Success Principles Part 1

The Blessed Life “Life as God intended”

Success principles Part 1

Hi and welcome to this blog in our series “The Blessed Life” Life as God intended; I have been endeavoring to teach the believer practical step of activating the blessed life. The principles you will learn in this blog will be very helpful for the person who is sick and tired of being in the same place. These are not get rich quick schemes or gimmicks these are not “lucky charm” solutions these are Bible based principles that will alter your life forever. In fact when I do this particular lesson I challenge the people and say if you will take these steps seriously you will see a marked change in your life within 30 day. Note I did not say you will have a million dollars with thirty day but a marked or significant change in our life, your paradigms and in the way you carry yourself.

Remember that we covered in a previous blog that the first place you need to deal with if you are not happy with your life is your mindset, the way you think determines the way you live. The Bible says, “As a man thinks in his heart so is he” so change your thinking and you will change your life. A lot f people are trying to change their lives then they will change their thinking. The life you are living is a result of the thoughts you are processing.

We are told from stats and surveys that have been done that only 2-5% of all people on this planet will succeed in life. Now these stats are accurate but my assignment in life is to change that. I desire to see people succeed in life in fact this is the thing that motivates me the most. I wake up to help someone succeed; I was born to be a motivational teacher and prophet to people. I live to see peoples lives get better. When I see marriages healed, families restored, couple married, people get jobs, business grow I am happy and these things are happening in the church I pastor. So what you are about to read is wisdom that has been tried and tested. I could put a name to each principle, names from the Bible and from the church and from human history. So read on and grow and succeed. 

Follow these principles and you can change your destiny, you are not doomed to failure by some curse, there was no lottery draw in life that said you were born to fail, success is information away.

Success defined=The progressive realization of a worthwhile ideal

It believed that very few people know their personal vision in life and even fewer have a written down vision, this accounts for why the success ratio is so disheartening. Decide that you are a part of the minority that will succeed by having a goal or vision. If you are to succeed you must have a set goal or focal point in life that you are working towards. Have a worthwhile ideal that you are pursuing, the number one reason for failure in life is broken focus. Did you know that most people don’t fail in life; because to fail is to not achieve a set goal most people have no goals they coast through life and never really live life. This is an insult to God who sent Jesus to come and give us life and life more abundantly (John 10 vs. 10)

If you have made this decision then you are ready for the lesson today.

30 days to a transformed life. Romans 12 vs. 1-3. This is a kind of life make over program. I encourage you to get into a covenant relationship with a friend, your spouse, a colleague or even your pastor. Let them know that you are embarking on a life make over success program and that you would like them to hold you accountable for the steps that you are taking in this program. I suggest you take a week to work on the framework of the steps that are in the lesson and there is eight of them. Then dedicate a month to think through what you will have written and make the necessary adjustments, then when you feel you have a full solid plan to a new successful you begin the rigorous execution of what you have put in place.

Work over this over a period of six months to a year and you will see things change in your life. I guarantee you that if you will be careful to follow these steps you life will be different. Why six months to a year that is the amount of time needed for you to see traceable progress and to train your system in the new success routine. Meet at least once a month to review your progress with your mentor (weekly would be most ideal) Check how well you are doing what was established in the working document that you will have created (If you have questions feel free to contact me)
Now enjoy the eight steps to a new successful you

1. Visioning or visualization

See something, do you see yourself succeed in life or all you see is failure. For this to happen you might need to change your company and your hang out spots. Here is a principle “You are what you eat” now we eat with our brain, our eyes, our ears, our imagination and so on. Wealthy people know this so they make sure that their environment feeds them sufficiently to remain at the top. Poor people go to where poor people go failure like to keep company and console each other on why the will ever make it. My greatest problem with apartheid is what it did to the minds of its victims. On paper it is over but in the hearts and minds of millions of people apartheid still rules. We need to change the environment of our communities if we are to see change. Visualization creates the person that you are. 
Proverbs 29 vs. 18 When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

The most outstanding ingredient of successful people is their ability to vision, to see, to imagine to create. During the slave trade masters used to beat, abuse and rape pregnant women with the intent of producing docile, obedient slaves that cannot see a better tomorrow. You are what you think and vision. You need to have a personal vision and a vision corner on your computer and a vision board in your office or at home. This becomes a constant reminder of what is becoming a reality in your life and it will motivate you and give you a passion for life.

Practice; Take some time to think about your vision in as much detail as possible and write it down in a good note book or Journal. Create a vision corner

You can change your life by changing you focus (thinking, vision) fill your mind with thoughts of success that is why some of your friends need to come out of you life. Positive thinking will bring positive results and negative thinking brings negative results (you reap what you sew) You become what you think about (Proverbs 23 vs. 7)

The number one reason for failure in life is broken focus. God took Abraham out of his tent to show him the stars and the sand this was to help him visualize the promise that he will be the father of many nations. What do you have that helps you to see what life will be like when your vision is realized?

2. Imagination

Think the picture into existence. The first principle of visualization and this one of creative imagination go hand in hand. Your imagination is an important part of your success. Every great invention that has ever been created began in the imagination of someone. We used to get rebuked for daydreaming; little did our parents know that they were killing an important part of our success. Some of your most successful people in the world today have great imaginations or they employ people with great imaginations.

Plan and write your vision and think again until it takes shape, develop your thoughts and keep writing as you exercise your imagination you will begin to see things differently you will begin to crate in your mind a new reality that could be. This will apply whether you are working on a business proposal, solving a management problem or transforming your marriage. They say that all created wealth has its beginning in an idea. When was the last time you had an idea. Write down all ideas that come to you and keep records.

Synthetic and creative imagination is at your disposal but you need to develop more is creative imagination. This is the type of imagination that is able to create things that were previously were not known to the person. Synthetic imagination helps you to organize what already exists so that it can be productive. Both are necessary for success.

Praying in the Holy Ghost allows your mind to connect with God the author of all great purposes and ideas. This way you will have access to infinite knowledge. It is interesting that the most significant inventions in the world were created after the reformation when Martin Luther the reformer gave humanity access to the Word of God. Some of the greatest inventors of our time were Christians and some were ministers or the offspring of ministers.

When you body is submitted to the mind and the mind to the spirit and your spirit is submitted to the Holy Spirit you will tap into the amazing creative ability of God. It is in praying in the Holy Ghost that God ideas are birthed and it is in that place that they are developed. A great imagination is a great tool (Ephesians 3 vs. 20) 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 
1 Corinthians 14 vs. 2-5 and vs. 18

Practice: Dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to look at the vision and imagine how it will look like when you complete it

Do not accommodate negative imaginations (Romans 12 vs. 22-26) this has undesired results so keep your mind clean.

We have to stop here on this lesson to continue with this you will need to go to art two. I will also make available a tool that will help you develop yourself as a successful person. It is just the same as the notes you are getting here with fill in sections that will help to have a working vision document. But that will have to be emailed to you.
