SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL LIVING
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
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.
