Seeds of Destiny (Daily Devotional)

Friday, 11 September 2015
A LIFE OF STRATEGY

SCRIPTURE: The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city” – Ecclesiastics 10:15.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who think do not sink; those who think cannot stink.

Strategy, simply, is the process of planning or putting a plan into operation in a skillful way. Strategy also implies putting your mind to work.

It may interest you to know that nothing works out when the mind is not at work. The reason a mad man is not employable or cannot vote or be voted for is because his mind is not working.

The quality of your mentality determines the dignity of your destiny. The truth of the matter is, those who think do not sink; those who think cannot stink.

Beloved, let’s have a view of some of the things that strategy can do for a person.

1.Strategy eliminates struggles: The shortage of strategy is the reason for the abundance of struggles in life. That is, where strategy is lacking struggles continue; and knowing the right strategy for executing a task eliminates sweat. Strategy, therefore, eliminates sweats and struggles in life.
You may have a call to go into full time ministry, business etc. The call may be genuine but it cannot be as wonderful as when strategy is employed and the know-how of it is known.

2.Strategy expedites success: Strategy fast-forwards success, it expedites, accelerates and facilitates success.
There is a strategy behind every successful venture in life. Every successful marriage, for instance, involves the coming together of a strategic man and a strategic woman. People who put their minds to work make their homes work.

Beloved, the summary is, nothing is permitted to be successful until someone has decided to be strategic.

Remember this: Those who think do not sink; those who think do cannot stink.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1.Consciously make a TO-DO list on a daily basis to ensure smooth running of your daily life.
2.Strategize before embarking on a task or project.
