Philip.3v13-14: Brothers and Sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

It’s possible to accomplish your goals if you know the principles to deploy and this has been the focus of this series of teachings. I have shared 8 major principles with you so far and by His grace, I will be sharing 2 more principles with you today.

PRINCIPLES FOR ACTUALIZING YOUR GOALS:

9. Persist until you succeed. It takes perseverance to achieve your goals and aspirations in life. This is why you should never give up on your goals no matter the opposition or obstacles on your way. There are many trials in any success story. My advice to you is that if you fail or fall in your efforts in accomplishing your goals, get up again, try again. Keep on pushing, never say never! Success is not always on a platter of gold. Keep working on your goals, you will get there if you faint not. Don’t be discouraged if it seems you are not making much progress with regards to your goals. Keep applying yourself, keep up on the pressure, you will win if you faint not. Success is a little bit like wrestling a Gorilla, you don’t quit when you are tired, you quit when the Gorilla is tired. So my dear reader, never give up on your goals. Just keep on trying and pushing. I see you hitting your targets (Pro.24v16).

10. Depend on the help of Jehovah. After all that is said and done, you need God’s help in accomplishing your goals. The truth of the matter is that there are things that you ought to do by yourself and these are things that only God can do. So you need God’s help if your goals will see the light of day. In fact, the greater your goals and aspirations, the more of God’s help that you would need. God has the power to help you but you need to show your dependency on Him. Look up to Him regularly for His help and assistance in achieving your goals. Call upon Him often to help and aid you. One thing is sure, you will not be put to shame as you look up to Him. He will send help from His sanctuary and you will not be stranded in Jesus name, amen (Ps.25v15: 34v5).

My dear reader, the time has come for you to become a better goal-getter as you engage these proven and tested principles. I see you singing a new song and accomplishing your goals.
