Success is not automatic. It is not of a sudden flight, but a product of desire. There must be a strong desire, deep down within you to succeed. That is where it all starts!Success starts with a desire. Likewise progress and victory. What you never desire, you will never have. It is desire that will give birth to strong praying and a vigorous pursuit of the object desired.Provided your desire is legitimate and scriptural, God would always give you the desires of your heart. The Bible makes this clear and plain.‘Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart’ Psalms 37:4. Jesus Christ our Lord emphasized the importance of a strong, relationship, Godly desire in prayer. Hear what He said:‘What things so ever that ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them’ Mark 11:24Every answered prayer began with a desire.A lot of people are failures in life simply because they don’t have a desire to succeed.A lot of people remain stagnant because they are satisfied with where they are and they never desire anything better. God wants you to have a wholesome desire for progress. He really wants you to move on.A deep desire therefore is your first step towards progress.Psalm 8:4-5 And with Christ in you, you can do all things, and you are more than a conqueror.Rise up beloved. Let a strong, positive desire of faith rise up within you. And, friend go for it. ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.’ Philippians 4:13.
