Do you know where you are headed in life? Do you have a fixed
goal written down with a target date set?
It is vital that you know exactly what you want out of life. You
must know where you are headed, and you must keep a fixed goal in
view. It makes no difference if you want a better job, a new
house, a new car, or just a new pair of shoes. You must have a
fixed idea before you’ll attain what you are after.
You must be definite on what it is that you desire and not
consistently changing your mind according to your moods on any
given day. James 1:6-8 says, “Let him ask in faith with no
doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and
tossed by the wind. Let not that man suppose that he will receive
anything from the Lord for he is a double-minded man in all his
ways.”
Many people go through the lip-service act of saying their
prayers without the slightest belief that those prayers will be
answered. Consequently, they are not answered and the same people
will scratch their head and wonder why God is not answering their
prayers.
Jesus said, “According to your faith, let it be done unto you.”
(Matt 9:29) How can anything “be done unto you” if you are not
exercising your faith in what you desire?
If God wanted to include an eleventh commandment, I believe it
would be this, “Thou shalt not fake thyself out!”
Believing is knowing that something will happen. Good or bad. You
have not a single doubt that it will happen – you completely
trust and know that it will happen.
If you believe in your God-given dream, then get your goals
written down with a target date set. Be definite about what you
are asking God for and stick to it. In Habakkuk 2:2-3, it says,
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run
who reads it for the vision is yet for an appointed time.”
