THE 4 SIMPLE KEYS

You can please man and not please God, But if you decide to please God, you will automatically please men. Seeking the ways of God enables you to have depth knowledge and wisdom about all things in this world because of the power of the Holy Spirit that works in you as a Christian. (proverbs 3:6)

This article will boost your confidence in achieving every little thing you put before you, and I promise you that every dream you have is already achieved after reading this article.

Success doesn’t only mean becoming financially rich, famous, having good number of mansions and cars or simply becoming wealthy.

 The word success simply means the progressive realization of predetermined goals stabilized with balance and purified by belief. That is, being able achieve any set goal or target whether big or small.

 STEPS TO ACHIEVING SUCCESS

 

THE 4 SIMPLE KEYS

1.     HAVE A GOAL

Anyone who wants to be successful needs to have a vision, target or a set goal to achieve relating to a specific area of life where the individual is looking forward to be successful, be it physical, social or spiritual. Succeeding physically is when you look at maintaining good health and living a healthy life style. Socially is when you look at attaining higher heights in your profession, getting married, schooling/having a master degree, getting a well paid job, owning houses, owning cars, etc while spiritually means knowing God very well, serving him right and maturing spiritually as a Christian. You need to give yourself time to bring such achievements to come to birth in your life. So you must give yourself a particular time in the future or soon by which you must see such achievements in your life. Remember goals can be long-term or short-term, big or small. This helps you to monitor and check your life daily to see whether you are doing things that will get you to the goal that you have set ahead or not. Having a goal helps you to have a special drive towards your great dreams in life. A goal serves as an engine to move you to the land of your dreams. Setting goals help to keep focus, determination, hope and faith alive which are the important factors to get you to your successful moments. You must have a vision to control and shape you towards your dreams so that you don’t go astray from achieving your dreams. Because where there is no vision the people perish.

(proverbs 29:18)

2.     PREPARE YOURSELF TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL

Everything you want to become in life needs to be prepared for. Things don’t just happen you are n. It takes a viable seed to bear fruits. So ask yourself questions to check whether you are viable to bear the kind of fruits you want to see in your life. But no worries at all if you are not viable, because you can still become viable through mentoring, understanding your potentials and knowing your strengths and your weaknesses.

To achieve your set goals and targets you need to prepare yourself. You must research, read books and learn intensively about whatever you want to be successful in. Whether you want to be successful financially, in your performance in a career or in an occupational increase, you need to constantly prepare yourself by researching more and learning about that area to make you have a feel of what it is to be called a successful such area. You need to visualize your goals and feel as if you have already conquered these goals because what you see or hear always is what you will become. It is just a matter of time. Start working on your goals as soon as possible. Give yourself small targets even though the bigger picture or bigger target is still the main focus. For example, if you want to build a house in the next four yours you need to get series of times within the four years where certain operations will be taking place. Lets say ; you should get a location - by two months, purchase the land – by one year, get materials by one year and two months, build foundation by two years, brick laying and final elevation by three years, painting by three years and three months, furnishing the entire house by three years and six months. So you can now tell that by four years time your dream of building a house will be successfully achieved through effective targeting and proper preparation without much pressure. Targeting helps you to know what financial preparation you need to make and at what particular time you need to take certain actions. During your preparation connect to the Holy Spirit through tongues speaking and He shall lift up your vision.

3.     MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH

It does not matter how intelligent or brilliant you are. It does not matter how ready you are to achieve your goals. Sickness, disease or illness can cause a halt to all efforts and processes you are engaging yourself in to achieve your dreams. A deficiency in your health can cause a decrease in your output concerning everything you do in life socially, spiritually and physically. Poor health conditions can cause a decrease in your ability to think creatively, be punctual to duty calls, have complete focus on set targets, perform operational tasks with adequate energy. So you need to be maintain good health in your body because that’s your source of energy to achieve all the dreams of your life. Your physical well being is very much important because in your actions to reach your goal you need to talk, walk and relate with many other people who might be co-players in your efforts to achieve your dreams. You can maintain good health by regular exercising your body, eating healthy food and having enough rest. This helps your mind and body to refresh itself regularly. ( JOHN 3:1-12)

