PRICE FOR SUCCESS.


"But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? (Luke 14:28)

The reason why many fail in life, regardless of the opportunities and resources available to them is due to lack of wisdom. Wisdom demands that as you begin this new year, it is expected of you to sit down first and count the cost. Success is costly my dear. The price is enormous. The price for success are principles and discipline that must be adhered to if success in any area of life must be achieved.

The scripture text begins by admonishing us with clear and instructive sentence. " But don't begin until you count the cost". Don't start running this new year until you have sat down to count the cost. What will it cost you to achieve your new resolutions, the  vision and those plans? What is the price it will cost to see those dreams come through this year?

1. The price of time management must be paid.
2. The price of total obedience to God must be paid.
3. The price of discipline and integrity must be paid. Etc.

Success this year will cost you a lot. In the pathway to success, you may loose some friends, loved ones. Because of your inability to get distracted. Success requires focus.
You cannot afford to be playing around and accomplish anything. You need to give your dreams your best shot and your all if your goals must be obtainable. Make up your mind and get ready for a total turn around as you take your need to God. Have a blessed week.

Hebrews 12:1-3  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangled, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

There are two factors that can easily hinder your goals in 2020:
1. Weight: e.g bitterness, unforgiveness, depression, discouragement, offences, etc.
2. Sin: e.g lies, immorality, deceits, etc

In order to achieve all your goals in this new year and not lose heart or become weary, depend solely on Christ alone.

Matthew 16:24-26  Then Jesus said to the disciples,"if any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me.
If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. And how do you you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?

PRAYER:
1. I receive grace and strength for the journey ahead in 2020 in Jesus name.
2. The Lord shall uphold me in His mighty hands and perfect all that concerns me this year in Jesus name.

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

KEEP YOUR TONGUE AWAY FROM EVIL

As the Scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep your tongue from speaking evil and stop telling lies.  -1 Peter 3:10 (GNT) A lot of people desire not only to have a successful life, but also to enjoy life, but the reality is this; only few adhere to the principles that would eventually lead to having an enjoyable and productive life. From our scriptural text, we understand that one of the keys that guarantee access to an enjoyable life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and to stay away from lies. Your life moves in the direction of your words. If you don’t like where your life is headed, then it is time to examine what has been coming out of your mouth. Any man that cannot have control over his tongue, cannot have control over his life as well. Proverbs 6:2 NIV says, “you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth". A lot of people have been trapped by the words they said. The struggle and ...

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses (I Timothy 6:12). In the journey of life, battles are not optional but mandatory. Even at birth, a child must be made to cry. At that point, he fights to overcome the force that wants to keep his lungs closed; so as to  live. Henceforth, various battles begin.  When one becomes born again, the dynamics of the fight changes. He will still fight but this time around it is a good fight. The bible calls it the “Good Fight of Faith”. The fight is a good fight; the weaponry is also a unique one, FAITH. So a believer fights the good fight of faith, this fight is  termed a good fight because the end is determined from the beginning. Victory is guaranteed at the end. It is a fight to be won. Halleluyah! It is like watching a replayed boxing match whose winner you already know. The same way, God is not bothered about what fight ...
