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.
