. There is journey for success and there is preparation for the journey although they are all part of the journey.
Here are some preparations for success
- OVERCOMING THE ENEMIES BEHIND. We are often encouraged to forget about things behind us, but sometimes not all things behind us we need to forget about, some need to be taking care of for good else it will come back hunting us. There are so many successful people that were brought down by their past.
- PROVE YOURSELF FIRST. You have to be tested and proven whether you can handle the level of success you are hopping. Success can be destructive if you are not prepared to handle it.
- BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. It is better you know God better in your down times, those who already have all they wanted in live don’t have the interest in knowing God and are too proud of their achievement to believe in God.
- EQUIP YOURSELF TO OVERCOMING CHALLENGES THAT FOLLOWS SUCCESS. Roses have thorns too, success is not all that roses, there are challenges that follows it, there are battles, competitions that needs to be fought and met.
- SHIFT YOUR MIND FROM FAILURE TO SUCCESS. You can’t just dive into success overnight, there has to be a mind shift to accommodation what is coming. No success can not last if you embrace it with pour mindset.
- CONCQUERING YOUR TERETORY. There is no vacancy in the land of success you have to fight to claim your space, fight to maintain it.
