COPY THE RIGHT PEOPLE

1 Corinthians 11:1 “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ”.

If you want the results of a particular man, copy that man. When Elijah left the earth and dropped his mantle, Elisha took it, rolled it together as his father did went to River Jordan as his father did, smote the river as his father did, and called on the God of his father to answer him like He answered his father – and God answered! Apostle Paul said, “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ”. The secrets of people’s successes lie in the things they do daily. If you can find those things and do them, you will also produce similar results. Romans 2:11 says: For there is no respect of persons with God. Our God is not partial; the success He gave to that fellow you admire; He can give to you too if you will do the needful. How many of them have you watched documentaries about? How many autobiographies have you studied? These are the ways to know what these people did that got them the results they got. In a book, you can learn within one hour things that took a man 70 years to learn. Once you have learnt them, you just have to put them to use, and you will get the same results; there’s no need for trial and error. This is one of the beauties of the Scriptures and l believe it is the reason the stories of great prophets of the past were recorded for us to read. You are to take the men of God that have gone before as examples to follow, just as Paul stated in the memory verse for today. You should however note that Jesus Christ is the ultimate model to be transformed and conformed unto. Yes, the children of God are encouraged to learn from those who have gone ahead, but such emulation must be in line with God’s will and directives. You must as a matter of action point list at least three people whose results you want to replicate in your life and begin to study the daily habits that got them the results they got. By so doing, you will emulate the successes they chalked in whatever field they practised.

Confession for Today

I decree and declare to always imitate the right people in my Christian journey in the mighty name of Jesus.
