And he shall
be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in
his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper (Psalm 1:3).
The future belongs to those who prepare for it. There’re lots of good things that can happen to you and for you along the path of life without you preparing for them or doing anything for them to happen. However, God’s best isn’t that you wait for good things to “fall” on you. For example, the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ died for the whole world. The work of salvation has been consummated; it’s been made available to everyone in the world.
But sadly,
there’re people who’ll still go to hell. Is it God’s fault, or was the
salvation inadequate? Certainly not! It’s because they chose not to accept His
salvation; it’s the choice they made that’s taking them to hell. Some others
never heard of Christ’s salvation, and it’s our responsibility to tell the untold.
In the same
way, you’re the offspring of success; therefore, you can’t and shouldn’t be
anything less. Success is your birthright. However, just because you’ve got the
genes of success in you doesn’t mean you’re going to live up to your calling.
You’ve got to do something about it; you must choose to win. Choose to be a
success. Organize yourself for it. Plan for it and work towards it.
Success and
failure are neither accidental nor mysterious. If you consistently practise the
principles of success according to God’s Word, you’re guaranteed to experience
good success in every area of your life. On the other hand, the one who lives
without vision, purpose and a sense of direction will fail miserably in life.
It’s still early in the year, a good time to organize and strategize by the
Spirit to win and be a victor on every count. Remember, it’s not enough to hope
for success; you make it happen. It’s a choice that you must make.
