Why Dare to Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Dare to Succeed is specifically designed to teach, inspire and boost your confidence levels to look the challenges that assail you eyeball to eyeball, analyses and dissect them to see the hidden opportunities, albeit the stepping stones embedded in the challenges.

Indeed, the journey of life is not a bed of roses. However, the apparent bed of thorns that strew the pathways of success can become beds of roses which propel you to success and wealth if you know what to do; which is the crux of the matter – knowing what to do, to dare to succeed against all odds.

This implies that knowledge, not just any kind of knowledge but knowledge that is specific to dealing with the challenge/s is strategic to making the challenges stepping stone. Please permit me to quote Proverbs Chapter 24 verses 3 to 4 (NLT) verbatim. ‘any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense; and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts. To keep abreast of the facts is to be steps ahead of the relevant information required to pierce the darkness obliterating the light that will make you see the challenges as stepping stones.

God is Faithful

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God does not fail, has not failed and will not fail. That is the testimony of the saints in the Bible and it is one of the cardinal teachings in the Bible. Please see Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. David was a man after God’s heart, was anointed as King of Israel when he was still a teenager, experienced challenges that could have made him doubt God, the word of God and promises of God concerning him; yet David held on to God.

As a young man, God used Him to defeat Goliath and because the women of Israel sang praises of David, the then ruling King of Israel, Saul became envious of David and made several attempts on the young life of David. Consequently, David became homeless and had to live among the Philistines, ironically among the kinsmen of Goliath whom he killed. Eventually, Saul was killed in battle and after a battle with the surviving sons and relatives of Saul, the Israelites came together and crowned David king of Israel. Please see 1st Chronicles Chapter 12.
