"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us".
-Hebrews 12:1
"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come".
-John 16:13
Life would be very meaningful if ever we can do the how's: You should select your goal; unlock your potential, expose every hidden talent that you have; chart your course, be committed to Christ; expect the unexpected it is either a problem or a solution; stand on your own conviction and be surrounded to everybody with Christ.
Success for me is a very meaningful word. A passage in Hebrews, our Christian life was compared to a marathon. It is not a sprint in which we burn all our energy in a short space of time. It is a long distance race that lasts our entire lives and that must be run with great patience. In reality of life, we don't need to hurry everything. Though we say, 'life is too short' or 'time is gold'. What's important is that how we finish the race. We think that we will achieve our goals if we do things in our own strength. Someone once said, "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors got to wars with excitement and then seek to win".
It is impossible to speak about having a new beginning without the help of the Holy Spirit, regardless of how good our intentions, how excellent our plans, or how motivated we might be to do things. We cannot truly start over without the help of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the secret to Success is cultivating a friendship with the Holy Spirit.
How many times have we thought that doing the work of God simply means filling our minds with information and working tirelessly?
Jesus knew that our hearts as humans have been hardened and that a divine diamond blade is needed to be able to break through into peoples' lives. I will give you an illustration;
A worker at General Motors was trying to cut some new and incredibly strong metal. After several unsuccessful attempts, he took the metal to the general manager of the corporation, a well-known automobile engineer and inventor, to tell him about his dilemma.
He asked either he tried cutting it with the diamond or not. He said, he had not, but when he did try, he met with great success.
His manager told him, "it is not that the metal was too hard, but that our tools were not strong enough".
