SUCCESS AND BLESSINGS

Editorial Comment

Jesus never reprimanded His disciples in public or made them feel stupid. He made them feel loved and appreciated. In fact, Jesus let his disciples know that He thought so highly of them that He planned to give them the keys to the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19). He never embarrassed them or belittled anyone who served Him. He overlooked their faults and limitations and celebrated their strengths. As ambassadors of Christ, and should speak words of hope and encouragement and build others up – focusing on their strengths. When we do this will begin to see God’s favour over our own life. Then we will experience each and every victory that He has in store for us.

The Lord will lavish you with prosperity wherever he has placed you and bless you with a wonderful family, friends and a great life-style. The Lord will send you an abundant provision at the proper time and bless the work you put your hand to. You will lend to many, but you yourself won’t have to borrow anything.

Take heed lest you forget the Lord your God, by not keeping his commandments and his ordinances and his statutes, which I command you this day: lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Deuteronomy 8:11-14
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:1

Asking the right questions in the right way is still as important to the presentation today as it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago. The secret is to ask.
Asking your prospects sales questions, do it mean you primarily ask them the questions that are on their agenda – not just on your agenda?
