Winning 101 by Van Crouch
The Jabez Prayer
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
“Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my
territory,
That Your hand would be with me,
And that you would keep me from evil
That I May cause no pain!”
So God granted him what he requested
1Chronicles 4:10
Whatever the dream God has given you, act upon it! Where God
calls, he always provides- the power, strength, energy, finances and courage
you need to fulfill the dream.
The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants
from life is merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is
possible. Do you believe in the fire that God has kindled within you? Do you
care “like blazes” about something? Then burn the midnight oil with your own
zeal and God’s wisdom and go about making your dream a reality.
You are about to experience a turning point. Stay in the game~ its
too soon to quit. Always remember that storms come for a reason, and they come
only for a season. Discover what you are to learn through the storm and then
weather it out.
As you grow and mature, God will reveal more of your dream
and you will begin to see the big picture. You may have to amend your dream.
Even if that happens, continue to believe what God has planted in tour heart.
He would not have called you to the “other side” if he had not intended for you
to arrive there. God has a purpose in your arriving also—and it will always
include blessing someone in need.
The first step toward changing the quality of your life is
to believe that it is possible to do so! The second step is to find those who
can help you get there and who will root for you along the way.
What you get by reaching your destination isn’t nearly as
important as what you become by reaching that destination.
Anyone who thinks they are a leader and doesn’t have anyone
following them is just out for a walk.
Success lies in forming the habit of doing things that
failures don’t like to do
When your interested in something you do it only when it is convenient,
When your committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
Ask God to help you identify and then build on your
strengths. Ask Him to help you find assistants and friends who can compensate
for your weakness.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small
matters compared to what lies within us.
When you are making a success of something, its not work. It’s
a way of life. You enjoy yourself because you are making your contribution to
the world.
The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are going!
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so many people
don’t recognize them!
A young man who was held back a year in school was labeled “mentally
handicapped.” Fortunately for him, one of the people he encountered was a man
name LeRoy Washington. He was known for his powerful presence and kind
reputation. Mr. Washington noticed the young man who attended his classes without
ever being enrolled.
One day he called
upon the young man to write something on the board. “I can’t do that, sir”, he
said. Why not? The teacher ask. The
youth was embarrassed to admit that he was in the special education class. “It doesn’t’
matter,” Washington said. “Go to the board and follow my instruction.” The
youth said, “I can’t. I am educable mentally retarded.”
Washington seized
the moment. He arose from his desk, gazed long and hard at the young man and
said, “Do not ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to
become your reality.”
“In that moment,
Les Brown says, “my life began to follow a new course.”
