The Secrets Of Personal Developments.

The Secrets of Personal Developments.

29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29

Introduction:

There are three important words here that we shall consider briefly: Secrets, Personal and Development.

What is a secret?

A secret is something that is hidden from the generality of the people but known to some individuals or a group of individual. It may also be something that is necessary for a breakthrough or as information which has been kept away from the eyes and minds of many people. Therefore, a secret to your development might be things around you that others have been using to make success but you have not considered it as important as to make use of it. Today, I am telling you some secrets which you might have come across but ignored or trivialised as something not germane for your self-development.

What is personal?

Something that relate to an individual. This just meant that what I am about to discuss might work for a person here and not for the generality of the assembly. We are all individual and my ingredient for development may be your open development.

What is development?

It is a process of growing from certain level to another. There types of growth: growing taller, growing fatter,

The secrets.

1. Ascertaining the level where you are.

What makes people to aspire to greater heights is because they know where they are and realised they could have been in better place than where they are. It is not possible to get anybody moving from where they are present until someone tells them there is a better place or they discovered a better place by themselves. The prodigal son in the bible discovered by himself that there was a better place at home than where he was presently. His reversed migration was as a result of the poverty of the highest order that he saw in a foreign land.

In the recent times there are people migrating from trouble Syria and Libya to Europe because they have been told that just beyond the river there is life. They were made to know that being a migrant in a foreign Europe is better that the suffering and war in the desert. Do you know what level you are presently and do you know where you want to be or where you should have been?

AGENTS OF KNOWING YOUR LEVEL.

Stories from far countries.

Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. Genesis 42:1-2.

You cannot know what is going on in another place if you don’t listen to the news or read news beyond that of your locality. Believe me honestly there are better place where you can live comfortably and achieve your dreams of a good life,

Evidence of people that have been there and are developed.

Another way of knowing a better place beyond your shore is to observe the people who had once gone out of your localities and suddenly their fortunes have changed gloriously.

Evidence of the educated.

When you see some people in your locality you will discover that what makes them better than you are that they were educated. For example, there are evidence for all to see that the educated are better, richer and opportune than the uneducated. Your friends, schoolmates, neighbours that were once at your levels and are now upgraded.

People who are doing extra-ordinary things.

There are some people that we have observed that they are doing greater thing because they are doing something extra-ordinary. you may find some of them in sports, music and drama and in the ministry of the Gospel. The way forward is to ask them the same question that Peter asked Jesus, should I come and walk with you on water? And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Matthew 14:26-29

All these and many more tell you are not where you should be, there are greater heights to be reached.
