Greatness is a state of being superior to persons or objects. Everyone wants to be great but not everyone becomes great. Here are a few steps one can take in order to walk in the path of greatness:
1. YOU MUST START NOW
Take the first step. Never raise your head to weigh the journey ahead with the purpose of bringing out reasons why you “can’t”. Start Now!!! For with God all things are possible.
2. YOU MUST SACRIFICE
You’re not too poor to give, no matter how little you have, there’s someone out there dying in lack of what seems useless to you. Solomon sacrificed to God and drew his attention from
3. COMPETE WITHOUT ENVY
Life is a personal race, our DNA proves that. Everyone is with his/her own style, wisdom, sense of approach, character etc. Virtually everyone is different, you don’t need
anything your brother or sister has to be better. To everyone God has given different gifts and talents.
4. AVOID TOO MUCH PLEASURE (AND SLEEP)
It’s good to enjoy some of the pleasures of life, but allowing that pleasure get a hold of you is something you must not allow, if it already has, you’ve got to pull back, because success has several addiction tools that strives with The enemies sowed tares, not when they were awake, seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before?
5. BE THE ONE TO START, TAKE THE RISK
Do not wait for your friend beside you to give it a try before you start thinking about going in. My mentor said to me “people who think much about starting and people who ask too much questions are poor people” if he starts before you, you’ll only end up being behind him,. David, Paul, Moses, and our Lord Jesus went out to take the risk, and in the end, they were above
all
6. READ MORE BOOKS AND LISTEN CLOSELY TO YOUR MENTORS
Wisdom is in a place hands can’t touch, it’s in the bottom parts in the heart of
Talk to people not to gossip, but to learn and increase in knowledge. If you can’t quote the phrases used by your mentors, then you’re not yet ready to rise above him. Wisdom is the principal thing.
7. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD
When it gets tough, pushing, when it seems like no one’s with you, continue pushing, now you’ve arrived at your red see, don’t stop, just let the Lord lead. Forget what people are saying; forget what situation you’re in. DON’T STOP!!! For Samson, most people considered him a failure, but the truth is, he fulfilled the prophecy concerning his life because he never STOPPED.
8. RESIST THE DEVIL
Walk not in the steps ordered by his devices, be honest, humble, truthful, meek, kind, easy to understand, and righteous in your dealings with other men. Do not intend to prove smart by stealing from others through their ignorance. For whatsoever
a man soweth….
9. BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF
Have confidence and trust in the person you are, permit no failure in your mind, because from the mind it flows to the heart and soon it’ll be your default setting. Start dwelling with your thoughts in things you want to see happening around you.
10. PRAY
You can struggle all day, but victory belongs to the one who moves with God (not hard work). It’s not your battle, stop trying to fix it yourself, stop thinking about it like the solution lies totally there, Remember – IT’S NOT OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT WHAT????
If you must succeed, God must be involved.
