Pillar 1 - Get Focus And Clarity The Apostle Paul taught the Philippian believers about this pillar in Philippians 3:13-14. He was discussing the perfection in Christ and said No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. That focus comes when we concentrate only on the Word of God. The clarity comes when we finally see the person of Jesus in what we are studying. Pillar 2 - Recognize The Power Of Decisions All change is found in the power of your decisions Your decisions determine the direction of life that you're going to go in, but the wisdom you walk in determines the level of favor that follows you. Proverbs 24:14 underscores this truth In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short. Pillar 3 - Realize Change Is Automatic, Progress Isn't Make sure the changes in your life lead to progress and not greater frustration. An extraordinary life comes from an unrelenting commitment to constant and never-ending improvement in every area of your life. This is what Paul meant by I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. There are practical steps you can take as you press on like Paul. Use a proven map, the truth from God's Word. Set high standards. Find a peer group that will hold you accountable. Take daily action and consistently measure your progress. Realign your life, so that you naturally take action in the direction you want most. And remember, friend, we’re standing with you and believing God for His very best in every area of your life – and that includes your complete prosperity.
