Contributed by Pastor Dempsey Daniels on Jan 8, 2007

Today, the first thing that we must understand is that there are stages to success. The problem with most of us, young and old alike, is that we go through these stages voluntarily blind-folded. We take on this attitude of know-it-all when in actuality, w
