This book of law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt mediate day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written there in for then thou shalt make they way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
One of the utmost desires of believers and unbelievers alike is to record successful achievement. Ministers of the gospel business men and women, politicians, civil servants entrepreneurs, students, government officials and people from all spheres of life pray for success.
To be successful means to prosper in a chosen cause. It is similar to being the head and not the tail. Success and excellence go paripasu.
Daniel experience what successful achievement mean because he possessed the spirit of excellence.
Principles of successful achievements
- Dependence on God: – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverb 3:5-6
- Determination: – Determination can not be separated from successful achievement. It is determination that will keep you on the right track
- Discipline:– Successful people never condone indiscipline. To be disciplined is to be in charge or in control. It can also be seen as the ability to know what to do at the right time and in the right place.
- Dedication to Diligence: – Diligence is one of the indisputable conducts of successful people. It is what separates the leader from the laities, the rich and the poor, successful people from failures. You can not go far on the ladder of successes without dedication to hard work
The plan of God for your life is success. It is when you are successful that you will become a channel of blessing to others around you. Failure is alien to the promise of God for you. Have faith in God that He is able to turn you from a failure to a success.
In Winston Churchill’s opinion there is especially one thing which decides about success or failure: the courage to continue!
