The laws of success are those rules that spells out how success can be achieved. Last week, we learnt about the law of mental work and hard work. Truly, until you sit down, think and take actions, you will get nowhere (Proverbs 22:29). The Laws include:
- Law of investing in Knowledge and Insight: Knowledge is being abreast with all the information you need. Investing in knowledge means sacrificing money, time and energy on materials for a worthwhile purpose. You can only advance in life if you invest in knowledge (Proverbs 4:7, 2Peter1:5)
What do I do in order to invest in knowledge?
- Fear God: you should gear God because He desires you to prosper (Proverbs1:7, Deuteronomy 8:18, 3 John1:2)
- Meditate on God’s word: if you must succeed, then meditate on God’s word (Joshua 1:8)
- Have a heart that is willing to learn and search: if you don’t have this heart, you will not go far. (Proverbs 18:15)
- Accept discipline: discipline is not sweet but you must accept it if you must succeed (Proverbs 12:1)
- Law of Life Coaching: Life is the period between your birth and death. A Life coach is simply having someone that will teach you to organize your life. If you live carelessly in this world without anybody directing your life, you will die before your time (1 John 2:15-17)
If you weren’t taught, you would not have known how to brush your teeth, birth yourself or feed yourself; it is the same with mentorship.
Mentorship is not hero worship but God’s wisdom for speedy accomplishments. It is riding on the shoulders of someone who is ahead of you in order to avoid his mistakes and advance your destiny. You have a lot of good things in your heart but it takes a wise mentor to draw them out (Proverbs 20:5)
Important Quotes:
- Life is too short to be trekking; living without a mentor is like trekking from Owerri to Maiduguri for a job interview.
- Struggling and frustration will continue until you subscribe to a mentor.
- You are still where you are because you are comfortable there.
- No place is too far to go in the search for knowledge.
Prayer line: Father today, I receive grace to invest in knowledge and submit to mentorship in the name of Jesus, Amen!
