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 ********************************************************
