Factors For Uncommon Elevation By Pastor Jehu Lepdung

You don’t rise by Chance, you work at it consciously. However certain factors must be in place to guarantee your Elevation.

1    1.  The Power of Planning: A Chinese Proverb say that a journey of a thousand mile begins with a step, therefore I believe planning is the first step of any journey in life. Only a mad man travels without planning. The Success of any journey is determined by the level of preparation put into it. 2Chronicles 27:6. The God whom we serve is the greatest planner. He gave Noah a Plan of how to build the ark. He also gave Solomon a plan of how to build the tabernacle.

A plan can be defined as the design of a step by step approach to achieve set goals. It could also be seen as a process of action in the quest to fulfill a dream. Luke 14:28

To Master your career, business or Home, sit down to plan. Planning gives Value to your enterprise. Minimum Plan brings minimum results and vice-versa. Your dream is dead without a plan. Without a plan, what you have is a mere Wish. No matter how lofty your vision is, if you don’t plan, you can’t actualize it. A plan forces you to think and project yourself into the future thus giving you control.

If you don’t think, you may stink. Planning helps you think ahead and reduce any uncertainties the future hold. Planning maximizes your resources and programe your life for success

  Steps to Planning:

(a)         Decide what you want; this should be done with prayers

(b)         Write it down

(c)         Outline the steps to achieve the goal

(d)        Develop a time frame for each step

(e)         Determine the cost price to pay and ask yourself if you are ready to pay it

(f)          Begin to take daily steps on your plan.

Note that planning is so important that people are employed and paid for that purpose. For instance, Nigeria has a whole Ministry dedicated to Planning.

2    2.   Self Discipline: Discipline is the crucial link between where you are and where you want to be. Information without discipline is total failure. 1Corinthians 9:25. Self discipline is about self control. Your greatest enemy is yourself not the devil. Your flesh(Self) doesn’t care about your vision; thus you must strive to conquer self.

Discipline Simply means control gained by following set rules. It is the expression of willpower over personal desires and natural inclination. Mike Murdock said, “successful people  do the things Failures don’t like.”

 Successful people are disciplined people. Galatians 4:1. Grow up, don’t be a child

How to develop Self Discipline:

1.   Do what you have to do to achieve your goal

2.   Ignore discouragement

3.   Resist Distraction

4.   Dump your excuses, because excuses are agents of abortion

Finally, note that your Seriousness to become great is only as serious as to how serious  you are disciplining yourself.   Selah!
