NEVER KNOWN FAILURE
The God of heaven has never known and will never know any failure. Through the ages, the God we serve has been successful in all His undertakings. He has never known a single failure or defeat. You will discover that during the time of creation. God recorded explosive success. He created man perfectly. In fact, all the things which God created were perfect. In other words, there was no iota of defect, failure or shortcoming in the work of creation. Read this glorious and explosive success story.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
One of the greatest evil thoughts and confessions which can ever be thought in this world by any one is to think and admit that one is a failure. Never and never relegate yourself to the background. Failure must never be associated with you.
How can you be a failure, when your heavenly father is a symbol of successful achievement. You are supposed to record successes repeatedly, not failure. Empty your mind of the wrong mentality of being a failure. You are never one!
Since you have read it yourself that God beheld everything He created and saw everything in its perfect state, you have discovered that God obtained more than a pass mark. Being a creature of God, you should also aim at excellence. All the things you lay your hands upon must be blessed and successful. You have to start breaking records and not counting failures. The hand of God will come upon your life, and God will set your feet in the platform of great achievements. You will exceed every record set by anyone in the past if you think, admit and all it in Jesus’ name.
Explosive success cannot be hidden. It is always in the full glare of the public. You will discover that when there is an explosion or eruption anywhere, attention is drawn to such a place. Likewise, you cannot have
explosive success without people coming to see. Explosive success will place you on the highway of upliftment and unprecedented breakthroughs. It will lead to a change of status.
God wants you to have explosive success that will shake the foundation of the world. Success just like healing is the children’s bread. Explosive success is reserved for exceptional people who believe in Jesus Christ, and in the power of God. Explosive success comes on your way, when you are in good and unbroken relationship, with the King of kings and Lord of lords. Just prepare your mind for the showers of explosive success, because I can hear the sound of abundance of rain upon your head.
Nowadays, before you can open or check your e-mail box, you need to have a password. In fact, there are some electronic gadgets that may not open to you if you do not know the right password. Thus, you must have the right password in order to plunge into the ocean of breakthroughs. Without a valid password, you may not be given access to browse through the website of explosive success.
You may ask me, what is the major password? It is simple and straight forward. It is just nine-word letter. The password to explosive success is SALVATION. Are you surprised? You don’t have to. Salvation will grant you access to the giver of explosive success. If you have been genuinely saved, thank God. If not, you must go to God for that heart-felt experience, which will set your feet on the road to great success.
Maybe, you are wondering, why there are many unsaved people who are successful. The answer to that puzzle is direct. You cannot have an all-encompassing success, without passing through the gates of repentance and salvation. All round success covers all ramifications of life. Success entails succeeding, spiritually (which is the ultimate), physically, financially, and materially.
Let me make a point here. Any success obtained or attained outside God is ephemeral, temporary and short-lived. It is more or less like no success at all. Why? The reason is that such a success will soon land you in hell! Success without God is satanic, and will soon become sorrow and sadness. It is only the success from the One, who has known no failure, that will
place you on the pedestal of peace, pleasure and prosperity. It is the will of God for you to blossom in success. He can do it for you, and He will do it. The blessing of God is unabridged with sorrow.
The Bible says:
Proverbs 10:22: The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Surely, explosive success is like gold. It is saddening to tell you that it is not everybody, who will be able to obtain this type of success. Have you ever taken time to think about the class stratification, that exists in the world? You will always see the rich and the poor. The educated and the illiterate. The favoured and the disfavoured. That is how it has been from ages. That is what will continue to obtain, till the world will come to an end.
You will have to make a choice, whether to be rich or to be poor. Explosive success is meant for everybody, but it is not everybody that will have it. It is only those, who have the keys to opening the door of successful achievement that will become successful There is no doubt in my mind that, if you can put all the success nuggets that will be laid bare before you to work, success will be your portion, in Jesus’ name. You are highly privileged to read this book because you will soon become a candidate of brilliant and extraordinary success.
KEY TO EXPLOSIVE SUCCESS
Before you can have access to a treasure chest, you need to have the key.
It is the key that will open the door of treasure to you.
In the same vein explosive success is reserved for people who are ready to pay the price of getting the key. You are advised to follow through the keys, that will open a flood gate of successful achievements to you. These keys are all outlined in the subsequent pages of this book.
