Anything in life that a person is going to be successful at, it is going to take commitment and our Christian walk is no different.
When we accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts, we agreed to a lifelong service to do his will. Commitment means failure is not an option and a person has to make up in their own minds that this is the case. This is why the Bible states: Php 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling. Php 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. When a person realises who they are in Christ, then commitment should follow as the natural course of action: Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them . Commitment means you do what you know you should be doing no matter what people say: Noah for 120 years preached to people to warn them of the impending flood and they all looked on him as if he were crazy, but as a result his whole family were saved. Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; The easiest thing to do for a person who starts something, is to quit when things get a bit tough and that is why the bible says,” Many are called but only a few are chosen. It is not how you start the race, but it is how you finish it. God knows everyone that is going to be saved. The people who quit their Christian faith it did not take God by surprise, he already knew that and those who come back to faith, he knew that too. 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brothers beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth, 2Th 2:14 to which He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Commitment results in a reward: 1Co 2:9 But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." So how committed are you to God? And how does that reflect in your life style? That is a question only you can answer and God can know! Parallel Principles We are in a business that unless a person is committed to their own success, they will not be. Many people fail in a home based business, but then again many people failure in traditional businesses. Many people failure in marriages, Jobs, Activities, Goals, Courses, etc etc The reason why they failed is because they quit, they either quit themselves or they quit someone else, either way that failure was because of a lack of commitment. The amazing thing is the people that do fail in those areas would never look at themselves as the problem, but it would always be someone else’s fault or the fault of something else. In our business everything has been put in place for a person to be successful, but people quit all the time and they will continue to quit, it just human nature. However there will be a reminant of people who are committed to their own success, who will stay the course and those are the people you are looking for and want to run with. The Company, Products and Comp Plan will never let you down, however you can let yourself down. So the question is how committed are you to your own success? That is a question only you can answer and God can know! ******************************************************** Jason Gregory Busines Coach & Mentor www.team-visionarys.com ********************************************************

It is amazing the difference one individual can have on the world, the ripple effect that can come from one person’s activities can go on for years.
These effects can be positive or negative depending on the choices of that individual. Our world right now is full of ripple effects generated by individual’s choices, from generational curses to generational blessings, from economic collapse to religious ignorance. All of these started from individual choices. You see the power of one has been here from the beginning of creation. In Genesis the first family decided to disobey God and the ripple effect is we live in a fallen world. A brother (Cane) decided to murder his brother (Abel) over worship and the ripple effect is religious wars have be going on for centuries. (Gen 4: 3-8) One man Nimrod decided he was going to build cities and create a following of people so they could come together and do things that could rival God, (Gen 11). The ripple effect is over the centuries there has always been men hell bend on world domination trying to unite people together in a common cause which is against the plan of God. Then on the flip side of the bad choices, men decided to make good choices: Noah listened to God and build a boat on dry land and also preached to the people for 120 years about a coming disaster. He did not care about their opinions, he was just obedient to God. The ripple effect is all his family got saved from the disaster and we have a populated world today. One man decided to step out in faith (Abraham), leave his homeland and trust God. The ripple effect is a nation was birthed, which became God’s chosen people, through which God could develop and separate to himself, so that he himself could prepare a way in which he could come into our experience, to redeem us back to himself because of the bad choices of the first family. Heb 10:5 Therefore when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You have prepared a body for Me. The ripple effect is that every human being, if they choose to can be saved because of the selfless sacrifice and precious blood of Jesus our messiah. That is the power of One! Parallel Principals As an individual, through your choices you have the power to change your life completely around or you have the power to hold your life completely back. You also have the ability through your choices to affect many other people’s lives as well. The most frustrating part of building our Reliv businesses is, we see everyday people who need our products or need a financial breakthrough, that building our business can provide, but because of their bad choices, they will never be helped. Many times that is the hardest thing for people who are new to deal with. However there are people out there who are seriously looking for a change, looking for the product they can take to impact their condition, or looking for that business opportunity that can change their family’s life. Now if you let the negativity of the person making the bad choices stop you from building your business, you will never be able to have an impact on the person actively looking. You could be the one person who God could use to change a family’s life. We build our business one person at a time and we help to change people’s health, one customer at a time. Just image if all you did is get one customer and one distributor a month every month, what would happen to your business? Now that is the power of ONE! ************************************************** Jason Gregory Business Coach & Mentor www.team-visionarys.com ************************************************************ |
