The truth of the matter is when planning for business, college teaches you to prepare for failure and draw these conclusions on how to recover from failure or what you will put in place to prevent it. But no one, NOT ONE CLASS teaches you how to prepare for SUCCESS! I realized that I was still looking at the cloud because I was living in FEAR! I had to pray and be honest with God about what was keeping me from believing that God called me to be successful in business.
I have had several years of struggle that I had gotten used to. I understand that those seasons come and go and they also vary in appearance. I had to admit that I was FEARFUL of success and how to behave in a place of blessing. It's not that I wasn't blessed in the place of my struggle but I must follow God closer as He takes me to new places in Him. It has never been about the struggle nor is it about the success, its about trusting God enough to open the door when He sends the answer.
When Paul was in prison, the church prayed for him. While they were praying, he was released and when he knocked on the door, Rhoda was so excited that he was at the door, she didn't answer it! It is so important that if we ask God for something, according to His will, we take hold of the faith He provides to receive the promise. Always remember that God gives us faith to believe what He has promised to us. He does not need us to put words in His mouth, but take hold and trust the Word that comes from His mouth!
Be Blessed, be strengthened, be encouraged and be enlightened
