PILLARS OF SUCCESS

Success has four pillars just like a chair with four legs.

1.PURPOSE

2.INFORMATION

3.CHARACTER

4.DILIGENCE

PURPOSE- Living without an assignment is living in asylum.Living without a mission or purpose is miserable and risky.It is your work that enhances your worth. Every accomplishment begins with a clearly defined goal. By discovering purpose and dint of hard work any Jack can be a success.

God has a plan for you and it must be discovered by you Jeremiah 1v5, Jeremiah 29v11-13, Galatians 1v15. You’ve got to search yourself out of His word. Life without a purpose is destiny imprisoned.

DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE

Go to God and inquire of your purpose from Him because He created you and with a purpose did create you.Your purpose will always be established in the scripture, Habakkuk 2v1, Jeremiah 1v5.

Your gifts, talents or natural endowments are pointers to the purpose of God for your life. Gifting and callings are of equal value because they serve one another. When you are not certain of your calling, look out for your area of gifting. Hence, grace is the backing for your calling.

7Ps OF PURPOSE

VIRTUES OF PURPOSE

Things that must be put in place

Choice- Man is essentially a creature of choice and that nature is not withdrawn at new birth, Deuteronomy 30v8.God does not take all responsibilities but shares them with you to help you achieve your vision.Take advantage of God’s involvement to succeed.

Desire- What you don’t desire you don’t deserve.It is a craving of the heart with your healthy spirit in tune with the Holy Spirit; you can always catch the signal of God’s leading, Psalms 37v4, Proverbs 18v1.

Expectations- God is committed to your expectations, He’s promised that your expectations shall not be cut short, Psalms 9v18. In other words your expectations can only be boosted not cut short so as not look as if Heaven is short of supplies.We need to re-orientate our lives to become positive in our expectations; be hopeful because what you don’t expect you don’t get and when purpose is well defined, expectations are triggered, Proverbs 23v18.

Imaginations- This is the act of mental image formation which is eventually printed in real life for you, Genesis 11v6. The place of your imagination is where you give form to your world. In other words the life you live today is a result of the shape you gave your life through imaging or imagination.

Determination- You can’t afford to start and look back, Luke 9v62, Isaiah50v7, and John 9v4.

Concentration- Matthew 6v22 says that the singleness of your eyes is what determines the lightning your life will experience; be focused and never take your eyes of Jesus, Matthew 14v30. You cannot carry your cross and still be able to look in too many directions but forward so, bear your cross.

Tomorrow I will continue with the pillars upon which good success if built. God bless you.
