How To Transform Your Failures Into Crushing Successes!

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewingof your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

“An army of ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The ants inquired of him, ‘Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He replied, ‘I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing.’ They then said in derision: ‘If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter.’” (Aesops’s Fables)

Have you ever been in a situation where you were about to make a mistake that you knew was a mistake, but you made it anyway, and the only reason why you kept going down that road was because you didn’t want people telling you what to do? Think it not strange that you have a hard time holding on to long-lasting relationships. Think it not strange that you clash with your co-workers and supervisors on your job. Think it not strange that you bump heads with those in leadership.

The Holy Ghost revealed to me that you are at a point of frustration. You are grappling with the fear of moving forward because of mistakes that you have made in your past. Even now you think that there is no way out of the predicament that you are in today. But I hear God saying, “Trouble won’t last always.”

THE ENEMY IS UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS AGAIN - BE NOT DECEIVED!

Take a moment and think about your life. Over the years God has placed some key leaders in your life, many of whom you have failed to recognize the value of their leadership. Those who appeared to be the strictest in your life were really the gemstones that God allowed to show up in your life to develop and nurture the greatness within you. Unfortunately, you rejected their help and advice, advice that would have moved you further along in life.

But God says, “It is not too late to heal the wounds of the past.” There is no failure in God, only lessons to be learned. However, you must change your opinions and thoughts about leadership and begin to embrace those “tough leaders” God sends your way. Mentors are the missing links to our destiny. Without them we will walk around the earth blind to life’s opportunities and never walk fully in our purpose.

I am living proof that mentorship is vital in the life of the believer. We cannot succeed unless we submit to Godly mentors who only have our best interest at heart. In order to achieve the full benefits of a mentor, you cannot be insecure; you cannot be ultra-sensitive; you cannot be rebellious and disobedient. You must allow the Holy Spirit to take you through the process and purge you of bitterness, resentment, hatred, false judgment and criticalness. This may sound easier than it really is, but with the help of the Holy Ghost and mentors, all things are possible.
