DAY EIGHT | THE Power of Cause & Effect

May 8, 2009

WELCOME TO DAY EIGHT | THE POWER OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

Psalm 126 : 5 & 6. – Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping bearing seeds for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him.

There are three key elements in these scriptures that can give us insight into the life of a successful person.

1. PURPOSE // SOWING & REAPING

• All successful people have a purpose in life.
• Sowing & reaping is the function of purpose.
• Increase is always the aim of true purpose.

2. PASSION // WEEPING & REJOICING

• All successful people are passionate about life.
• They laugh in the good times and weep in the bad.
• They share their feelings with others.

3. PRODUCTIVITY // BEARING & BRINGING

• They invest precious seed to reap a harvest
• They bear their sowing seed carefully
• They bring their harvest sheaves generously

You are called to make a profit in life, and consistent sowing & reaping will do that.

However life is much more than an endless cycle of sowing and reaping.

There must be a higher call and bigger picture.

Generosity is the true end of successful sowing and reaping.

Find your generosity purpose in life – and make it your joy.

Out of every harvest or benefit gained in life – find some of the profit to give away.

PRACTICAL

1. At the start of week two – identify again the areas in which you need to see improvement.

2. Review the steps you have taken to begin the improvement process.

eg Fitness – Have you found a trainer or a program and commenced.

Diet – have you found a nutritionist or a program and commenced.

Spirituality – have you commenced the things you need to do.

Budgeting – have you asked for help from qualified people.

Generosity – have you identified the cause and the amount of your giving?

3. Have you placed a photo and/or description of the person you want to be etc. so that it produces passion whenever you look at it.

Remember – passion produces performance.