4.     THE GOD FACTOR 

Don't let this discourage you. Our Lord did not tell us to give up all the pleasures of the world. He merely told us that there were higher, better things that would last forever, and things that make worldly success seem trivial. Jesus proved this at the beginning of his earthly ministry, when he was tempted to make himself a worldly success. (Matthew 4:1, 8-10)

God is not against success but he promised us that if we take care of our souls for eternity, he will add all other things to it. (Matthew 6:33)

So all you need to do is to do the work of God and trust in him that he will fulfill his promise in the Holy Scriptures.

Also God is not against circular work. The rhema I caught in this scripture is that when we follow the earthly blessings so much we lose focus on the heavenly blessings and He being the creator His purpose for us his to work out our salvation and make His kingdom be seen on earth.

He said in Deuteronomy 2:7 that “Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.”

So when you give reverence to God, trust in him, obey him and give back to him in terms of tithes and offerings, He shall bless you financially and in all things.

Remember to always pray and commit your visions into the hands of God asking for wisdom, good health and also asking that He should lead you in all your endeavors to achieve success in all things. Pray more in tongues and the Holy spirit shall lift up your visions and you will see it in your life soon.

N/B: Jesus Christ in your life is very much important factor to make all this principles work for you. All you need to do is to believe in him, accept him as your Lord and personal savior confessing with your mouth that he came to live on earth and died to save you from all your sins and the power of death.This will birth you into the kIngdom of God and you will be called the child of God. God richly bless you.

DID YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU BELIEVED (JESUS AND THE TRINITY) 


<Acts 19:1-3>
"And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples he said to them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?' So they said to him, 'We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.' And he said to them, 'Into what then were you baptized?' So they said, 'Into John's baptism.'"

Why does the Bible say, "From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force?"

Because people can take the Kingdom of Heaven by the faith in the beautiful gospel that says that Jesus blotted out all the sins of the world through His baptism by John and His blood on the Cross.

