TAKE THAT ACTION

TAKE THAT ACTION


Today is Friday, the second day of the month of November 2007. It begins the first weekend of the month…. A lot of activities, events, and owambe have been lined up to make the weekend splendid. However, I want us to take a look at the past 10 months. ……January through to October ….. What have you achieved? Remember, one of the factors that will determine your level of achievements is the ACTION you take daily. So, I want us to take another look into why me must take action.

"It is good to dream, but it is better to dream and work. Faith is mighty, but action with faith is mightier. Desiring is helpful, but work and desire are invincible." – Thomas Robert Gaines



Now, when we pray to God for direction, we should expect that this answer will include an instruction to act. And we must be willing to act even before we pray. Do you remember, at the wedding in John chapter 2, the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to the waiters “Whatever he tells you to do, do it “ Remember, the waiters obeyed, a miracle occurred. It did! I think that is the secret to miracles –Whatever God says do, do it “. Make that move this week, and God will move on your behalf.


"It doesn't matter what you are thinking or what fear you have, if you just do it. Action is the only thing that matters…. I can see that at the end of my life, I'm going to look back and say, 'Gosh, I wish I had taken more action’." – Diana von Welanetz Wentworth

If you can produce results, you will be recognized any day, anywhere. And to be recognized you need to take action. I want you to consider this; that people judge us by our actions, not by our intentions. The world recognizes us, not for our efforts, but for the results we achieve. So we must be result- oriented. Henry Ford once said “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do. “ In other words, People are not as interested in what you plan to do as much as in what you have done with your plans.

As you step out today, grapple with each hour. Assault every minute. Make hay while the sun shines. Strike while the iron is hot. Today‘s opportunities may not be there tomorrow. Do that thing you have been anxious about. It may indeed be crucial to your destiny. Remember, Action subdues fear.

In John 13: 17, Jesus said; if ye know these things, happy are ye, if you do them”. Knowledge is only potential power. Knowledge that is accurately acted upon is power.


Take that step and God will grant you success today.

You will succeed.

Have a nice weekend.

Best regards!
