A successful lifestyle has got nothing to do with what you have or what you are; how many 5’s, 4’s, 3’s or even 2’s you might have had, it has nothing to do with your first class or just a degree, it has nothing to do with what course or what specialty you are undertaking, do you hear me nothing alright, but it is the attainment of God’s purpose for your life. God has a plan for you (Jer. 29:11). They have been there long before you were born, or before you were even formed in your mother’s womb. You might be wondering what this means, yeah it is called predestination, and that’s God in action for you there. He is just waiting for you to step into the kingdom and step into them. You might be asking how to know his plan for my life? well I’ll tell you that in just a moment. I want to tell you something about yourself that you don’t know: You are special… yes sir you heard me, say that: “I AM SPECIAL” most people don’t even know how special they are. You are so special that God didn’t say let there be you, but He said let’s make you in His own image (Gen. 1: 26 & 27). God rates you as a special treasure to Him (Ex. 19:5). Your kind has never existed before, you are not ordinary, you are peculiar, and you have access to the divine power and nature of God here on earth (2 Pet. 1:3-4). The very first step into attaining excellence is for you to think excellence. You are who you see yourself to be (Prov. 23:7). As you think in your heart, so you are and what you think in your heart you will one day voice out (Matt. 12:34). You need to stop thinking and speaking bad things about yourself. Stop condemning yourself, stop saying how miserable and how stupid you are and how you will never make it in life, yes you know am talking to you, stop that, you are breaking God’s heart for doing so, you mean so much to Him (1 Cor. 6:20). You can only know the plan of God for your life through Vision. There you go again, yes vision, as a matter of fact when you don’t have a vision for your life you roam about, but God didn’t create you to roam about in life. Vision is like a path – finding tool (Joel 2:28), Abraham had a vision at the age of 75, so don’t be intimidated by your age because in the sight of God, you are still young. Where there is no direction, there cannot be progress, you need to locate direction for your life by vision (Prov. 28:18).Don’t be mistaken, I said vision and not ambition, impression, imagination, situation, reaction, confirmation, association or natural instincts. So you might ask how do I locate the plan of God for my life, how do I get a vision from God? well first and foremost, you need to be sure of your salvation, yes, you have to be sure that you are saved, and am not talking about religion because it will get you no where, then you need to have a strong desire for it (Hab. 2:1). Please note these that the plans of God for each and every one of us is different so do not envy others just get yours and stick to it. Am so sick and tired of hearing and seeing Christians suffering academically, changing courses and changing locations and changing schools, let that be the worries of those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. After God has revealed to you what He has for you then you need to take heed to be content and be consistent with what God has made you for. So when you have accomplished the plan of God for your life, then you are a successful man or woman.
In His Service