What kind of gospel did Paul preach? He preached the gospel of Jesus' baptism and His blood. Acts 19:1 says, "And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples he said to them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?'" However, these people believed in Jesus while leaving out the meaning of Jesus' baptism. They didn't know the beautiful gospel that leads to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. That is why Paul's question, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" was a very unfamiliar question to some disciples at Ephesus. Other people would have asked them, "Did you believe in Jesus?" But Paul asked the question in this extraordinary way so that they could receive the Holy Spirit by renewing their faith in the beautiful gospel. Paul's ministry was to preach the beautiful gospel of Jesus' baptism and His blood. Paul, Peter and John also testified to Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.
Let's take a look at the apostles' testimony to the gospel of baptism. First Paul testified, "Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?" (Romans 6:2-3) and "For as many of you as were baptized in to Christ have put on Christ" (Galatians 3:27).
The apostle Peter also testified to the gospel of Jesus' baptism in 1 Peter 3:21, saying, "There is also an antitype which now saves us - baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him."
John the Apostle also testified to this beautiful gospel in 1 John 5:5-8. "Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He who came by water and blood - Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one."
John the Baptist played a crucial role in completing the beautiful gospel. The Bible says the following about John the Baptist in Malachi 3:1-3 and Matthew 11:10-11. John the Baptist was the representative of mankind and he was the prophesied Elijah to come, as written in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, a sin offering was killed to shed its blood after taking away the sins of a man by the laying on of his hands. In the New Testament, however, Jesus was the sin offering who took away all the sins of the world through His baptism and died on the Cross to pay the wages of sin. Jesus saved mankind because John the Baptist passed all the sins of the world on to Him through the baptism in the Jordan River.
God planned two kinds of great deeds in order to save mankind from their sins and He fulfilled them all. The first was to have Jesus come into this world through the body of the virgin Mary, and to have Him baptized and crucified to take away all the sins of the world. The second was to have John the Baptist born through Elizabeth. God caused these two events to occur in order to save mankind from their sins. This was the work planned by God in the Trinity. God sent John the Baptist into this world six months prior to Jesus, then sent Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, into this world to free mankind from judgment for their sins.
Jesus bore witness to John the Baptist in Matthew 11:9. "But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet." Furthermore, when John the Baptist, who passed all the sins of the world on to Jesus, saw Him the next day, he bore witness by saying, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)
The Bible has many records of John, who baptized Jesus, and we should strive to gain better knowledge of him. John the Baptist came into the world before Jesus. His role was to fulfill the beautiful gospel, which was God's plan. The Bible says that Jesus accepted all the sins of the world from John and that John passed them on to Him to fulfill God's will.
We call him John the Baptist because he baptized Jesus. What meaning does the baptism of Jesus by John really have? The word "baptism" implies "to be washed." Since all the sins of the world were transferred to Jesus through His baptism, they have been washed away. Jesus' baptism had the same meaning as "the laying on of hands" that the sin offering received in the Old Testament. The spiritual meaning of baptism is "to pass on to," "to be washed" or "to be buried." Jesus' baptism by John was an act of redemption to take away the sins of all the people in the world.
Jesus' baptism has the same significance as the laying on of hands, which was the method of passing sins on to the sin offering in the Old Testament. In other words, the people of Israel passed their yearly sins on to the sin offering on the Day of Atonement through the laying hands on of the high priest. This sacrifice in the Old Testament had the same function as Jesus' baptism and His death on the Cross.
God appointed the Day of Atonement as the time to take away the sins of the Israelites. On the tenth day of the seventh month, the high priest passed all the yearly sins of the people onto the head of the sin offering by laying his hands on the sacrifice to atone for the sins of the people. This was the sacrificial system that God established. It was the only way to pass the sins of the people on to the sin offering, and transferring the sin by the laying on of hands was the everlasting law that God had established.
"Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgression, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness" (Leviticus 16:21-22).
In the Old Testament, a sinner laid his hands on the head of a sin offering and passed his sins on to it in order to be forgiven. And on the Day of Atonement, Aaron the high priest, as the representative of all Israelites, laid his hands on the head of the sacrifice to pass on the sins of Israel. Then the offering was killed after it took on their sins.
It has the same spiritual meaning as the baptism (Baptisma in Greek means "to be washed, to be buried, to pass") that Jesus received from John in the New Testament. Just as the high priest in the Old Testament laid his hands on the sin offering to pass on the sins of the people of Israel, so all the sins of humanity were passed on to Jesus through His baptism by John the Baptist. Jesus then died on the Cross to atone for our sins. This is the beautiful gospel of truth.
Just as Aaron the high priest offered the sacrifice for atonement in place of the people of Israel, John the Baptist, one of the descendants of Aaron, carried out the task as the representative of mankind by baptizing Jesus, and thereby passing all the sins of mankind on to Him. God described such a wonderful plan of His love in the Bible as follows in Psalms 50:4-5, "He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people: Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." Amen, Hallelujah.
History of the Church said that there was no Christmas for the first two centuries in the early church. The early church Christians along with Jesus' Apostles had only commemorated January 6th as "the Day of Jesus' Baptism" at the Jordan by John the Baptist. Why did they lay such a great emphasis on Jesus' baptism in their beliefs? The answer is the very key to the Christianity of Apostolic tradition. But I hope for you not to be confused with the water baptism of believers and the Baptism of Jesus.
The baptism of believers as it exists today has a very different meaning from the baptism Jesus received from John. Therefore, we should all have the same faith as Jesus' disciples if we want to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We should all receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by believing in Jesus Christ's baptism, which He received from John, and in His blood on the Cross.
If the early church thought of baptism as an extremely important ritual, it was due to their pivotal faith in Jesus' baptism, and we should nowadays also consider Jesus' baptism by John as indispensable component to our salvation. Furthermore, we must reach and keep the right faith of perfect knowledge, which says that Jesus had to be crucified due to His baptism by John. We should bear in mind that the Holy Spirit begins to dwell in us when we believe that Jesus was baptized, died on the Cross and was resurrected to become our Savior. Jesus' baptism by John and His blood on the Cross has such a special meaning in the beautiful gospel.
The fail-safe way for us to receive the Holy Spirit is to believe in the beautiful gospel of Jesus' baptism and blood. Jesus' baptism cleansed all the sins of mankind at once. It was the baptism of redemption that leads us to receive the Holy Spirit. Since some people don't realize the power of Jesus' baptism, they understand it as mere ceremony.
Jesus' baptism forms part of the beautiful gospel, which tells of how He took away all the sins of the world and accepted the judgment for them by shedding blood on the Cross. Anyone who believes in the words of this beautiful gospel becomes a member of the church, which is a possession of the Lord, and enjoys the blessings of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God to those who have been forgiven for their sins.
With His baptism, Jesus became "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" well enough (John 1:29). In John 1:6-7 it says, "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe." In order to believe in Jesus as our Savior, who took away all our sins, we must understand John's ministry and testimony as it is written in the Bible. Then we will be able to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior. In order to receive the Holy Spirit, we also need our strong faith heartened by his testimony. Therefore, to complete the beautiful gospel of truth, we must believe in Jesus' baptism by John and in His blood on the Cross.
In Matthew 11:12 it is written that, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." This passage is known as one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. However we have to pay attention to the phrase "from the day of John the Baptist." It surely proclaims that the ministry of John was directly connected with Jesus' ministry for our salvation.
Jesus wants us to enter the Kingdom by bold faith, as bold as violent men. We sin every day, we are fragile but He permits us to enter His Kingdom by the daring faith regardless of our wickedness. So this passage means that people can take the kingdom of heaven by the faith in the beautiful gospel that says that Jesus blotted out all the sins of the world through His baptism by John and His blood on the Cross. In other words, it means that Heaven can be taken through the bold faith in this beautiful gospel of Jesus' baptism and blood.
Jesus' baptism took away all our sins, and our faith in it guarantees that we will receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We must preach this gospel to our neighbors, relatives, acquaintances, and to everyone else in the world. We must have faith in the beautiful gospel that says that the sins of the world were transferred to Jesus through His baptism. Through our faith we will obtain the bliss of redemption and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

