...I press toward THE MARK for THE PRIZE...Phil. 3:14
Has it ever come across your mind that certain items in the market NEVER GOES ON SALE? The prices are fixed all year round. Just like the saying goes "to every PRIZE there is a PRICE".
From the text above...IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO PRESS, but PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK IS WHAT GUARANTEES THE PRIZE.
There is always A SPECIFIC PRESS POINT (THE MARK) for every level of success we desire to attain in whatever area of life. Therefore if we desire the ultimate prize then it is expected we press to the mark.
There is a MARK of discipline and PRACTICE that would produce an Olympic Gold medalist. There is a MARK of hard work that will deliver a specific level of outcome in Business.
The pain of pursuit is not failure, the pain of pursuit is finishing a few inches BEFORE THE MARK.
What is your goal today (this month, this quarter)? Have you thought about the MARK you need to Press towards to deliver that goal?
If you are pretty honest with yourself, there is nothing like "luck" that births greatness it's simply a function of PRESSING TO THE REQUIRED MARK.
Have you ever missed a train? The train was scheduled to leave by 5:28p.m. (THE MARK) and if you can be honest, although you ran, sprinted, pushed everyone, tripped and stood up, you couldn't get in because you MISSED THE MARK.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE MARK!
You can choose to have your mark, but if your mark does not equal or beat THE MARK, you will not hit your target.
Every first class student knew from the start, that it will take minimum 6 hours of uninterrupted dedicated studying (THE MARK), to deliver their PRIZE (graduating with a first). So, they ignored lazy philosophies that say "it is not by reading too much" or "are you the only one studying"?
Every one who wanted their faith to produce knew from the start that , they must have ABSOLUTE (THE MARK) FAITH in GOD.
THE MARK for a great home is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and UNCONDITIONAL SUBMISSION, any thing short of that...I guarantee "you will miss the train".
Let's see what God said to Cain, when he went grumbling...
Gen 4:7... IF THOU DOEST WELL, SHALL THOU NOT BE ACCEPTED?
Not just doing but DOING WELL...DOING WELL...DOING WELL.
Till when next you visit this blog KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE MARK not your mark but THE MARK!