Divine favour
In the spiritual realm, anointing makes the difference. But, in the realm of successful achievements, it is divine favour that rules the day. It is not just by mere stress or struggle that you become successful but divine favour is the key. The measure of divine favour sets a demarcation between two people. That is why you must pray a very important prayer, that God should baptize you with the spirit of divine favour. It is divine favour that will make you to obtain success without stress and on a platter of gold, for that matter.
I boarded an aeroplane one day, and I saw a childhood friend of mine. I knew him to be Okonkwo, but I was surprised, when somebody called him “Alhaji”, and he answered. I became inquisitive and I decided to ask him, why he was addressed as “Alhaji.” He simply told me that I should not mind them, that he only wanted to win a contract.
When you are clothed with the garment of divine favour, you do not need to be diplomatic or tell a lie before you get what you need.
What does it mean to obtain divine favour?
To have divine favour is to experience open heavens all the clays of your life. This is irrespective of your present situation or geographical location.
To have divine favour is to be preferred above others.
Divine favour will fetch you God’s approval. Once you have God’s approval, the approval of man becomes insignificant, because one with God is more than the majority.
It is through divine favour that you get God’s preference. Gracious kindness from above will come on your way, when you have divine favour.
Divine favour brings about exchange. You need not fight your battle, the host of heaven will fight the battles of life on your behalf.
Having advantage over others will only come through divine favour.
Divine favour leads to the abiding presence of the Lord.
When you have divine favour, heaven turns you to an essential commodity. You will discover that men and women will be competing to do you good. Aside from these, divine favour will grant you the acceptance of the Almighty.
Divine favour makes angels to stand at attention, and demons to tremble at the mention of your name.
To have divine favouris to have an overflow of God’s generosity over your life.
To have divine favour is to have divine delight. This will make heaven to make efforts on your behalf for your goals to be actualized. For you to have an explosive success, the first key is divine favour.
If you discover that you have not been having favour, this is the time to claim it back. You should take cognisant of the fact that without favour, you will be a failure in business.
Divine favour is your possession, if you ask in faith. You can claim back the favour, which the enemy has stolen from you. If the enemy has given you the label of a slave, you must erase it through the power of divine favour. Anywhere you go as a Christian, you are supposed to carry the glory and majesty of God upon your life.
Divine favour will attract promotion, provision and protection over your life. The Lord is the giver of promotion.
The Bible says:
Psalm75:6: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
God is marvellous. He does things that surpass human thoughts and understanding. Your failure and frustration can be turned into fulfilment. Do not be discouraged, or let the voice of the devil frustrate you. God works beyond human imagination.
If you have been battling with failure in any area of your life, be it academic, financial, marital or spiritual, I have a good news from the God
who can do all things. The I AM THAT I AM wants to intervene in your own case. The set time of your breakthrough, fulfilment has come. You will soon experience fulfilment.
God’s mighty hand will move you from the lowest estate to the realm where you will be atop. Get ready! The power of God will collide with evil powers bringing frustration into your life.
Divine favour opens the doorway, that leads to blessings. This is what characterises the life of someone to whom the Almighty God has given divine favour. God can turn a hopeless situation to a point of reference, where men will open their mouth in unbelief. In fact, it is very possible for God to defy the laws of nature in order to work wonders in the life of his favourites. It is indeed good to become the favourite of God! If God be for you, who can be against you?
I want to share with you an instance of God’s favour upon my life.
There was a time, when I needed employment. The only prayer point I had was on divine favour. I took the prayer point aggressively. Only 17 people were short listed for that interview. Thus, I was the first person to be called in. As I was about to sit down, the people conducting the interview looked at each other and later asked me my name. I told them and I was told that I could leave. I was so surprised.
Others, who came for the interview wanted to know the questions they asked me, but I simply told them that I was asked no single question except my name. They were all surprised, when I told them, that I was not interviewed.
However, all other candidates went in for the interview. Eventually, my name was called. As I entered, I was asked, when I wanted to start the job. That was divine favour. Getting a job, even without an interview, is an evidence of divine favour.
Come out of your Egypt
Egypt, to the children of Israel, represented the land of slavery and bondage. To them, Egypt was the land of hardship and suffering. Thus, God
commanded them to completely come out of their Egypt.
Exodus 3:21-22 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty: But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon yours sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
There is one important truth, which I want to show you in the two verses you have just read. The truth is that, every man or woman, who will completely leave his or her Egypt, will receive divine favour. Every Christian ought to carry the power and the presence of God, because wherever you go as a Christian, favour is supposed to follow you.
