Rise up early –
a great while before dawn to prepare. All the amazingly successful biblical
characters always rose up a great while before dawn to spend quality time with
God, plan and prepare for the day. The quality time spent with God meant
greater illumination of their minds. Please see Psalm 119 verses 105 and 130. This
also enabled them to receive divine blueprints for the day, days, weeks, months
year etc. with such blueprints, they literally ran vigorously with the vision;
garnered support as well as other resources required accomplishing the vision.
Please see Moses, Joshua, the virtuous woman, Jesus Christ.
Prepare even for
the next second. Preparation is central to maximizing opportunities. When
preparation meets opportunity, the rest is history as success comes in leaps
and bounds. You make hay when the sun is shining and not when snow is falling.
You also strike when the iron is hot and not cold.
Always
anticipate people, events and situations so that you can proffer solutions
ahead of time. Jesus Christ knew that Peter would be tested by the enemy and
Peter would fail yet Jesus prayed for Peter so that Peter would become a
different person after the test. Significantly, the same Peter who denied Jesus
Christ thrice led the early Church after he was strengthened on account of the
prayers Jesus prayed for him.
Do not shift blames. Accept responsibility and
repent and God will restore you. David acknowledged his sin. He did not blame
beautiful Bathsheba for seducing him. God forgave him and restored him.
Do not wait for events and people. Rather, preempt
people and events through prophecy – by prophesying the word of God.
Beat the competition by doing exactly what God wants
you to do, how He wants you to do it, where He wants you to do it and when He
wants you to do it. That way you will be ahead of the competition though in
reality there is no competition if you actually focus on what God wants you to
do.
Be organized in your mental processes, physical
activities and financial transactions. Organization ensures seamless
transactions from one level to the other.
Be proactive in
spiritual matters. For instance do not glory over the victories of yesterday
and become complacent in the process assuming you have arrived. Like in chess,
attack, retreat, attack so you can always have an edge over the enemy. The
devil attacks at one’s lowest moments but a child of God in the spirit always
overwhelms the devil with God. Therefore, cut down leisure hours and spend more
time with God. Cut down on the long hours of sleep and wage war like an
experienced generalissimo on your knees. That way, you will always go ahead of
the devil, frustrate him and his evil plans. One of the ways to go ahead of the
devil is to fellowship with God in prayers, praise and worship as well as in-depth
study of the Word. In essence start the day with morning devotions even when
you are swimming in billions and your health is great.
Think generationally so that you can deal with
generational limiting patterns and occurrences that have afflicted family
members by superior knowledge, the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of God.
Please see Hebrews Chapter 4 verse 12. Leapfrog generational barriers through
deep level intercession. Please see Luke Chapter 1 verse 13, Matthew Chapter 18
verse 18, Ezekiel Chapter 18 verses 2 to 3. To an extent that is what praying
for tomorrow is about. Do not wait until challenges assail you before praying. Make
prayer a daily affair; and most importantly, a relationship with God.
PREPARE. BE MORE AND VERY PROACTIVE. Victory is
yours in Jesus mighty name.