UNCHANGEABLE CIRCUMSTANCES

ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE ?

5 WAYS  THAT PRAYING IN TONGUES WILL GROW YOUR SPIRIT AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE

One of the most controversial and, sadly, most misunderstood gifts of the Holy Spirit is praying in tongues. I am convinced that there is so much antagonism aimed at this gift because of the incredible power it releases into our lives. In the same way that many reject the prophetic ministry because of abuses,attacks,etc
Tongues Is a Controversial Subject That Requires Our Attention
At the end of the day, we need to be honest with ourselves and honest with the biblical text. This unique gift of the Holy Spirit actually announced the birth of Christianity on the Day of Pentecost. It was highly prized by the man who wrote the majority of the New Testament (Paul). It equips believers to communicate with God on a unique level and empowers us to effectively live the supernatural life. In short, it would make a lot of sense that the enemy would tirelessly fight against something that has such strong potential to pillage his expansion of darkness in our lives and on the earth.
.
Speaking in Tongues Is More Than a One-Time Experience
The Glory Within makes the powerful point that tongues is not some spiritual merit badge we receive when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit, use it for a season, and then put it out to pasture. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke comments on the gifts of the Spirit, emphasizing that “they are not badges of honor but tools for the job.” The gift of tongues is something that the apostle Paul deeply cherished, and he provided nearly an entire chapter of instruction on it in 1 Corinthians 14. This is not a call to place an inappropriate emphasis on tongues, as many have done in the past; it is, however, an invitation to re-evaluate where we stand on its purpose, relevance and present-day power in our everyday Christian lives.