Joseph had favour with God, and this made him to be in favour with men.
As a result, men saw everything he did to be good and well pleasing.
The Bible says:
Genesis 29:23: And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
Joseph was a slave. Daniel was a captive in a strange land. These two did not lose sight of God. They continued in steadfastness and holiness. This brought them the blessing of explosive success as a result of their steadfastness with God and divine favour.
Let me give you a formula at this time. Ignorance is deadly and dangerous. It leads to hardship, humiliation and wasteful struggling. Whatsoever good things you lay your hands upon, the stand of the Bible is that you must prosper.
Govern your thought
Explosive success cannot be discussed, without laying emphasis on the thought processes. The thoughts of your heart can lead you into success, or failure. You can create a future for yourself, through your thought processes and you can also pull down your future, through your personal thoughts.
It is quite unfortunate that many have allowed the enemy to manipulate their thoughts. When this is done, failure will always be the portion of such a one. Immediately you allow the devil to take control of your thought processes, you become enslaved to failure. No matter how smart and intelligent you are, if your thought processes are controlled by the devil, you will know no success. The devil will use your smartness and intelligence to work against you.
Do you know that thinking is the ultimate means of creation? Before anything will come into being, such must have gone through series of processes in the thought realm.
The Bible says:
Proverbs 23:7: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
A product does not just come out, without being subjected to proper thought. It is the power of thought that brings about creation. Before man became a living being, the Trinity thought about it. The Almighty God saw the need for man’s creation, and held a conference with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, before man’s creation became a reality.
The Bible says:
Genesis 1:26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Right from the time of creation, the work of creativity has been given to man. In other words, the God of creation committed the work of creativity to man, His creature. That is why, your creative instincts must not die with you. The houses around you did not come into reality of their own accord. The design of any house is a product of the thinking faculty of man. Everything you see around is a product of the thought processes of some people.
It also follows that everything around you can be brought under the control of your thought process. It is your thought life that will determine the altitude you will attain in the area of successful achievement. If you limit your thoughts to your local environment, you will become a local champion. Whereas, if you move your thought to the international realm, be sure of becoming an international gem to be reckoned with globally.
It is your thought life that shows the true person in you. If you think that your home will break, it will break. If you begin to think that you will not make profit, you will never make profit. If inferiority complex rules and dominates your life you will become inferior. Also, if your thoughts are rebellious and dirty, you will become rebellious and dirty. If your thought is centred on failure, you will fail. If your thought is ugly, you will become ugly.
There is power in imagination. You can either break, or build with your imagination. In fact, imagination can mir or make your future. Positive imagination is constructive while wrong imagination is destructive. God knows the power of imagination, and the devil recognizes this. That is why God acted fast to compound the evil imagination of men, while they were building the Tower of Babel.
Genesis 11:5-6: And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 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.
It is not good, to allow bad thoughts to rule your mind. Evil thought processes can destroy and pull anyone down. It can even lead to frustration, failure and untimely death.
As a Christian, you need not to be moved by any situation and circumstances that may be unpalatable. You should learn to hold on to God, and His word, when you are confronted by negative situations in life. Life is full of vicissitudes. You must anchor your life on the Rock that can never fail. Men can promise, but they may never fulfil it. That is what make a man finite. It is only upon God, that you should rest your faith. If you do not rest your faith on God, the storms of life might make you sink.
There was a time, when a sister was in distress, and had to be carried to the church. She was paralysed. What was the problem? A day to her wedding, the man who was supposed to many her sister, just came and rocked the boat. He clearly told the sister, that he was no longer interested.
To aggravate the matter the lady who snatched her husband was her Chief bride’s maid. The sister was perplexed and distressed. She decided to drug herself. She swallowed half a bottle of Valium! This made her to be in a state of coma. As she was carried to the fellowship, I was surprised to see her at that state. She then managed to tell me. “G. O, let me die!” I told her don’t die, how can you die?” That same day. I made a prophetic statement to her. “The day I see you getting married, I will laugh at you.”
Much later, what I said came to pass. The day she got married, I saw her dancing happily, and I reminded her. “If you had died on that day, would you have been here today?”
There are some people, who never get out of that kind of situation. A sister, who was abandoned by her husband, went everywhere, saying that “All men are devilish and dangerous.” Beloved, need not to arrive at that kind of conclusion. God knows your plight. He cares for you and wants the best for your life. Certain circumstances may come your way as a test. You only need to lean on the everlasting arms of God, and He will see you through.
