1Chro.11v9: So David went on and became great, and the Lord of hosts was with him.

The secrets of champions are in their stories. Great achievers became great because they lived by certain secrets or principles. If you can also live by these hidden truths, you too can become a great achiever. King David was a great achiever in his lifetime as you can see in (1Chro.11v9). Part of his secrets of greatness was in the fact that the Lord of hosts was with him. In this series of lessons, I will be sharing some of the secrets to becoming a great achiever in life. However, before we look at these secrets, I want us to address who a great achiever is:

WHO IS A GREAT ACHIEVER?

1. Someone who has been through a lot of challenges and has come out victorious. This is who a great achiever is and this was who King David was. So if you are going through stuff or challenges today, know that this makes you a candidate for great accomplishments. So rejoice! (Rom.8v18)
2. Someone who has defied the odds in order to be successful. Hear me, my dear reader, does it seem that the odds of life are against you? Just know that this is preparing you for something greater in life like Esther and David of the Old Testament.
3. Someone who has been able to achieve great exploits in life. I mean someone who has been able to do what others have not done or been able to do. They can also be called proof producers. This is who a great achiever is and this is what God is preparing you for (Dan.11v32).
4. Someone who is able to solve the hard problems of life. They are problem-solvers or solution-providers. They are a blessing and not a liability. This is who a great achiever is (Gen.41v38-39).
5. Someone who is able to accomplish their set goals/aspirations/objectives in life and ministry. They are not only goal-setters but also goal-getters. This was who Elisha was in 2Ki.2v9-11. He had a goal or dream of the double portion anointing on Elijah and he got it by his hunger and determination. My dear reader, you too can enter into the league of great achievers from today as you begin to pursue your goals/aspirations in life. I can see you entering into a new season of reckoning and greatness in Jesus name, amen.

Prayer for Today: Precious Holy Spirit, I rebel against every attempt and effort to settle for an ordinary life in Jesus name, amen.

CONFESSION: The extra-ordinary life is my heritage and portion in Christ. Therefore, I say no to a life of obscurity and mediocrity. I am a supernatural being; therefore, I refuse to settle for the ordinary life. I am destined for the top and I am anointed to be a great achiever. I choose to walk in cooperation with the Holy Spirit and His word in attaining my enviable status in Christ. Glory be to God, for this is my experience in the land of the living in Jesus name, amen.
