THE PATH TO LIFE OF CONSISTENT PROGRESS (Pt1)

The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city! Ecclesiastes 10:15 (NKJV)

It is never the will of God for any of His children to stagnate, reduce or retrogress. A believer is to move from glory to glory in every area of life (2 Cor. 3:18). You can have a life of consistent progress. Your life, business, destiny, marriage can consistently improve despite environmental factors, governmental fluctuations or the limitations of your location. However, a lot of people desire consistent progress, but they don’t know how to activate progress. It is possible to have a destination, but not know how to get there. Destination in this context is your aim, objective, goal, purpose, dream or vision, while strategy is “how-to”. It is not enough to know your destination, you must know the nitty-gritty of how to get there. Therefore, strategy is the answer to the question of how.

As seen in our anchor text, there is what is referred to as “the labour of fools.” This is simply a life full of efforts without corresponding results or anything to show. In life, to avoid the labour of fools, you must be strategic; it is the pathway to your desired destination. So, what exactly is strategy? Firstly, a strategy is a plan of action to achieve a set goal. Every goal without a plan of action remains a mirage. What are your action plans to make progress in your marriage, family, finances, and other areas of your life? If you have the appropriate plan of action, you’ve already achieved 75% of your goals. Unfortunately, many believers join them to say “God will do it “ without any plan of action to achieve there desired goals. Without a strategic plan of action, a person’s life may end in tragedy. Secondly, strategy is a high level plan to achieve your set objectives. A nightmare is what you get when you have a dream without a plan. Without a plan, a building will inevitably fall. Therefore, what are your action plans to make your dreams and goals a reality? That is the path to a life of consistent progress.
