There is no success without secrets and strategy; and there is no possibility without a responsibility. Beneath every greatness lies a price and to every success lies a principle. To be at the top is God's purpose for His people but you need to work your way to it. To find yourself financially and spiritually successful at the top, you need to:
- HAVE A VISION/DREAM: Whatever you don't see coming can never come because what you don't see you don't seize. What is not your vision can never be your portion in life and there is no way you can achieve what your heart did not conceive. Get a dream and have a vision because a life left to chance is a life left in chains.
- BE DIFFERENT: The desire to be like everybody is the reason for so many nobodies. You have to be different before you can make a difference. It is only when you step out that you can stand out. Don't follow the crowd, stand out and be different. Don't compare yourself with anybody else; you are unique, one-of-a-kind, an original, don't settle for being a copy. Don't copy/imitate anyone, rather focus daily on your greatest source of confidence.
- AVOID JEALOUSY: Bitterness is like a chain around the neck of your potentials; choking the life out your freedom and joy, and making even the sweet taste of success turn sour in your mouth. When jealousy comes, focus is lost, when focus is lost, speed is lost, when speed is lost, success is lost, and when success is lost, impact is lost. What you don't celebrate, you don't attract. Avoid jealousy and celebrate the success of others and yours will come.
- MAINTAIN GOD'S PRESENCE (Ps 16:11): You may loss anything in life but never loss the presence of God. Your success is connected to the revelation with God. Pursue God and the things of this world will pursue you (Matt 6:33). Seek the presence of God and you will be favoured even where others are failing.
- MAINTAIN CHARACTER (Dan 1:8): The strength of your character determines the weight of your destiny. The depth of your character also determines the height of your success. Refuse compromise, Yes! Refuse to compromise; because if you loss character you lost everything (Gen 39:9). God cannot do anything serious with any one whose character is out of order.
- HAVE A SENSE OF PURPOSE: The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Those who live purposefully end meaningfully. Think deeply in whatever you do because the depth of your thought is the depth of your life; shallow thought leads to shallow life but solid thought leads to solid life. Calculate your steps and weigh your options(think deeply) in whatever you do. Ask yourself these questions; am I keeping the right company? Am I channelling my energy to the right direction? What am doing right now is it to the best interest of my destiny? Am I making the right use of my time? Develop a sense of purpose and watch yourself excel to the top.
- LIVE BY CONVICTION: If you want to reach the top you must live by conviction not by consensus nor by compromise. Mean everything you say and say everything you mean. Those who don't stand for anything fall for everything. What you are known for will determine your impact in life. Have a stand and pursue a straight course so that your destiny can be straight.
- RELEASE THE PAST: If you focus on your past, you will loss focus on the future so never allow your past to hold you down. It is not possible to walk backwards into the future, so let go of the past and do not allow your history to define your destiny. Release the past. You cannot live in the past and lead in the future. Forget it now and move on.
- LIVE HAPPY: When your heart is heavy, your mind and spirit is blocked, and the state of your heart determines what you attract into your life (Isaiah 12:3). You cannot fly when you are heavy because the wind cannot carry stones. Develop a joy-filled heart and refuse to be unhappy because the joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh 8:10). Life is too short to be an inmate in the prison of sadness, fill free and be happy.
- BE FAITHFUL: To the extent you will be trusted by God, to that extent you would be entrusted with divine resources. Don't let people develop doubt about you. Don't be a chameleon with God or man and don't backstab. Your blessings are at the mercy of your faithfulness (Prov 28:20). Be faithful, Be Trustworthy, Be Dependable and Be Reliable.
