Secrets of Success

“Cast me not away from thy presence;  and take not thy holy spirit from me”  (Psalm 51:11)

I -  Do Not Joke With Your Quiet Time  -  Your quiet time is when you  pray.  There are 3 important prayer principles: 

1.       Do not worry .  Instead pray.

2.       Don’t quit . Pray persistently.   “ As for me,  I will call upon God;  and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon,  will I pray and cry aloud:  and he shall hear my voice.”  (Psalm 55:16-17)

3.       Don’t doubt.  Pray positively. Alway push!  PUSH  means:  Pray Until Something Happen!  “But let him ask in faith,  not wavering.  For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.”  (James 1:6-7). 

II – Do Not Neglect The Fellowship Of The Saints – “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;  but exhorting one another:   and so much the more,  as ye see the day approaching.”  (Hebrews 10:25).  “ For if I build again the things which I destroyed,  I make myself a transgressor.”  (Galatians 2:18).

III – Always Hunger And Thirst For God – There are many benefits of staying close to God:

1.        Your case will be given priority. “If ye walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, and do them; then will I give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the filed shall yield their fruit.”  (Leviticus 26:3-4).

2.       Your prayers will be answered -  “He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:  I will be with him in trouble;  I will deliver him,  and honour him.”  (Psalm 91:15).

3.       Your life will never get misled -  “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:6).

4.       Your life will be prosperous -  “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;  but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,  that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,  and then thou shalt have good success.”  (Joshua 1:8).

5.       You will experience overflowing blessings – “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33).

6.       Your life will be fruitful  -  “Abide in me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of  itself, except it abide in the vine;  no more can ye,  except ye abide in me.  I am the vine,  ye are the branches:  He that abideth in me,  and I in him,  the same bringeth forth much fruit:  for without me ye can do nothing.”  (John 15:4-5).
