A Formula For Success

There four things we need that act as the foundation for success.

1) We Need Vision
We need to see clearly and specifically what it is that we are supposed to be doing or accomplishing. We need to know exactly what we are trying to accomplish. Sometimes that isn't easy when it comes to spiritual endeavors. But it is possible to know what God wants us to accomplish. God wants to clarify His vision for our lives. Philippians tells us God "works in us both to will and do of His good pleasure."

2) We Need Belief
Once we have a vision of what God wants us to accomplish, we need to believe that He will make it possible to fulfill that purpose. We must believe that He has given us the talents, abilities, and giftings to get the job done. We must believe that He has supplied the resources necessary to produce excellence. We must believe that the vision will be fulfilled and the job will be completed. The Bible teaches us that He "is the author and finisher of our faith." Also, the Scripture says, "I am pursuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him until that day." God is going to make sure that our dream comes true.

3) We Need Entusiasm
If we truly believe something, we will prove it by our attitude towards what we believe. We will be excited about it, deeply committed to it, and absolutely convincing about it.

4) We Need Passion
When we get a vision, when we believe in that vision, when we are enthusiastic about that vision, nothing will stop us from seeing that vision through. We are relentless because we are passionate. True fulfillment of our vision happens at the heart level. There is a fire in our soul that cannot be put out.

Get your vision, believe with all your heart, be enthusiastic, and pursue your dream with passion. You are guaranteed success.
