The first thing we need to do before thinking of success is to change our thinking. Most people think of survival and existing and not of success. We think of success and so that is what we get. Some of us don’t even know what success is.
What does it mean to be successful? The difference between what we think and what we want is very significant. The world is created on a process of thoughts.
Some people are tired, some are angry, some disheveled, and we allow our mind to be bombarded with so many things.
The processing of our thoughts towards success is based on knowing the purpose of being alive. For this we need to seek God first. Each and every person is created to serve and fulfill a purpose, an assignment given to us by God. How do we put God first? This is the Word that proceeds from Him.
The word of God- the bible is the manual of life. What is a manual? A guide to how to do the things that should be done to ensure that the product is successful. We need to study the manual for our life to ensure the proper use of our life to achieve good success.
The bible is manual and inside that manual there are 6 items
- A book of information
- Information about the past - how it was done. When we are dealing with things we do it as an informed person
- Information of the present - how things will work in the present
- Information for those who like to speculate and plan for the future (Isaiah, Revelation, Nahum, Daniel)
- Book of law and the consequences for not living by the law. (Ignorance of the law is no excuse)
- A book of principles (things that happen when you do a thing). For example, what you sow is what you reap is a principles. There are principles for each and every area of our life.
- It is a book of knowledge. It points us to the light.
- Book of admonition
- A book of instructions
Let there be light is the first thing that God said and this shows that before anything we must first seek information, revelation regarding that thing. Genesis 1: 3.
