To help us to succeed God made investment in each one of us.
God’s investment is in us: We are not empty people trying to make life work. We are people with rich deposits of God in us who have the capability and the capacity to use those resources to our advantage and to God’s glory.
There are Six things God has invested in us…
1. Life
2. Time
3. Gifts
4. Grace
5. Promises
6. Opportunities
Success is a more of a product of wisdom than of physical strength. Is a product of knowledge, wisdom and of understanding. It is good to be physically strong but, in addition to that, you must have wisdom, the skills and the practical application of a knowledge that will enable you to be successful.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Greek Philosopher (384-322 B.C)

For every situation that Christ came into contact with, He turned it around positively. For example; turning water into wine, transforming the lives of ordinary fishermen and castaways into fishers of men who in turn preached the gospel boldly and won souls for God’s kingdom.
