Be You and Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Take off the silly mask and be yourself. Be the loving caring person you were created to be. Love gives. Think openness. Dream, love, do not give in to apathy. Joseph never stopped dreaming, never stopped loving. No wonder he emerged into the plans and purposes of God for his life

Be intimate with God, which is investing in a fervent relationship with God because that is the right thing to do. Do not pretend to be a Christian because your friends or family members are. Be a Christian because Christ died for you. Also, the one person you should know intimately is God who has power over everything. No one can stand against you when God is for you.

Follow through on God’s call for your life if you have the call of God. Do not imitate others in the quest for money. God is more powerful than money. Your present economic condition does not determine where you are going to. Rather, it is the call of God that you respond to that will take you to God’s ordained heights for you. The Biblical Joseph chose the call of God. He got to the top position and had money in abundance. Be the GIFT He created you to be to the world and bring His healing and blessings to all who you come in contact with. 

Do not pretend to be who you are not. Do not try to impress anyone. Be who you are. Be yourself. God assesses people on the basis of what He asks them to do.
Do not compare yourself to other people. Buy what you need. Invest resources in what you need. Do not try to be like the Joneses and get into consumer debts or even investment debts that you do not need.

Ask God for personal vision. Vision is an impression of your tomorrow, God’s plan for your life. Vision is like a steering. A life without vision is like a vehicle without a steering. The worst person on earth is a person without vision. Therefore, identify your God given vision and pursue it. People gather around you because you have a vision. However, there is a difference between a vision and ambition. An ambition may crash but a vision cannot crash because it is backed by God.

Do not run after titles because that is what everyone else is doing. The work is not in the title. Do the work. Beyond title is the work.

Dress and talk the way God wants you to talk.

Do not neglect your Christian responsibilities because you see some people doing so. David stayed back when he should have been at war. The result was the sinful liaison with Bathsheba.

Build your foundation on the Word of God.  If you build your foundation on anything else, you will lose your reward.

Operate in the wisdom of God and not the craftiness of man. Growth in wisdom is progressive as you obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows everything.

Work with a right team; therefore, choose your team with the help of the Holy Spirit.

It is not everything you see you mention. Be careful the way you talk. Say only what God wants you to say and you will succeed.
