“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Mark 8:36 KJV
To have succeeded is to run your race, finish your course, and rest in the Lord. Anything short of this is not success. The truly successful discover their race, complete their course, and finish strong.
I understand that we all want to succeed, make some money, and make ends meet. We want to succeed, and this quest drives many decisions and choices. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of success, many have sold their souls to the devil, taking risks that endanger them.
Success is not the same as getting rich; it’s not the same as making money. Success is a progressive journey towards a goal. Your last success is the platform for the next adventure. Let’s keep pressing on to higher ground.
The scriptures caution that it is useless to gain the whole world and lose your own soul. Success is beautiful, riches are attractive, wealth empowers; but your soul is all you’ve got!
How can you succeed without compromise? How can you succeed without selling your soul? How can you succeed without losing your soul?
- Discover and run your race:
- If you pursue nothing, you succeed at nothing!
- If you chase everything, you are on a wild goose chase!
- If you pursue something, you may succeed at something!
- Receive what you must do in your spirit:
- Create a hypothesis and plan the pilot.
- Incorporate the idea under a name for branding purposes.
- Test the hypothesis.
- Implement, expand, and diversify.
- Read your Bible and pray every day:
- We are in a generation of power.
- You cannot succeed when you are powerless.
- Building spiritual power and influence is essential.
- Spend time in the presence of God to receive power.
- Read widely and train yourself daily:
- Wisdom and knowledge are the stability of the times.
- Educate yourself daily.
- Meditate and speak the word day and night:
- The book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth.
- Meditate on the Word day and night.
- Speak what you desire to experience, not what you are experiencing.
- Strive with mastery and lawfully:
- Focus on things that are expedient, liberating, and edifying.
- You will make it and not fail!
Stay blessed!
