"LIVE LIKE YOU CAN NEVER FAIL"
Sometimes we live our lifes with so many fears and so many preconcieved notions. We live our lives holding on to our past and thinking that maybe life will never change for us because to this point it hasn't. We are unwilling to step forward into what God has promised us because we are afraid of failure. We are afraid to look stupid, we are afraid of what people may think or say about us. We make excuses for why we haven't pursued our dreams and our passions. WE ARE AFRAID TO FAIL because we believe LIFE HAS FAILED US.
What others have done to us has nothing to do with our substance. What we have done in our past has nothing to do with our substance. Our substance consists of TRUTH, God's word. The passions and the dreams that we have for ourselves are really God inspired. We have been ordained, predestined and even programmed to achieve amazing things in our lives. The difference between those who succeed and those who don't are EXCUSES! "I can't do this because of....." We set ourselves up to fail. We say ok I am going to try. To me "trying" really means you have already given yourself an option to fail. You already made a plan B. You are essentially saying "okay I am going to try it out and if it doesn't happen or work then I am going to.....".
What if we pursued our dreams and passions like there wasn't an option to fail? What if we stepped out on God's word and faithfully put our hand to the plow. The word fail actually has the following meanings: to forsake, to fall short of, be unable and to prove insufficient. Doesn't God's word say that He will never leave you nor forsake you. It also says that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. God also promises that His grace is sufficient for us. Nowhere does He give us the option to fail because we CAN'T. As long as we acknowledge God in all our ways and work through His anointing then everything we do will be blessed. It will be empowered to prosper and succeed.
Often times we do pursue our own fleshly desires and pray that God puts His stamp of approval on them. In those cases it seems like when our plans don't go through we have failed but really we haven't. God uses those situations and teaches us how to use wisdom. God turns it all around and uses it for your good. He uses what we see as failures as a chance to awaken and prosper us. We can never fail if the end result brings GLORY to God. Even when we do pursue what God has approved and we fall down His word tells us to get back up. We don't have to stay down. We can get back up and keep pursuing the dream, the vision, our calling. We can't focus on the times we fell. We have to keep pressing forward. We have to keep sowing our seeds of faith. Everytime we plow and everytime we sow we are planting a seed into our future. We are setting ourselves up for a plentiful harvest.
We have to know that God did not program us to be unsucessful. He did not design us to be unfruitful. He said be fruitful and multiply. He says that He desires for us to prosper and succeed. He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. He is commited to helping us achieve all that He has ordained for us. It is not in our own abilities that we achieve our dreams. It is through Christ that all things are possible. It is through the anointing and the power that God has planted within you. IF you are pursuing God then all that you put your hands to shall prosper in due season. God says not by (your) might nor by (your) power but by His spirit that you shall do all these things. Get out of your own mind and seek the mind of Christ. Your opportunities are endless. If God is for you...if God is working it out....if God has your back then who can be against you.
Resistance may come but keep believing in His word. Stay faithful in your pursuit. God will honor your faithfulness. Don't have a slack hand. Educate yourself and reach for the stars.
LOVE, FAITH AND SUCCESS.
