Here I am again
with “plenty words”. Really if I don’t share with you what I’m about to, I will
consider myself a very selfish person…
Anyways, it wasn’t Church as usual today as we
had a guest minister or lemme just say a Motivational speaker in person of Paul Martinelli: Internationally acclaimed speaker,
trainer and coach, the president of John Maxwell’s international team (http://www.paulmartinelli.net).
I’m just going to cut to the chase on the
points he gave on what I didn’t catch the heading ( I’m not sure if it was his fone*lol*
or I was talking at t the time- forgive me)but I bet it has to do with success…
They are 10 in number and I’m going to write here what I jotted down so here we
go:
1. HAVE
A BURNING DESIRE. This means having an all-consuming obsession. This is
basically falling in love with your dream. When you fall in love with your
dream, you become committed to it.
2. WHEN
YOU SEE IT, YOU MUST ACT! This brings you into a state of awareness of the next
step. It makes you ask the right questions e.g will this move me into the right
direction? This step needs prayer so you must connect to God.
3. You
have to find your YES. Here is a relentless pursuit of the people, condition
and circumstances necessary to fulfill your dream. People will probably tell you
NO because a lot of time your dream seems impossible , it can’t be done but you
must find your YES and forge ahead. Be in relentless pursuit of yes. Quit focusing
on what you don’t want.
4. DON’T
NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR DREAM. There is always a price to pay and you must be
willing to pay it. ‘Whatever it is you want’. Whenever you negotiate with you
dream, you lose.
5. YOU’VE
GOT TO BE CREATIVE. Focus on your possibilities
not you limitations and remember number 2 is key in this area.
6. CHALLENGE
YOUR OLD BELIEF (HABIT). Apart from the fact that a lot of us have been
programmed to do some things in a certain way, we have groomed ourselves also
and some habits will really not take us anywhere near success… Irrespective of
our background and country, we are spiritual beings so things should work in
our favour as children of God when we apply the rules so to speak. It means you
shouldn’t say because someone is in America things will work better for them
there NOPE… you are a spiritual being so you’ve got to believe that and get
going.
7. YOU
MUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP WITHOUT KNOWING THE OTHERS. This is no strange talk at
all because sometimes we analyse to the extent that the analyses cripples the
dreams; in our minds the vision weight us down. We must realize that knowing
how to do it doesn’t produce result BUT knowing WHY does. The vision should
reveal the how- Never allow the how to determine the vision.
8. REMEMBER
THE LAW OF SACRIFICE. In this case, you must give something of lesser value out
to get something of bigger value. It’s not about letting go but about making
decision i.e What is of higher value- We must remember what we feed grow while
the others die automatically. Selah
9.
SEE
YOURSELF IN POSSESSION OF THE PERFECTION you claim to want in your life (area
of significance). Here he quoted Proverbs 29:18

10.
CELEBRATE
THE VICTORIES ALONG THE WAY. Celebrating the victories helps strengthen the
purpose and this leads to expansion.
When you do this you remember it’s a journey
and you are moving into the proverbial promise land flowing with milk and
honey.
Before these 10
pointers, he did mention that
·
* Life
is a fight for territory (thoughts are very important and what you believe
about yourself is crucial to what you want to be in life)
* Awareness
comes with responsibilities
·
* You
can’t out-perform your belief. What you belief becomes you.
·
* Hearing
something over and over becomes true. Don’t feed yourself with trash and don’t allow
anyone feed you with it either.
Alright, that
is it. My Sunday Service in 10 pointers. Special thanks to my Pastor, Wale Adefarasin and Mrs. Lilian Adegbola and her team for bringing Paul Martinelli,, and my friend Enene for the picture *wink*.
Hope you had a
great time reading. Please spread the word.
Cheers>>>> L.O
