PROGRESS IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO EXCELLENCE (Monday, 18th May 2026)
Text for Today: Is. 43:14-21 ‘Remember not the former nor consider the things of old, behold I will do a new thing.”(vs.18).
The way that you grow is by making progress towards your goals in life. First, you plan; then you execute. Part of the plan may not work and part of it will work. The way that you grow is by scaling what works and ignore the noise of what everyone else is doing better, and focus on your dream. The beauty of life is for a man to make steady progress as he increases in age day by day. No sane man wants to remain on the same spot for many years, or else the person becomes frustrated and fed up with life. There is this joy and aura I see around those whose lives make terrific progress day in day out.
Until your today is better than your yesterday, you are not yet a success. In God’s agenda, there should never be a better yesterday. For us to move forward in destiny we must forget our past, we must forge ahead irrespective of where we were coming from. God taught the children of Israel this lesson; He told them if you will get to the Promised Land, you must first leave the land of Egypt. In the same vein, if you must move forward you must take a step forward from where you are presently. One thing that hinders many people from breaking from the past is change. Many people are not receptive toward change. You either fight it or flow with it. Someone said if you can’t change, you won’t grow, and if you are not growing you are not living. I can’t think of anything worse than living a stagnant life devoid of change and improvement.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Roman 13:1-4.
