Take Responsibility 1

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy 
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and 
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to 
all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make 
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good 
success.” 
Joshua 1:8

One important principle you have to
understand as you prepare to succeed in every 
area of your life this year is that 
successful people take responsibility for the
outcomes of their lives. This is important because 
until you are willing to take responsibility for 
failure, God will not give you credit for success. 
Stop blaming others for where you are. Arise and 
take responsibility and begin to chart your course 
for who you want to be, what you want to do and 
what you want to have. 

If you do not determine where you are going from 
God and begin to work towards it, you may never 
get there. There are different phases of life. At the 
phase of innocence, when you were born, you 
could not be held responsible for anything, but if 
you are above twelve years you should begin to 
take responsibility for your life.

Someone may ask, “How can that be?” Have you 
heard the stories of men from broken homes who 
made up their minds to become scholars? One of 
such men was Peter Marshal, at an early age, he 
took his things, got into a ship and came to America 
from Europe. He learnt to work hard during the day 
and went to school at night. He ended up becoming 
one of the greatest preachers in American history. 
He intentionally applied himself at an early age.

You are responsible for where you are because true 
success begins with a sense of responsibility. Until 
you take responsibility for where you are, you will 
do nothing about it. It is never too early or too late to 
begin to take responsibility for where you are, and 
begin to work towards the great future God has 
shown you. 

Prayer.
Dear Father, I receive grace for excellence and 
diligence to be, do and have all that you have 
ordained for me to be, do or have, in Jesus' 
Name. Amen.
