10 KEYS TO Prosperity SUCCESS

Judges 6:7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, 8 that the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; 9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land; 10 and I said unto you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. 11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

2 King 4:1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3  Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7  Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

10 KEYS TO Prosperity SUCCESS

* Keys are used to Open Doors – safes
* Keys are Used to Get us ACROSS or you will Stay Behind
* Keys are Opportunities

1. How you THINK is everything!
“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” Prov. 23:7

A. Some people begin in LIFE, a JOURNEY, or even a SENTENCE by thinking what is WRONG with it.
B. Some people begin LIFE by thinking what is RIGHT with it.

In Life – everything we see can get us to FOCUS our Attention to either Negative or Positive.
But we have to PURPOSE – are we going to Change OUR MINDS, before trying to Change others around us.

Everyone of us – ASSIST by Changing others for the GOOD or BAD

Begin by THINKING Big so that we can

This Woman’s THINKING was Changed to Think BIG                                     to begin to RECEIVE

2. Take time to discover your STRENGTHS .                                                    You can do so by observing your gifts, what you like to do, what people affirm, areas you shine.

Gideon – did not discover HIS Strength, an Angel had to tell him.
The Woman did not know her strength, & it was in her house.

Sometimes the very thing that can get us out of DEBT is at our reach, but because we did not tap into it, we lean on our weakness.

Take Time to Discover what GOD has RECOVERED for us.

3. Take ACTION .
After all is said and done, often there is more said than done!                     Do actions back your plans?

Both cases – The Woman & Gideon had to leave the comfort zone of LIFE & Do what was told that they did not do before.

WHO SAID, you cannot be the first person to begin something that was never begun before.

Who said, because it was never attempted before, you & your clan cannot do it.
This Lady – was leaning so much on her own, she did not know that she can live life without her husband, let alone without debt.

The ANGEL said –
YOU CAN MAKE IT – because I the Lord am with YOU
YOU CAN BE DEBT FREE – because I the Lord am with YOU
YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL – because I the Lord am with YOU

4. Never stop LEARNING .
A. Seize every opportunity to exchange knowledge.
B. Embrace contradiction!
C. Look at the big picture
D. Everyday, learn something.
E. All personal growth is a result of your willingness to learn

IF you & I stop Learning – we STOP Growing
If We stop Growing – then we are DYING

5. Be PERSISTENT and work hard.                                                                  The secret of your success is found in your
daily routine.

Deut 28:12 – God will bless the works of your HAND
The works of your hand is the Ability that God placed within you

Deut 8:18 – It is My ability that makes you Prosperous

Be a Persistent & Hard Worker & you will have VICTORY all the time, EVERYTIME

6. Learn to analyze DETAILS
Analyze Details – all the time.
Analyzing is not demonic, it is simply giving you clarity & confidence in what you are attempting to do.

7. Focus your TIME .
TIME & TIDE waits for no one. It is on the move to another day.
Lost Time cannot be found
You can rewind your CLOCK – never your time
8. Innovation – dare to be DIFFERENT .
Don’t let someone else create your world – if you do, they will usually create it too small.
Someone else’s opinion of you does not have to become your REALITY.

The cheapest thing to do is to think.
If we do not do what IDEA we have in our MINDS, we become the salve to someone else’s THINKING.

9. Learn to COMMUNICATE with people EFFECTIVELY
Communication is from the Heart to ones EAR. Once released must enter an EAR with or without permission.

So make sure what you communicate, it is effectively done, because you never know whom you are ATTRACTING and changing without permission.

10. Be dependable – take RESPONSIBILITY .
DEPENDABILITY is about you being the most important Person, yet the MOST Responsible Person to help others become better.

CONCLUSION To be the MOST person you can be:

M = MOTIVATION “I spent a fortune on a trampoline,
A stationary bike and a rowing machine
Complete with gadgets to read my pulse,
And gadgets to prove my progress results,
And others to show the miles I’ve charted –
But they left off the gadget to get me started!”
Denis Waitley, Being the Best

O = OPPORTUNITY “An opportunist is someone who, upon finding
himself in hot water, decides he needed a bath anyway.” – Unknown
“One today is worth two tomorrows.” – Benjamin Franklin
“Opportunity takes ‘now’ for an answer.” – Unknown
“No great man ever complains of want to opportunity.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

S = SKILL People won’t go along with you unless they get
along with you.

The world is “owned” by people who SOLVE problems.
The spirit of a SERVANTHOOD makes the individual
valuable.

T = TEAMWORK  If you get to the top alone, you didn’t climb a very high hill.

Gideon’s & the WOMAN’S life changed because they saw OPPORTUNITY IS NOW HERE

It’s all in the way you look at it.

What do the following letters say to YOU as a READER or LISTENER
OPPORTUNITY IS NOWHERE
