Jesus the Master Teacher and Business man gave us a very powerful, effective success formula.
In this success formula lies the key to great success for all areas of
our lives. Those who use it experience great success while those who
don't, experience great lack.
So, what is this success formula? This formula is found in Matthew 7:7
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"
Is this success formula guaranteed? Absolutely! God is not man that he should lie.
"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" Mathew 7:8
Let me pause here to ask you a few pertinent questions.
1. What is preventing you from asking?
2. What is preventing you from seeking?
3. What is preventing you from knocking?
Let's take a look at question # 2
What is preventing you from seeking?
Seeking takes action. Getting out of your comfort zone or resisting the spirit of complacency are two powerful actions you must take in order for you to achieve success. The word "seek' means to look. If you lose a ring, money, or whatever, you must get up and walk around and look for that which you have lost. If you need a job you must get up and make the call, write the resume. If you need business partners you must get out and look. Keep looking until you find.
Singles, get out of your home, go where the oranges are so to speak.
10 Steps to Overcome the Spirit of Complacency
1.Don't wait for things to happen. Get up and make them happen!
2.Associate yourself with vibrant, positive, ambitious individuals.
3.Set daily goals and take actions.
4. Invest in inspiring books on the subject.
5.Do daily self talk. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
6. Be assertive.
7. Be proactive.
8. Take care of yourself physically.
9. Listen to motivational tapes.
10. Ask God for guidance and strength.

***Powerful Success Secret #1
Jesus the Master Teacher and Business man gave us a very powerful, effective success formula.
In this success formula lies the key to great success for all areas of our lives. Those who use it experience great success while those who don't, experience great lack.
So, what is this success formula? This formula is found in Matthew 7:7
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"
Is this success formula guaranteed? Absolutely! God is not man that he should lie.
"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" Mathew 7:8
Let me pause here to ask you a few pertinent questions.
1. What is preventing you from asking?
2. What is preventing you from seeking?
3. What is preventing you from knocking?
Let's take a look at question 1.
The fear of rejection is the number one reason why many do not ask. Another reason is the spirit of pride. Are you afraid of hearing "no' when you ask? If this is true then you must get over your fear.
You must come to the place where hearing 'no' is not an indication of being rejected but an indication of progress that will lead you to the right answer . When you hear,"no" you must not stop asking, instead you must move on to the next. Keep asking until you receive. Be persistent.
Pride might be another reason why you resist asking.You don't want others to see you less than whom you perceive yourself to be. It takes humility to ask. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18
If not eliminated, these hindrances will prevent you from getting what you want or desire. Take action!
10 Ways to Overcome Rejection
1. Stop being a people pleaser.
2. Have confidence in yourself. You were wonderfully made by God. You are unique.
3. Be cognizant of the fact that people have the right to say "no'.
4.Forgive those who have hurt or rejected you in the past. Bless and release them.
5.Commit your ways to God and he will direct your path. Pray before asking.
6.Believe that you will receive when you ask.
7.Be as bold as a lion. Banish fear with faith. Faith in God can move mountains.
8. Consider the source of your rejection.
9. Don't be concerned about what others might think of you.
10. Love yourself. How can you love your neighbor if you don't love yourself?
