READ: Acts 10:30-35
“Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” – Galatians 6:7
In order to succeed, you must understand the very nature of a principle. Principles are not changed by circumstances. They are not altered with time. They are not even affected by your prayer and fasting. Principles are invisible rules that must be obeyed. If you break a principle, the principle will break you!
The law of gravity is one such principle. If you jump off the roof of a seven-storey building, you will die! You will die even if you are a Christian. You will die even if you are a spiritual person!
I believe in the reality of a principle. It is a reality, which many Christians do not want to face. Some feel that because they are Christians, they don’t have to study to pass exams. No matter who you are, you have to study hard if you want to pass your exams. It is a principle that applies to prayerful as well as non-prayerful Christians.
If you are a little observant, you will notice many examples of people who are successful. Some of these people are Christians; some are not. There are also many biblical examples of successful people. It is our duty as Christians to learn from all these examples. Dear friend, anyone who abides by the principles that God has established will experience success. Understand that success is not an accident. There is a road that leads to failure, and another that leads to success.
Please understand that a principle does not care who you are. It is in force whether you like it or not.
