Hello young Christians, (Oh yeah, I am still alive. Lol. )
It’s been a while I haven't post anything here, but trust
me, Christie Christian was always in my heart.
Like 95% of students in South Africa, I am presently going
through this horrible stage called exams.
And this just made me think how hard achieving something can
be. Yes I know, I am supposed to be positive, but it is a fact: For successful
achieve a goal we sometimes needs to go through challenging stages. But as
children of God, there are three important foundations that can enable us to be
living wonders and successful in everything that we may accomplish.
So let me resume where we are now because, and simply giving
you my secrets to achieve successfully everything that one may plane. The key
words are:
1.Faith
2.Hard Work
3.Sacrifices
1. Faith involve the ability to always believe that you can
make it, that you are more than excellent in what you do, and have been wonderfully
created at God's image. How can you fail?!!! And even if you find yourself
going through hard time (Which is totally normal and part of life), you have
the power to stand up and do much muuuucch better! Don't let anybody tells you
that you can't, don't let anything discourage you, you have been wonderfully
made, and have faith that you can achieve absolutely anything!
2. Hard work is usually a word that people doesn't like. It is
a fact, human doesn't like to work hard, they certainly prefer to get money easily
or to be successful without making any effort. But let me tell you something,
if you want to achieve something big, something amazing, that people and even
yourself will remember, you gotta work hard for it. Even if it involve to sleep
less, eat less, read, walk, write a lot, please work hard because at the end of
the day you will be the one who will benefice from it. The Bible even
encourages us to be excellent in everything that we are doing. It say whatever
you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human
master (Colossians 3:23). This simply encourage us to always do our best, whatever
we have to do, because our blessings will depend on the effort and goodwill
that we put in our work.
3.Regarding to the last point, it is actually much more
complex. There are some things, people or environment that we may found
ourselves in that prevents us for achieving our goals. They are some habits
that we have been used to, which don’t allow us to do our best and even lead us
to fail. Life is a matter of sacrifices. As much as we work hard and have faith,
we must be able to:
- Give up on people who don’t encourage us to excel or are
simply considerate as bad influence. Not because we don't love them, but simply
because to be excellent in life, we also need to be surrounded by people who
have the same vision than us and encourage us through every good plan that we
may have. Even if it hurts or if you will be seen as someone disloyal, the fact
is that if you walk with someone who doesn't see life the way you do, you will
either be delayed or simply be stopped and divert from where you are supposed
to go!
- Sacrifice also includes the ability to give up on all the distracting or harmful habit that we have been used to. More easy to say than
to do you will tell me. But trust me, when you really want to get rid of
something, you will always succeed, and no matter hard it can be.
So beloved, today I challenge you, to apply all those three
principles when setting up your next goal and come back here to testify how productive it can be to apply Biblical principles. Because yes, the article may be written by me, but I
was just inspired by the Lord to share with you what the God would like us to stick on when
having an objective, no matter big or small it could be. Never give up, don't
let anybody discourage you or makes you think that you can't realize your
dream, because Jesus himself says in Mark 9:23 “Everything is possible for one
who believes.".
God is not a men to lie or to change his mind, therefore, everything HE said about your life will always be realized. So, stick on it, work hard and get ride of everything that could prevent you to access your blessings.
+++ Today, I would also like to encourage everybody who has
additional principles to share with us. If you also include other points in your
pursuit of excellence that may be helpful for us, please comment and share it
with us.
May the Lord keep on blessing you Guys !
