Yeah ... its amazingly simple. Just to recap the no.1. Make Hard work a habit.
The next logical step for me is to have faith. So what is faith.
Substance of things hoped for. Evidence of the unseen.
The only quality which I must possess to please God.
The whole Bible is one long narration of people who put their faith in God. God at different times and in various ways was pleased to put his promise to men and women.
Having faith is trusting in The God who cannot lie.
Cannot lie?? In his book. God said he withheld the results of his promise from all these men and women. Some of them even willingly chose not to accept his deliverance.
Because... they understood His Resurrection power. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of the living and not the dead.
These men were amazing. In my overly vivid imagination I can see them say while being torn apart by lions or whatever and telling the angel "Dont worry its only my body. Im still alive. I dont need to be delivered, Im going to have a better resurrection".
Understanding faith takes a lifetime. Having faith requires a transformation inside.
I think of all the things I practice faith is truly magical. I understand now. Jesus Christ was right.
He that believes in me. Though he were dead yet shall he live. If he is alive, he will never die.
Have faith in God and also in me. Nothing shall be impossible.

Gods 9 point plan for a Successful life
One of the key discoveries in my life was that God has a detailed success plan for my life. It is a highly systematic progressive plan in 9 easy steps.
Strangely it is easy to forget this plan. I would like to refresh my memory... stranger if you are reading this blog and want to really cover this plan in a hurry it is hidden in a best selling book called Da IPeterI Code.
I will begin with point 1, and cover the rest later...
Its called hard-work. Yeah, no success comes without it. You study the life of a famous athlete, a famous scientist, actually anybody who you want to emulate. You will see over and over, the commitment to achieve your dreams requires due diligence. But why does hard work not come easily to me. It requires a steady character and discipline. My body is human even though I am changed within by the last Adam, I still have the body given by the first Adam.
This requires food, exercise, sleep, as a basic stimulation.
Hard work is actually the communication path traversed by the inner desires of my spirit through my soul into the physical world and vice versa. This is the natural result of the fall of the first Adam. Initially the first Adam in the image of the Creator could speak and ordain things to be a certain way forever. This he did, naming the beasts in the Garden and naming his wife. After the fall the fruitfulness of the earth was restrained to respond only to his hard work.
So also the last Adam in the seed of the woman had to sweat it out in the Garden to bring back the fruitfulness of creation since the earth was cursed. This last Adam succeeded, and by my free will I let him reign in me as well. Now all the hard work required by me is to let him connect up this 9 point plan to success. Thats easy for me to say but not so easy to do.
Solomon the Wise advised all slackers to look at ants. I am to examine how without a Master they are able to execute work just as efficiently. Most ant farms do have a queen but look at this quote.
Ants of the Pristomyrmex pungens species do not construct a nest. Strangely, only worker ants of this species set up a kingdom without a queen or a male ant. All (female) worker ants are able to breed (female) worker ants. This remains a mystery.
Do ants have a conscience ? I don t know, but obviously they are able to work without someone overlooking their shoulder? The key step to success of all my dreams is to be able to work hard even if I don't have someone to discipline me. I have to learn to master myself.

The Holiness Factor
Well when discussing God, one fact always comes up. His holiness.
Thats a scary word.
It fascinates me that it can be fashionable to be a Christian.
It can be fashionable to sing gospel and play music.
It can be fashionable to be charitable and giving all your money to the poor.
It can be fashionable to believe in God, even the devil does that... and trembles.
But its never fashionable to be holy. Thats retro... whichever age I live in. Becoming Holy often means I cant fit in anywhere. People will wonder what I'm scheming, suspicious of anything alien by nature. What could be more alien to the human race than Holiness.
Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man can see the Lord. Without seeing the one who is invisible I cannot endure.
The pursuance of holiness is a critical factor to the endurance of my dreams.
Is it possible even to be holy in this world? Honestly I dont know. I only know the one who has called me has asked me to be holy as he is holy. What chance do I have to see his face. The angels who worship Him from the beginning of creation, do not even look at Him because of His Holiness. What wrong have they done who served him from when time began.
Is it even possible that I could be sanctified to the point where I see his face. I hope so... with all my heart. To permit the Holy Spirit to do the greatest work in my life. Every day I must decide again to pursue the greatest dream of all.
To be holy.
