EXCUSE FOR SUCCESS

The word “excuse” is defined as a reason put forward to justify a fault or failure. This definition makes an excuse the most powerful thing working against the success of any individual. The reason is that an excuse provides an opportunity to defend failure. Once failure is justifiable, there is no reason to strive for success. It follows that success is unattainable until an individual reaches a point where nothing is good enough to justify his/her present condition. Since an excuse carries in it tremendous power to convince a person of the necessity of a said condition, I hereby present 5 major excuse for success. This is with the hope that you would be so motivated that nothing would be able to keep you on the same spot. Please read through with an open mind and I am certain you would be blessed. EXCUSE I (YOU WERE MADE IN GOD IMAGE). If you believe that you were made by God exactly in his image, you would realize that you have no option than to be an outstanding success. This is because your maker has always been and would always be a mega success and you carry his “DNA OF SUCCESS” in your spirit. Therefore, success is not what you become, IT’S WHO YOU ARE. Once you get this, you are completely delivered from everything preventing you from displaying the success within you. You faith in God and your potential also increase tremendously. As a result, you would stop settling for anything less than the success resident in you. EXCUSE II(ANYTHING LESS THAN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS IS A WASTE OF GOD’S RESOURCES). To say you were created with success wired into the DNA of your spirit means that everything you require to manifest outstanding success was inputted into you at creation. If that is true, anything less is actually a waste of heaven’s resources. It is akin to staying hungry even though you have all the ingredients required to prepare a delicious meal. Allow me to state here that God hates it when his resources go to waste in this manner. Moreover, it simply does not make sense. If you understand this, you would set out to manifest the success resident in you with so much determination that no devil can stop you. This you would do with increased boldness because you know once have everything you need to succeed, success is not as difficult as you once believed. EXCUSE III(YOUR SUCCESS BRINGS GOD GLORY). The bible says “a wise son brings honour to his father”. Likeness, when you manifest your inner success, you bring glory to your maker. You also proof to the devil that he has lost the battle he initiated with your maker. Also, manifesting your inner success displays the supremacy of your maker over all idols and small gods worshipped in the world today. The devil understands this so he fights both and nails to ensure that God’s children do not manifest their inner success. But the man who understands the severity of this raging battle is already victorious because releases himself for God to reveal his glory through him. As such receive the full backing of heaver. Moreover, his love for God causes him to seek more ways to bring God glory. In the end, his success is immeasurable. EXCUSE IV (SUCCESS ENSURES YOUR UNENDING RELEVANCE). When you manifest your inner success, you become relevant to your generation. More importantly, the products of your life ensure that you remain relevant long after you have left the shores of this world. In other words manifesting your inner success gives you a legacy and helps you to preserve it. If you understand this, you would commit your life to a goal greater than mere existence because you know man has not really lived unless he leaves a legacy. You would also be ready to make the sacrifice necessary to manifest your inner success. In the end you would realize that you are much closer to being a blessing to your generation than you imagined. I know that many years to come; this piece would be part of my legacy to my generation. What would be your own legacy?. EXCUSE V (SUCCEED AND ENJOY LIFE). Nothing makes wealth and other thing you need to live comfortably flow to you like success. It ensures that the worry that comes with lack is reduced in your life to the barest minimum. The bible supports this ascertain with the saying that money is a defense. This is good because once lack is removed from a person’s life, the devils has lost a potent weapon he deploys to distract and derail such a person. Though it is God’s will for us to live above lack, he needs us to harness the resources he deposited in us so we can access every other thing he provided for us to succeed. Having said this much, this piece does not encourage the success by all means syndrome. Such ventures violate the true essence of this piece. Rather, it encourages every good, spirit driven effort. In conclusion, don’t settle for less. Never give up until you are that thing God ordained you to be. Don’t go to the grave with anything you were meant to bless your world with.

THE LIBERATED MIND

Notable among the features of world powers like the U.S.A is the vigorous pursuit and achievement of Freedom. This is because freedom gives them power to chart the course of their lives in the direction of their choice. In plain language, freedom allows them to pursue their own dreams. Over time, this concept has been abused, misconstrued and misdirected. All the same, it’s relevance to personal, national and world transformation and development count be over – emphasized. Little wonder freedom is the major bone of contention in majority of the world’s struggle today. I can also safely conclude that the real commodity traded in the world market is freedom. Every transaction either gives you an increased measure of freedom or takes away a part of your freedom. Super powers understand that the man who controls the flow of freedom in the world wields tremendous power. Therefore they have devised several means of obtaining and directing the flow of people’s freedom so they can deploy it for their own benefits. However, freedom as a concept resides in the mental faculty of the individual that possesses it. It is therefore controlled using belief systems and ideologies. For instance, a man can remain in captivity if he is convinced he is still in bondage even though he is free. Ideologies are often deployed either to facilitate growth or limit it. Limiting ideologies serve to effectively keep people in bondage. A good example is the belief that women are weaker sex therefore they are unable to handle important tasks. Women who belief this lie do not even dare to dream of greatness. Those who do are deemed bad women and accused of all sorts of misconduct. On the other hand, history is full of proof both of the possibility of conquering limiting ideologies and the fact that greatness is assured once limiting ideologies are out of the way. Many people never attain their full potential because they have been convinced that it is wrong to dream that big. In Africa, when your dream is bigger than most people can comprehend you are termed proud & arrogant. People reset the successful for their riches and wealth. Yet they crave the financial freedom that comes with wealth for themselves. As such, they remain complainers instead of active players in the game of life. How then does one rise above limiting ideologies? As a child of God, I believe that it is by measuring them against God’s word. Once the infallibility of God’s word is established in your heart, limiting ideologies would automatically reveal their numerous flaws. For instance the story of Debora, a woman who led Israel into battle firmly disproves the notion that women are naturally incapable of handling great leadership responsibilities. Once you see the flaws in these ideologies, you can effectively override them by declaring in prayer what the word of God says and refuse to live by anything contrary. I would also suggest objective analysis. This is an effort to determine whether or not those limiting ideologies are true. It is interesting to note that objective analysis would disprove almost all the limiting ideologies of today. To analyze these ideologies, ask questions like what is the real reason behind this belief / ideology? What is the benefit of this ideology to the people who hold them? What is the best & worst thing that can happen if I continue to live by this ideology? And finally what is best & worst thing that would happen if I stop living by them. This task is crucial because to create a better environment you have to think differently. Your future would only be different from your past/present if you let go of the limiting ideologies of your past/present. This piece would not be complete except I advise you to be ready for stiff opposition as you attempt to invalidate the limiting ideologies of your time. This is partly because if you succeed, you would tap into a realm of achievement most people in your generation only dream about. It is also because human beings are creatures of habit. They would vehemently fight anything different from what they are familiar with. However, your doggedness in the face of opposition would yield multiple dividends when you achieve your desired results. You would have successfully liberated yourself and would be ready to liberate others around you.
