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!
