SUCCESS ATMOSPHERE (5) - ON GROWTH

Great day it is
.
Asking, my young, beautiful and highly talented 'daughter', what plans she has in place for her singing career... Her reply? BY NEXT YEAR so so so...
As it were, it few hours time, the digits would change. Let's see how you put the year under control!
.
Ever had great zeal that prompts you into making 'Sky-Scrapper' decisions? That moment you heard Leslie made a first class, with excitement and determination you decide to devout 6hrs at a stretch for studies... Or in a bid to pick up Spiritually, you decide on a 100days fasting and Prayer program. Nice!
But how did it go after the first few days???
.
While counselling a lady few days ago, I had thrown to her some heart searching questions... As it were, she unveiled her determination to make a mark in the upcoming year, among which was a YEAR'S VIGIL... all through 2016.
.
Did I praise her zeal? NO!
Did I condenm it? WILL NEVER... but I had a piece of advice for her... "You can't break the LAW OF GROWTH".
.
I think most our FATHERS and MENTORS haven't been too fair with their sons/daughters... They tell of their outrageous sacrifices and unbelievable actions that led to their outstanding achievements. True though, but this could be misleading. Many would desire to do what their mentors did but tremendously! Little wonder they think BEING EXCEPTIONAL is an achievement reserved for the few.
.
Being fair enough, rather than appear in the costume of a SUPER-HERO Mentor, telling how they built some momentum into such sacrifice would be of greater help.
.
There is a LAW OF GROWTH that guides expansion. Any form of expansion has a root in your MENTAL/EMOTIONAL and PROFESSIONAL capacity... The sad news is that you weren't born with all you needed for such expansion, but life presents opportunities to acquire such... This is only achieved in a STEP-by-STEP manner.
.
It really isn't about the length of a fasting that matters to GOD, as your consistency in the one or two days you pick out in a week for such exercise... Aspiring to read 8hrs at a stretch begins with your 30mins to one hour consistently... At each level mastered, you unlock the strength for a greater level.

Thinking of opening a N500,000 business if you haven't ran a business before is nice, but keep that idea in a shelf... Go sell recharge cards and learn accountability.
.
Starting small isn't small itself... Its only the first steps taken to achieve greater steps... Whatever your plans are, if you've NEVER been into such, don't expect a MIRACLE... prayers and prophecy won't alter that sacred process. You will FAIL, but then you will LEARN and finally you will RISE! For even with God, it still remains... Precepts upon Precepts, line upon lines... A little here and a little there... Isaiah28:10.
.
Your day shall yield forth.
