THE COST OF SUCCESS

 School is calendar but education and learning are timeless for increase. Refuse to get angry or embittered each time you are mocked in the open. Rejoice because God want to bless you. Pray that oh God, what ever you have not given to me now it is because you have not prepared it yet. 

Your authority is not tied to your office but your faith in God. There are levels you want to attain then you have to value knowledge and wisdom to get there. So hunger for reading, study and knowledge always. You don't increase by All you keep but what you give. Be bold and fearless daily.

WHY GIVE THANKS TO GOD

 1. No one goes forward without engaging in the power of praise and thanksgiving as a life style.

2. God has never ceased to give his words. Mark. Chapter 16 verse 20.. The spirit of God turn my words to signs and wonders before people.

3. There's continuous growth as a family and individual. You grow by the help of God and not by your food and drinks.

4. We have been encompassed by the shield of favor daily. Let favor be your identity through worship and thanksgiving. The favor of God lifts people from dunghill to the palace. Testimonies answers to it's source.. praise. My mockery will end up as testimonies. Before God favor  you must be mocked so you can be favored and lifted. You can never be blessed until people mock you. Each time people mock you, recognize the hands of God want to bless and favor you at the end. You will share your testimonies. Have a deep appetite for reading and knowledge now. Benjamin franklin grew through personal development. Knowledge is key. Go for knowledge you will need it at the end.

WHY GIVE THANKS?

 Why do you have to give God thanks always? 

1. All we have was given to us by God. Psalms 24 and Haggai chapter 2....6___8. The hands of God delivers more and gives us the best. You are bound to enjoy the treasures of heaven once you know the secrets to the heart of God through worship, praise and thanksgiving. The treasures are connected to their source..... God.

2.... No one prevails by his strength in the kingdom. Romans chapter 19;16...1Samuel.2:9. With your strength means God, you are empty and weak.

3.. God is resisting the unthoughtful, unthankful from going forward. Stagnation doesn't afflict the thankful minds. Psalms 28:5... Proverbs 16:18. The ingrates are not celebrated but are mocked in the affairs of men. 

Never despise the days of little beginning. Be guided against murmurings and complaints,,mockers and doubters. Let new light break forth daily. Psalms 121 and 116...... and 126.

DANGERS OF INGRATITUDE

 There's a place of peace and the best is the place of calm. Let nothing bother you anymore, irrespective of what. Learn to depend absolutely on the holy spirit at all times. He is our divine hope and helper in the midst of challenges, obstacles and trials and disappointments, storms but even in good times.

Don't be proud in your success. To see the hands of God, you must give thanks. You don't have what it takes to make things better and work. The secret is to give God thanks. 

In 2Chronicles ,  chapter 26. King Uzziah was proud before God and refuse to be humble. So he was destroyed. In Daniel, chapter 4. King Nebuchadnezzar was proud before God humbled him. You don't compete with the throne of your Creator and Maker.

King Herod in Acts of the apostles, chapter 12. Accepted the praises of God and refuse to return the glory and so he too was eaten up by worms and maggots. So he was proud before God humbled and destroyed him.

FAILURE WORKS

 You can't succeed without first failing. We fall for many reasons. Admit that you have failed. Learn from failure to improve your strategy. Search out God when you fail.

Hear from the Holy Spirit daily to manage your next level assignment. Choose to move on after you fail. Take responsibility for your mistakes without blaming others.

Through your eyes of faith see your victories. Life will throw you many blows but the difficulty will make you stronger. Don't complain and blame God. Tell your challenges because you got victory in your DNA. Remember that a new season is coming to your finances. Weeping endures in the night but joy comes in the morning. Winter comes before spring. Season come and go. Refuse to quit and complain.

Tell your trials that it has met your match because I know who is inside of me and whose report will l believe not yours. Each time you fall, get up again and again but keep on fighting. Remember God has a set time for your blessings if you don't quit and complain. God has breathe in side of me courage and stay on power to overcome.
