There are certain qualities that are very vital in every success. I have searched closely to observe those ingredients that are particular with every success story. If there is a quality that is not missing in every success story, then that quality is important to success.

You see, wealth is not the storage of money; it is capacity. The quality of wisdom teaches you how to translate your capacity to finances.

Some persons are wealthy in their mind but, they do not know what to do with the wealth of their mind to translate it to physical money, which is the means of exchange. You cannot exchange with capacity.

Wisdom teaches you how to translate wealth to your means of exchange. The power God gives to get wealth is wisdom. Wisdom for God is not school education; for God, wisdom is Jesus. To us, Jesus is the Word. Therefore, wisdom is the Word of God.

The only time the Word of God would release wisdom to you is when it becomes the topmost thing in your heart.

God made use of wisdom in making the world. If God used wisdom to achieve what He wanted to achieve, how dare you run your life by your senses? You must seek the wisdom of God to prosper.

You see, God’s wisdom never gets outdated, it never upgrades. The wisdom of God translates beyond the future.

There is also another quality that every successful person has; DILIGENCE. You see, in the Old Testament, God spoke directly to Moses, then the children of Israel through Moses. You’ll notice that God spoke to the Children of Israel through Moses, many times on diligence. This is because God understood how important it was for them to achieve success through diligence.

Diligence is a virtue; it is a character. Diligence is the bedrock to where you stand. Proverbs 22:29 says,

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Once you stand before mean men, no matter how joyful you are, you would be frustrated. Learn to choose the caliber of people you relate with.

Negative, frustrated and mediocre minds shouldn’t be around you. The people around you would determine the sustenance of your joy.

DECLARATION:
I am success personified! I take up the character of diligence today. The wisdom of God is at work in me. Glory!
