SUCCESS IN QUESTION


Everyone wishes to be successful come what may. Some are not concerned about the means by which their success is achieved. Be it legal or legit or illegal, dubious, and evil. Not even the welfare of others is taken into consideration as they seek to progress in their various fields of endeavor. Why would you want to be successful if it will only benefit your selfish interest and not the people around you? God blesses us not because of our interest but for the interest of all around us else, that blessing becomes useless.
As we strive so hard to attain success, let us try as much as possible to lay behind a remarkable legacy that will set us apart from the crowd. The desire to be successful is not a bad feeling but the way that success is attained is the problem.  Success is supposed to bring fulfillment, integrity, dignity, self-respect, and happiness.  Gaining it through dubious means only comes to accomplish the opposite of the stated values.
Success can be achieved without the use of dubious means. Let’s bring into limelight the attitude of great historians who lived and made a great impact on the earth without indulging in evil practices. Taking into consideration the life of the highly praised Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, Nelson Mandela, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Professor Mahatma Gandhi, and many other heroes in history, they never had anything to do with evil practices. This is the difference we must seek to emulate as we strive to attain the height of success. We may not be celebrated widely as the above mentioned but deep within our hearts, we are going to feel fulfilled.

EVERYONE IS BORN POWERFUL

Knowledge is not power. Knowledge is having the potential to be powerful if put into action. Imagine having knowledge of the fact that if you indiscriminately litter the environment, it will pose health dangers or hazards but you still go ahead to litter the environment for humanity to face the consequences of your actions. What power is in that knowledge as you haven't applied it rightly. That knowledge only becomes power when applied rightly to prevent the health hazards humans might suffer from due to indiscriminate littering. That is wisdom. Wisdom is the right application of knowledge in the right situation to produce the right result. This brings us to the fact that our knowledge, talents, and abilities are having the potential to make us influential, relevant, and powerful if only we use them rightly. God created you with a talent imbedded in you but you keep on blaming others for your failure. Have you sat down to analyze how you have been wasting the talent, ability, i...

Give yourself away!

something magnanimously happens when you give yourself wholly away while worshipping God is a spirit and hence to experience him in worship, we must serve and worship Him in truth and in spirit. We get to experience His glorious presence and Holiness in the right dimension. The glorious and highly revered presence of the creator can only be felt in a holy place. This holy place maybe our hearts, a temple, or a place of worship. The magnificent presence of God can also be activated through intense prayer. The glorious presence of God is a complete package that comes with many fittings of the HOLY SPIRIT. The fittings of the spirit are available to all believers who seek to operate in the spiritual realm. Spirituality in worship is an essential and invaluable element of the Christian faith as it makes room for the manifestation of God's word in one's life.

IF YOU THINK...

 I f you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't! If you like to win, but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost; For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are,  You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger and faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins  Is the man who thinks he can Your ability to live a fabulous life is determined by your willpower. Nothing drives you more than your desire. If we read stories of people who have overcome serious disabilities, It is evident that their burning desire to succeed was their driving force. They had a goal in life. Despite the odds, they wanted to change the narrative, and they succeeded. Desire is what made a paralytic Wil...
