*PRACTICAL STEPS TO PROGRESS IN LIFE*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  10 March 2024*


SCRIPTURE: Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed Stronger and Stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker - *2 Samuel 3:1*


*From the Cloud of many Witnesses, there are a number of steps Peculiar to those who have Progressed in the midst of Challenges of Life.*


*Some of them are listed as follows:*


*(1)* Setting eyes on the Finishing Line - *Hebrews 12:2; Genesis 37:6-11; Philippians 3:13*


*(2)* Be Praiseful and  Grateful for where you are - *Psalms 34:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:18*


*(3)* Rejoice Always - *Philippians 4:4; Nehemiah 8:10*


*(4)* Turning ears away from Praise Singing - *Acts 12: 22-23*


*(5)* Enduring  Negative Criticisms - *Hebrews 12:2*


*(6)* Trust God to see you through - *Psalms 37:5*


*(7)* Expect to reach the Finishing Line - *Proverbs 23:18*


*From our Anchor Bible Text above, it is clear that we are wired to make Progress in spite of our Challenges.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please don't let my Challenges stop my Progress in Life in Jesus Christ Name.
