Make That Move
by Chinedum Azuh The text for this write-up is from 2 Kings 7:3-10. It is the story of 4 Lepers who decided to do something about their situation. If you fold your hands and refuse to make that move your success will be stopped, stagnated and kept in one level. You are where you are at this level because you have refused to do something about the situation. Do Something If You Want To Achieve Something If you do nothing, nothing happens. If I don't work nothing works. You are the creator of your own world, the architect of his own destiny, the captain of your own ship. Your destiny is in your hands. No matter how holy you are if you refuse to do something about that situation the situation can't change. You are the only one that can make something good or something great out of your life. Nobody else will do it for you. Now listen to this; they were at a spot, one level of business and one level of finances for a long time until they realized that nothing will change until they do something. That situation has not changed because you have refused to do something about it, and until you do something about it nothing will change. Change Your Strategy And Change Your Life If you keep on doing what you have been doing you will keep on getting what you have been getting .If you keep praying the way you have been praying you keep getting the same result you've been getting over the years. If you keep on giving the way you have been giving you'll keep receiving the way you've been receiving. Your finances have remained the same over time because you have been giving the same thing over time. A wise man said, it is insanity to keep doing a particular thing the same way, repeatedly and expect a better result. If you want a change, if you want progress, if you want success you must change your strategy. You must change your style and your way of doing things for you to get a better result. Success has not come because you have refused to change your strategy. You can't be giving God peanuts every Sunday and expect to be a millionaire. It can't work that way. You can't be in the house by 10am everyday without doing anything for your business and expect business success. Don't expect success in business in the 21st century if you are doing business like your grandfather. The four lepers said to themselves, why do we keep doing what we have been doing and expect a better result? They decided to make a change and their lives changed forever. What You Sow Is What You Reap The Bible says, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, he reaps" This principle is applicable to every facet of life; you cannot sow rice and expect to reap maize. If you sow idleness you reap poverty. If you sow diligence you reap greatness. Don't Allow Your Condition To Determine Your Position The lepers got to a point that they discovered that they have allowed the condition of their lives to determine their position. Don't allow your condition to determine your position. Don't allow your background to keep you down. Refuse to be trapped by your background. You can get to any destination in life no matter where you are coming from. A Thousand Miracles Happen When You Move When you make a move, a thousand and one miracles happen but when you refuse to make a move nothing happens. God will not show you the whole picture of your destiny. It will unfold as you take bold steps. That you don't have cash in your pocket is not enough reason why you should be afraid to propose to that Lady. You want a Million Naira to start a business? It might not come until you start with that Ten Thousand Naira in your hands. The four lepers never knew that they will come in contact with wealth but because they took bold steps, they came in contact with wealth, riches, gold, silver and food in abundance. There Is Risk Everywhere There is risk everywhere. It is risky whether you want to be a civil servant or an entrepreneur. It is risky to marry and also risky to remain single. If you relocate from Nigeria to America you will also meet with challenges. During my speaking tour in Accra, Ghana, I saw young Nigerians selling Sachet Water. These young chaps left Nigeria to a Country they thought that there will be no challenges. There is risk everywhere. This knowledge will motivate you to do what you can with what you have from wherever you. Take Calculated Risk Taking calculated risks means that you will take risks with your brain at work. Look before you leap. That I said that there is risk everywhere does not mean you should jump into anything without your brain. It is risky to marry but it is better to marry a Christian than getting married to a heathen. Getting married to a Christian is taking calculated risk but marrying a heathen is taking risk without your senses. When you venture into a trade you have knowledge of, you are taking calculated risk. But when you venture into a trade you little or no knowledge of, you are taking risk with your senses. Go Where Opportunities Are Your prosperity is determined by opportunities. Go where opportunities are. Let your movement and plans everyday be programmed with opportunities in mind. Out of the 3 options the four lepers had, they chose the one with opportunities and possibilities. Your life will always be richer and better if it is consistently programmed by opportunities and possibilities. Go where what you are looking for will be found. What is your business with people that can't contribute to your destiny? If you are looking for gold, go where gold can be found, if you are looking for silver, go where silver can be found and if you are looking for marriage move with men that are ready for marriage. Life is very cheap if you know how to handle it. Plan every activity of the day with success, opportunities and prosperity in mind. Those who are in need of golden connections and contacts don't move aimlessly. How do you spend time daily? And the lepers said to each other let us go to the camp of the Syrians where there are possibilities. Maximize The Moment Maximize every opportunity. Make proper use of today. Each season has its opportunities maximize it. That relationship has its opportunities, maximize it. That business has its blessings, maximize it. One of my relatives had a political position some years ago. During his 2 years in this, he stayed in a hotel and slept with all manner of women. He did not achieve anything. Today he looks so miserable and horrible. His life is so terrible because he refused to maximize his moment. He refused to make proper use of his season. Make proper use of today. Today will not come again in your entire life if wasted. Maximize your time. Do things at their proper time. The lepers made proper use of their season. God Has A Part In Your Gold And the lepers said to each other, this is a day of good news and if we fail to reveal this, a punishment may come upon us. When you eat your money alone you attract divine punishment and attract disaster to your life. Any money God has no part in has no divine insurance. You have not reached the level God has planned and programmed for you because you are selfish and self centered. If you refuse to give the Lord His part in what you are getting, you are attracting his wrath. Your destiny is in your hands. Make up your mind to make that move because until you do something, nothing happens. When you keep doing what you have been doing, you keep getting what you have been getting. There is risk everywhere but that does not mean you will take risk without your brain. Don't allow your condition to determine your position. Go where opportunities are, maximize the moment and remember that God has a part and a lot in what you have. Make that move! This article is Culled from the book "Unlimited Success".
