COSTLY GREATNESS

BIBLE READING 

Mark 9:29

29.  And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

MEMORISE 

Ecclesiastes 11:4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

LESSON 

In my youth, I was committed to achieving  success. Though my family was considered the poorest in my village, I decided I was not going to die poor. I developed principles and values in line with the word of God that guided me to become who I am today. The truth is, no one becomes great accidentally or by wishful thinking. Greatness comes as a result of hard work, which would cost you your time, resources, money, sleep or comfort generally.Some of you sleep until 10:00a.m. whereas, your classmate woke up at 5:00a.m. and invested five hours developing other areas of his/her life. Do you think you will have the same output? No way!The same applies to spirituality; if you want God to use you mightily, you must deny yourself of many things and become committed to your continued growth. You cant afford to be lazy and allow greatness slip by you. Greatness doesnt come easily, so you have to work for it committedly.

POINT

A great person sees every mountain as a stepping stone to greatness.
