The
holiday season is officially over and everyone is gradually heading back to
their schools or workstations as the case may be. Indeed last year was a
wonderful year for me. I recorded so many milestones in 2012 all to the glory
of God. Thanking God for last year with full assurance that this year 2013 will
even turnout much better than the former. This is our year of “Double Portion.” Your own
package will not elude you in Jesus name!
To
begin this year, I’ll love to share with you an article I wrote some years ago,
precisely 2009. This word still sounds fresh and what better way to start the New
Year than to share with you this great piece on “Success”. As we read and diligently
apply the outlined principles this year, “Success” will be our second name.
Please read, comment
and share with all your friends and loved ones.
INTRODUCTION
Success can be defined as the satisfactory realization of a
set objective or a given goal. We all have equal opportunities to succeed but
yet not we all attain success.
In
this article, we will be exploring some secrets of success that is rooted in
God’s word. It’s my prayer that whoever reads this article and put it into
action, will know no failure in life again! You shall succeed!
INFORMATION
Success can only be attained by the level of what you know.
In the Bible it is written that “My people suffer for lack of knowledge.” The greatest
problem facing man today is ignorance and not the devil. The devil only takes
advantage to the degree of our ignorance.
According to Dr. David Oyedepo; “Leaders are readers and
all committed readers are potential leaders. You are either building a library
or a mortuary of glory. The value of your knowledge determines your class in
destiny.”
REVELATION
To reveal means to bring into the open what has been
hitherto hidden. Revelation brings about a revolution [turnaround]. Revelation defines
the limit of destiny. Through revelation God introduces his thoughts into the
human mind. It takes us from the level of information to a higher level of
understanding.
God
is the source of revelation. The only way we can get revelation is to spend
quality time with God, through prayers and studying the bible always. According
to Dr. David Oyedepo; “The Bible is not just a spiritual book, it is a manual
of life.”
ASSOCIATION
It is important to consciously move towards people who have
already become what we desire to be in life.
It makes success come quicker than it would have come if we had to do it
on our own. There is need for us to have a mentor. In whatever line or career
we are in, we need to have a mentor along that line, who we ask questions. The answers
we get can change our lives forever
Our relationships in life will either make or break us. We need
to choose friends and associates that will assist us in fulfilling our vision,
not those who will derail us from its pursuit. It is said that “He who walks
with the wise will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
CONCLUSION
Dr. Myles Munroe once said; “All you know is all you have
learned, but all you know is not all there’s to learn.” The bible also says; “Let
him that thinks that he knows know that he does not know as he ought to know.”
If we take all this principles with all diligence, then we
should be sure of soaring on high altitudes of success.
This year 2013 is your
year. See you at the top.
