OPEN THE GATE TO SUCCESS

 OPEN THE GATE TO SUCCESS

A lot of people always have thoughts in their minds thinking of a way to open the gate to success, thinking of a way to get the key to success. Well, some achieved their goals while others didn't because they didn't follow the steps or got something missing in their life, something dragging them to failure, something creating ways for failure to come in.

Today, we will show the key to success and how to open the gate to success. You can't open the gate of success if you don't pass through failure, what do I mean? You must pass through failures, you must overcome every failures that comes in before you open the gate, and before you get the keys you must have overcome every challenge (sins, Satan, the world).

FAILURE comes in when you give up when you can't overcome it while SUCCESS comes in when you don't give up, you keep moving forward when things are trying to bring you down or trying to draw you backward.

Let's now talk about FAILURE, what it is, what causes it, also the benefits of FAILURE😏, yes failure has its benefit in life then we move on to how to overcome it to gain access to success and 

FAILURE is the condition of not achieving your desired goals/dreams and it is the opposite of success.

SUCCESS is the accomplishment of reaching your goals, dreams, and purpose.

Everyone hates failure, yeah, no one wants to be a failure, like I said earlier, you must pass through failure because it gives you the opportunity to bounce back, and learn from your mistakes.

Let's see the BENEFITS of Failure;

- It builds creativity: Once you fail, we all know that next time you will have to be more ready and work very hard in order not to fail again.

- It builds your character: If you are the kind of person that doesn't love reading a lot, failure will definitely make you read a lot, or if you are the kind that is too distracted (distractions cause failure) failure will definitely cause you to be more concentrated in your goals.

- It builds compassion: Failure will cause you to be concerned about your success, recognize your mistakes and put into action to help correct them.

WHAT CAUSES FAILURE

There is a lot that causes failure, the overall cause is SIN but let's list out other causes;

- Focusing on others' dreams; This is where a lot of people find it difficult to be successful because they want to be what they don't want to be. Someone's dream is not your dream, everyone has his/her own dreams to pursue.

- Not working hard: This is another major problem, how do you want to be successful if you don't work hard?🤷 never let failure discourage you, no matter how many times you have failed keep working harder give up, learn to have a "never die attitude" There's a level you will reach to get the rewards of your hard work.

- Not believing you can make it: Many fall into this category, they don't trust themselves, and they don't believe they can do it because they failed and tried many times and didn't achieve their goal. How do you want to succeed when you are not challenging yourself and believing in yourself you can still make it no matter the number of failures you pass through.

- Negative thoughts: A book I read says; "you shouldn't speak out your negative thought because it creates ways for them". For example, you are very ill and what is in your mind is 'I won't make it, I may die" Then you speak it out, it means you are creating a way for death.

The Bible says; "There's power in the tongue" Whatever you say happens, always speak positively to your life and change your negative thoughts into positive ones when speaking out.

- Distractions.

- Pride can lead you to failure; you can't be successful without the help of others. You have to bring yourself down to the lowest if you want to achieve something. Learn from others especially those who are successful, pride can destroy you if you let it grow in you. You may achieve something but the time will come you will pay for your pride.

- Missing opportunities when you have the chance to grab them. Many are in this category, they lose opportunities that will create a way to their success.

HOW TO OVERCOME FAILURE AND OPEN THE GATE TO SUCCESS

(Joshua 1:8)

I have mentioned some of them in the previous chapter.

But the greatest solution is GOD, you need God first in your life to overcome this before any other things to do to be successful. Let's see how we can overcome failure and the keys to success to bring success to our lives. The most important keys are Faith, Prayers, and Focus

- You need to overcome its leader (Sin), it is because of sin we are unable to overcome we need salvation to overcome sin and Satan.

- Know your dreams/goals

- Work very hard for it, don't let people or anything discourage you or stop you from moving forward. An example is Thomas Edison, he failed 1,000 times to invent a light bulb, but he didn't give up, he worked hard and later invented light bulb. 

- Make a wise decisions in everything

- Be disciplined.

- Study both the word of God and your books

- Commitment

- Be ready for any opportunities and grab them don't lose them.

- Prayers: check the lives of some successful men and women they put God first in everything and pray.

- Work with others for your success, those who are willing to help you and cast away those who are there to destroy you, distance yourself from them.

There's a saying "If you work with 3 successful men/women you will definitely be the fourth successful man/woman"

With these, you can overcome FAILURE and bring SUCCESS into your life.

In conclusion, be careful of those around you, and know who you share ideas and dreams with. People may ask How can we know those that want to destroy you?

Well, you just need to be careful and wise. most importantly, seek the face of God to help you and lead you to those who are willing to help you and cast away those who are there to destroy you. If you open the gate of SUCCESS don't sit back keep moving forward with prayers and keep working hard for more success.

I pray God in heaven will grant you the grace to achieve your goals and overcome every obstacle, Amen.