There are certain situations that look impossible and gloomy. Do not worry, the power of God will bring you back to the path of rectitude. You will smile, and testify to the fact that God is good, and that He will never let down those who trust in Him. Do not allow the devil to destroy your future but look at the future; see the future with your eyes of faith.
Now what do you see in your future? Do you see prosperity or lack, joy or sorrow, happiness or sadness, success or failure? Can you see promotion or demotion? If your answers are positive, why then must you go about with a long face, as if you are bearing the burden of the whole world? Just put on a smile, because the God of heaven will come to your rescue.
Let me tell you one secret today. Many things can go wrong in any area of your life, but the most terrible thing that can ever happen to you is to allow the devil to take control of your mind. One interesting thing is that whatever happens, God has made man a free moral agent. In other words, you can decide on what you want to allow. You have the power to decide or chose what you want.
But the human mind is one of the greatest vagabonds on earth. You need to therefore, take time to control it. Do not allow your mind to become filled with evil. Do not allow satanic cobwebs in your thought. If your mind is not free from evil influences, you may become a candidate of hell fire. All free-thinkers are merely thinking for the devil. Your mind should be filled with godly thoughts. If you have an open mind, you are only setting the stage for the devil to take control. If you can capture the thoughts of a mad person, you can control him. That is why satan fights seriously to see that he controls the mind.
There are about eight things that God wants you to meditate upon. Any other thoughts beside these are from the devil. They must be kicked away. The eight things are highlighted below.
Philip. 4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Control your time
It is well said that a fool can waste money. But, the greatest fool will waste time. You have to focus on planning your time. Cultivate the habit of planning how to spend your time, a night before the day begins. Before you go to sleep, try to schedule, or plan your programmes for the following day.
Ephes. 5:16: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
An indispensable key to explosive success, is proper time management. Both the rich and the poor have access to the same amount of time. The only difference is that the rich maximizes the use of their time better than the poor. I implore you to make proper use of your time.
Observe your quiet time
Quiet time is the consecrated time you set apart, or devote for seeking the face of God. In order to experience explosive success in life. You must be an early riser who calls upon the name of God, for strength to face the day. It is through regular and consistent quiet time that you receive grace and favour from God. This will open your doors of breakthroughs and success.
During your quiet time, you pray to God and study the Bible. By this, you are sure of overcoming the barriers of success. Jesus Christ our Saviour never played with His quiet time, we have it on records that He observed His quiet time regularly.
Mark 1:35: And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Do not face any day, without taking control through prayer. Set aside the first hours of the day for talking with God. Hear instructions from Him. Do not be among extremely busy believers, who skip their quiet time, under the pretence of busy schedules.
You need to watch and guard jealously every access road into your life. In life, you can come across various kinds of people.
One, those who add to your life. Two, those who divide you. Three, those who decrease you, and Four those, who multiply God’s grace upon your life.
Do not allow the people, who can decrease you gain access to you. Do not allow everybody to gain access to you. Whatever will not build you, or make you succeed, must be knocked off. Whosoever will not want to encourage your faith, must be avoided. Anybody, who ridicules you, must not be allowed to come close to you
Your association will determine your achievement. The kind of friend you keep, will either help, or hamper your life. You must also live a purposeful life. We are all at the market square of life, where everything beckons on your attention. If you have ever visited a typical market square, you would
have discovered that there is a lot of noise there. Different people with different goods, displaying their products. You are the one to decide, on what exactly to buy.
There are different areas of life to watch. You must watch what you see, what you hear, the things you read and what you think. Your sight, hearing, mind and thoughts must be properly controlled, as to make you wholesome.
Face the future
Another key to unlocking the door of explosive success is the ability to forget the past, in order to face the future. Do not ruminate over past failures. Look inwardly, and decide to face the hurdles and challenges of the present moment. If you continue to think about past failures and disappointments, you will never get anywhere.
There is what is called the rear mirror anointing. When driving a car, there is usually a mirror by the side of the driver. This is what the driver normally makes use of to see the back. If the driver should concentrate on the rear mirror, he might crash the car. Do not focus on the past. If you do, you will pass away with the past. Never allow your yesterday to spoil your today. Today is in God’s hands. You may pass away like the past, when you focus on the past. It is God that gives vision, what the devil gives is confusion.
The Bible says:
Isaiah 43:18-19: Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
