Called To Unending Success And Progress

 

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:12-14).

One of the many glorious benefits of the Christian life is that it’s a call to unending success and Progress. God’s dream for you is that you consistently make progress and heap success upon success. He expects you to be increasingly fruitful and productive in all your endeavours.

The Bible says the path of the just is as a shining light, that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). This is your heritage when you become a child of God, having been born again. Your path in life becomes one of consistent growth, steady prosperity and unending success and progress.

The Lord Jesus said in John 15:1-8 NLT: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more… My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father.” In other words, if you’re productive; if you’re fruitful and effective in your endeavours, the Lord prunes you so you can achieve even more. It’s the Father’s glory for you to be fruitful in life; He wants you to excel and consistently make progress. He’s more zealous and passionate about your success and progress than you could ever be.

Thus, you ought always to be success conscious. Note that progress is not necessarily measured at the tail end of one’s life; it can be measured at the different stages of your life. If you’re conscious of success at the level where you are today, that consciousness will take you to a higher level of success tomorrow. Never think failure, rather have the “progress mentality”. Your life will be an unending stream of victory and prosperity when you develop an attitude of success and progress.

Success mentality will keep you from mundanity (ordinary and not interesting or exciting) and the average life, and help you imbibe a culture of excellence. Be excited about life today and every day, for God has already made you a success! You have in you what it takes to confront the crisis of life and win. You are a spirit of progress! You were created to consistently move forward no matter what you are faced with today. If you’ve achieved all that you set out this month to accomplish, then raise the bar and set new goals! Give yourself a new vision because your progress does not end and its still your month of Progress. Hallelujah!

Making Progress By Meditating On The Word

 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

In this month of February, the predominant thoughts in your mind will ultimately determine the quality of your life and the extent of your progress. The Bible says, “…as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7), showing us that your life will not be different from your thoughts.

The Bible says, “…be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2). In other words, this month, don’t think the way the rest of the world thinks; use God’s Word concerning your progress to guide your thought-life. Let His Word about your success and prosperity occupy your thought processes morning, noon, and night. You must refuse the contrary thoughts of the enemy and focus all your thinking energy on what the Lord has said about your greatness. Praise the Lord!

This month, you have to practise thinking consciously, thoughts of advancement. If you ever find yourself in a challenging situation, instead of thinking on the problem and magnifying it, tell yourself, “I will not let this situation occupy my thoughts; instead, I will think on what the Word of God says concerning my success and progress.”

Immediately you do this, get a hold of your Bible and start digging into it. Think and meditate on the Word. As you reflect upon what God has said concerning your progress, there’ll be a metamorphosis; as your thoughts line-up with the Word, it will make you talk progress and you will go through each day of this month from one level of achievement to another. This is how you work out the Word of God concerning you this month. I’m looking forward to hearing your testimonies of progress. Hallelujah!