5 Ways Praying in Tongues Will Change Your Life Forever
Based on  here are five ways that praying in tongues will change your life forever
.
1. Praying in Tongues Gives You Supernatural Understanding of God’s Mysteries
"For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries" (1 Cor. 14:2, NKJV).
Corey describes the Holy Spirit as the Google, or “search engine of heaven.” God is mysterious, yes, but the Spirit who knows everything about the mysterious, expansive, glorious God is the same Spirit who lives inside of you! And furthermore, He wants to reveal mysteries to you about God, His will, your life and the circumstances you are facing.
How do we access this revelation? Communion with the Holy Spirit on His level—in His language. Remember, Paul defines Holy Spirit as the One who “searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets” (1 Cor. 2:10, NLT). As you pray in the Spirit, you will discover things that were previously mysterious and unknown will start coming into greater focus and clarity.

2. Praying in Tongues Grants You Access to Other Revelatory Gifts of the Holy Spirit
"For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit ... to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues" (1 Cor. 12: 8, 10, NKJV).
Praying in tongues actually unlocks other revelatory gifts of the Holy Spirit in your life, namely the word of wisdom, word of knowledge, prophecy and discerning of spirits. Remember, you are not praying on a natural dimension, but rather engaging on a purely spiritual one. Don’t be surprised if, while praying in tongues, the Holy Spirit gives you supernatural insight about something, leads you to pray for people and unlocks clarity over people, situations and even regions, enabling you to effectively pray for and break off the spiritual strongholds that are influencing them.

3. Praying in Tongues Opens Up the Bible in a New, Living Way as You Read It
"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak" (John 16:13).
For some modern believers, reading the Bible can feel like a life-draining experience. It’s not just history. It is not a mere record of facts. Scripture isn’t just stories. The same Holy Spirit who inspired the writing and assembly of the Holy Scriptures lives inside of you. He wants to guide you through the Bible, make the words jump off the page, give you understanding on confusing matters, empower you to apply God’s Word to your everyday life, share prophetic promises with you and help you discover your role in God’s unfolding story. Corey describes praying in tongues as a way the Holy Spirit “shines a flashlight on Scripture.”

4. When Praying in Tongues, You Are Speaking Directly to God
"For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God" (1 Cor. 14:2).
As you pray in tongues, you have a direct line to the president of the universe. Sometimes while praying in our native languages, we have the tendency to veer off and get distracted. We may start complaining. We may start going through the routine laundry list of prayer requests—and by the time we are finished reading them off to God, we feel more burdened than refreshed (because we actively thought of every single one of those circumstances as we listed them off in prayer). Tongues keeps us talking directly to God, praying in agreement with His perfect will (Rom. 8:26-28).

5. Praying in Tongues Empowers You to Engage Spiritual Warfare From the Position of Victory
"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" (Eph. 6:18).
Praying in tongues is not some magic formula that guarantees us some free and easy lifestyle of health, wealth, prosperity and all of those fixings. Jesus assured us that in this life, we will experience tribulation (John 16:33). In the same passage, the same Jesus declared that He has overcome the world. Victory has already been secured at Calvary.
In times of trial and assault, it is easy for us to become weary in the place of prayer, often not knowing what or how to pray. Praise God for the Holy Spirit! Paul reminds us "for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us" (Rom. 8:26). When in the heat of spiritual combat, it is easy to start praying prayers that agree with the size of the attack, emphasizing the problem rather than focusing on the size of the blood-bought victory that Jesus purchased at the cross. Praying in tongues empowers you to agree with God’s victorious battle plan for your life and your circumstances, no matter what is going on around you. It does not deny reality; it simply positions you to agree with the higher truth of Scripture: Victory has been purchased, and it is yours through Jesus Christ


Like you know and I believe you have heard before, practice makes man perfect truly. You can grow your tongues speaking by beginning with speaking tongues 5minutes a day to an hour a day.
Know that whatever you do continues for 21days automatically becomes your habit.The Holy Spirit is living in you waiting for you to use him to the fullest. He will strengthen you always
Bless you so much for reading. Your life will never be the same again.
