STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS.
Life is filled with challenges that touch every individual at some point.
However, ignorance of how to confront, escape, or rise above these challenges can be
detrimental.
Today, we will explore ways to live above circumstances, acknowledging
that everyone faces or will face them at some juncture in life, whether we welcome this
reality or not.
Cultivate an Attitude of Joy:
Embrace joy as a divine gift, a fruit of the Holy Spirit
(Galatians 5:22-23).
Joy is a priceless commodity found in the Kingdom of God
(Romans 14:17). By connecting with the Holy Spirit, you receive a powerful
weapon that transcends circumstances, providing divine ability and hope,
allowing you to endure challenges with a radiant spirit.
“There is nothing better than a joyful attitude.”
Keep a Positive Memory:
In a world marred by errors and negative experiences,
forgiveness and mental discipline become crucial. Follow the strategy outlined by
Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:5-6, casting down negative thoughts and imaginations,
bringing every thought into obedience to Christ. Redirect your focus on positive,
virtuous thoughts, as suggested in Philippians 4:8.
“Reshuffle your mind daily, casting down negative thoughts and embracing
virtuous thinking.”
Have Firm Confidence in God:
Unshakable confidence in God is a key to facing life’s challenges. Despite hardships, maintaining trust in God, who never fails, can lead to victory. Learn from the experiences of Paul, Abraham, and Job, realizing that passing through difficult times does not signify God’s failure.
“In the valley of shadows, maintain unwavering confidence in the unchanging
God.”
Choose Friends Wisely:
The company you keep significantly influences your path.
“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Proverbs 13:20 above emphasizes the impact of walking with the wise.
Be selective in choosing friends, as influential people often have few, determined
companions who share common values and goals.
“Choose friends wisely; let your circle reflect shared values and purpose.”
Embrace a Praiseful Lifestyle:
Praise is a powerful tool that opens the gates to God’s presence. In times of uncertainty, when prayers seem difficult, turn to praise. It’s a supernatural strategy that can move mountains and dissolve hindrances.
“When in doubt, praise; it’s a powerful weapon against life’s challenges.”
Assure Yourself of God’s Presence:
Remind yourself constantly that God is with you. This assurance provides stability and courage, preventing fear or wavering. As the psalmist declares in Psalms 16:8, “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.”
“Be assured of God’s presence; it’s your anchor in the storms of life.”
In conclusion, apply these strategies in your life, evaluate your actions, and share these
insights with your loved ones. Your intentional engagement and positive influence can
inspire others to live above life’s challenges.
Yours in the Lordship of Jesus Christ,
