This book is dedicated
To God Almighty, the giver of wisdom.
To the memory of my Mother Agatha,
Who brought me to Jesus.
And
To all those who prayed while others laughed.
This is the answer to those prayers.
He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise; but a
companion of fools shall
be destroyed.
King Solomon
Table of Contents
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 3:8-11
Introduction
S uccess is relative. What you may see as success may not be the same as how another person views it. At the level where you are struggling to make ends meet can be term successful, considering where you started to get to where you are now. Success cannot be measured in terms of money; no matter how much you acquire in life you may not be as successful as someone who has no bank account. Success is defined as where you started and how far you have come, the hurdles you have jumped through to get to where you are today. For example, If you have to manage to put yourself through high school or college while working jobs at the same time and you finally get your high school diploma, or college degree, that could be considered as success. You need not compare yourself to others who might have more money or better things than you have. You are as successful, although perhaps on a different level.
Although success is relative, there are those who are obviously more successful than others. To be more successful than where you are and to reach that peak that you so desire, there are things you must know and am going to show you by the help of the Holy Spirit, principles that will make you more successful. I take this to be your new year because what you will know now will set you apart and distinguish you. In every new year, people make resolutions and plans to be better or to reach a certain height no matter what their achievements had been in the previous year. So the information you will get here, is vital to your next level no matter where you are in life now.
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
Psalm 119:99
Having more understanding than your teachers have means you are ten times better than your peers, because it is these same teachers who have taught you and your peers. This prove it is possible to be ten times better than your peers.
For I will give you a mouth and
wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 21:15
God can give you wisdom that none of your peers can deny or resist. Your own peers will not be able to measure up to you. You will be far better than them and be preferred to them. God wants us to succeed more than you can ever imagine. If you think you already know everything or have reached a level of success such that you dont need more information, you are headed for frustration, because you can never know too much. The greatest enemy of your progress is your last success, according to Myles Munroe. No matter how successful you are, you still need to acquire more information in order to become even more successful. A businessman who doesnt want more information or doesnt want to bother learning more will soon be out of business, because every day new ideas and innovations will come up that will outshine his old ideas. God says in Joshua 1:8:
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
In order to be successful you need to continuously gather relevant information. The Bible verses you read yesterday will not bring the success you need today; you need to meditate on it continually in order to be successful. In the school of success, everyone is a learner; the more you learn, the more successful you become. This is your new yearand with this book you will learn how to be better, how to start all over and be ten times better than your peers no matter where you may find yourself now. Come on board as we take a flight to the world of unending success.
Anchor Scripture
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
Daniel 1:20
Chapter 1
The Wisdom
of Daniel
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7
T o succeed in life, we need wisdom. We certainly cannot excel in our business, career, family life, academics or ministry at a higher level than the wisdom we possess. To be ten times better than your peers, you need the wisdom of Daniel. The scriptures say that he was able to understand things that others could not and that he had an excellent spirit. Because of this excellent spirit and wisdom, Daniel excelled in his political and administrative career in ancient Babylon; in fact, he was preferred to all the magicians and astrologers.
Many people think that they can excel in life just by going to school and acquiring a degree. This is not true; I have seen many graduates who are sweeping floors just to get by because they couldnt get a job. Education is good, but it is true wisdom that distinguishes us. Daniel was so important in the kingdom of Babylon that every king who came into power sought his wisdom. He served in four regimes just on the basis of his wisdom. In our present age, we need to excel in Daniels kind of wisdom. You cannot be ten times better than your peers without wisdom; you need it to set you apart from your peers. And like Daniel, when they dont have the answers they will have to come to you for your wisdom.
If all you know is what you were taught in school, you are the most ignorant person on the earth. You must know more than what you were taught in school, and there must be a source into which you are tapping. The wisdom of Daniel did not come from the books he read or from his teachers, but from a supernatural source.
