1 Thess 4:13, Prov 13:4, Prov 22:29, 2 Thess 3:10, Luke 14:28-30, Isaiah 54:2

Men and brethren, you are the main thing that is about to happen to your generation if you believed it. No man or situation is permitted to humiliate you without your permission. Therefore, commitment to Tracking your Success guarantees a sweat-less destiny with purpose.  Find out what God has sent you to and be consistent in doing it and your success shall dazzle your mockers. Your names for sure will say you have used juju,  but you must tell them that the power of God inside you is stronger than any juju. I declare you victorious. 

I have pondered the last years in my career as an engineer and calling as an evangelist; I have made sure that I assess my own performance at regular intervals and learn skills every day because you need skills as a believer to get employed; you also need skills to remain employed. We must do what we need to do and allow God to do what He will do. But sitting down and waiting for manna to fall from heaven is equivalent to when the Thessalonians sat down, doing nothing and expecting rapture to take place. Paul had to write them “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” 1 Thess 4:13. Today, as you ponder on yourself, the power of God shall defend you and cause you to shine like ten thousand stars.

As a child of Power, I use every opportunity to ask myself whether I am reaching the personal targets I routinely set myself at the start of each year, each day and each week. I find it as a source of motivation to push on and make the rest of the year, of the day of the week and of the month a success “The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.”Prov 13:4. Again the bible says “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”Prov 22:29. Tell God today, I am ready to get my financial fatness. Bless me so that I can become a blessing to my generation. Amen

Men and brethren, the value you placed on actualizing your vision through hard work in God can either make you a celebrity or make you a nonentity. A believer must create an opportunity to take stock of their career. Do you know that outside your family and friends; work is the most important thing in our lives so it is sensible to make the effort and ensure you are in the right job, working for the right organisation and enjoying yourself. Work is an increasingly important part of modern life so you should focus as much time and attention on your career as you can. “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thess 3:10. Therefore, when you give unto the Lord, he grants you winning ideas that will command wealth.

When people think about reviewing their career, their business and their life, they can sometimes feel overwhelmed. However I believe there are a number of straightforward steps that anybody can take to do this

Number One: Evaluate your input: Look at what you currently do and the value you add to your company, your organisation and your business. How much of an asset are you to your employer? How much of an asset are you to your school? How much of an asset are you in the business? If you are unemployed, look through your CV and do the same thing. What are your unique selling points and what can you add to a company, a school, a business that you might join? Jesus said “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish. ‘Luke 14:28-30

Number Two: Be realistic but act in Faith: Confidence in your ability is great, but you have to be realistic. It is highly unlikely you will be able to move from one company to another and immediately treble your salary. If you are looking for progression, speak up and ask. Your employer will be impressed by the ambition you are showing. Heb 11:1-6

Number Three: Set goals: You should always have a career plan mapping out what you want to achieve. Set yourself goals for each year, for example taking on new responsibility or mastering a new skill. By setting regular, clear goals you will find it easier to accelerate your career. Phi 3:13-14, an interesting scripture is in Isaiah 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.”

Number Four: Research: Good preparation will make all the difference. If you are already in a role, research your sector – look at everything such as the average salary levels to understand if you can progress. If you have landed an interview, then your research needs to be even better. For example if you are applying for a Financial role within a company, the very least you should do is familiarise yourself with their accounts. These days information is so readily available that there is really no excuse for not preparing properly. Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.” Prov 24:27

Number Five: Positivity and Confidence: “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Heb 4:15-16. Therefore, having the right frame of mind is important in any part of your life, but especially when it comes to your career. People who take the glass half full approach – people who see opportunity in every mess, in every limitation, in every problem, are more likely to get the job they want. They never lack the mental attitude to progress. You may not have any direct experience in a particular sector, but have you looked at your transferable skills? Being successful in one area doesn’t mean you are restricted to working there forever; it is just a case of using these achievements to sell yourself elsewhere.

Number Six: Get a mentor: Having somebody alongside you to provide a fresh, honest opinion can be a big help. Whether it’s somebody in or out of the working environment, a mentor can make all the difference to your career prospects. The right person will be able to give impartial, objective advice and quite often point out things you may not have noticed. These are destiny helpers’ position by God to help you in all areas of life. David fulfilled his destiny, but God used Samuel to anoint him as king; As if Saul the reigning king does not want to make David the king, God used different people from different places to ensure that his destiny was fulfilled I Chronicle 12:1-40. When God sent you destiny helper, God will put you in a situation where others do the work and you get the benefit; there could be sudden changes! Doors open, opportunities come, favours come, and people you thought didn’t notice you or even likes you will begin showing you favours.
