Success is not money, success is a dream

God is alerting someone today

to the great fact that an unbroken focus is the master key to accomplishments.

That is why you must deal with that voice telling you to give up because God is delaying you.

Failure can be divided into two: those who thought and never did (act) and those who did but never persisted. It is wisdom to balance both. The greatest obstacle to your success is not money or the devil.

Some people always make statements like

“I would have been successful, if I had enough money to pursue my ideas and dreams. Or a popular saying most people from my country Nigeria usually say;

“I would have been great in life but witches from my family would not allow me".

What do you think all successful people have in common? I expect the general answer to be money! If that was your answer then you have just scored a big F. Money is not the determinant of successful people. Money is the by-product of success not the other way round.

Jesus of Nazareth was very successful, yet he was not physically a multi-billionaire. Mother Theresa of India was a major success; but she was not a rich woman.

If Mother Teresa were to go on TV at 7am in the morning on any day

to make a worldwide apple for 100 million dollars, she would get it before 12noon. Is that not a successful person?

Money does not determine success,

but if you are successful,

you can have as much money as you need

Martin Luther King Jr was a major success, but he was not a rich man. Success is the ability to dream, to see things that are not yet a reality and see them as possibility.

To be able to dream, to be able to develop a vision for your tomorrow is success. Proverb 29:18 says

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Dreams are triggers of success.

On Sunday, September 13th 2015, the very popular Floyd Mayweather,

A WBC, WBA and ring weight and junior middle weight champion

had his last fight in boxing with his unbeaten runs reaching 49-0. He resigned, claiming that he had a greater goal than money in life.

Again, Mohammed Ali was and is a name which has become a puzzle in the boxing world.

He brought class and color into boxing his era as world boxing heavy weight champion brought boxing into a new world arena.

When asked during an interview

on how he was able to cause a revolution in the boxing industry

such that people flocked to see his fights, his reply was as;

“you see I learnt a long time ago that being good was simply not good enough. You've got to have imagination and you've got to dream".

No matter how things have been in your life, never lose your ability to imagine.

As long as there is life, there is hope

As long as you can still plan again, dream again and imagine where you want to be, you are a success waiting to happen. Success happen inside of a man before it shines on the outside.

Everyone is born with the ability/power to imagine things. Use your imagination to create this year. Genesis 11:6 says

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

That is the power of imagination. Don't allow the devil to sow seeds of discouragement in your mind. Resist him. Dream dreams that are bigger than you.

The greatest of your dreams is a proof that you cannot accomplish them without God. Plan big, imagine big things, trust big plant your dreams deep. Don't let the weeds of doubt; confusion, self pity and depression choke them. You are capable of unbelievable things if you allow your mind.

Never forget what Dexter yager said "if the dream is big enough, the facts on ground don't matter".

Plan-big, dream big, still pray-big and trust big because your God is big
