Six Steps to Make 2009 Simply Divine!

1.      REGROUP.

      Sit still and listen to the voice of God! Let Him direct your path.

2.      READ, READ, and oh yeah, READ!

On the Chocolate Pages Network, www.chocolatepagesnetwork.com, I have put in many blogs and I expect that people are reading them. Every blog has essential information that will help you build your platform, market your book and brand your ministry. So read. Be curious. Take in more knowledge. In order for the season of your life to change, you have to take in new information.  Information changes the season of your life!

3.      WRITE AND SPEAK YOUR VISION.

      Speak what you seek! Your tongue is the pen of a ready writer, so what are       you writing and speaking about your future? Confession precedes          possession. My 12-year old daughter took the time to write out her New

      Year’s goals and then actually wrote out a confession! Part of her          confession is below:

      God, this year I want to strive to be my best, in school, at home and anywhere else you put me.  God, please give me the discipline to succeed in      these goals I have set for myself.  God, I will work hard at my goals instead          of doing nothing.  Every day I’ll look like a successful person and I am a    successful person; favor surrounds me like a shield.  Everywhere I go I am             a leader, not a follower; I will show others the light in 2009.

Write your goals and then write a confession based on the word of God for what you want in 2009.  Say it every day. Put it up on your mirror; put it on your refrigerator; put it on your windshield. Wherever you go daily, say it until it comes to pass!

4.      BE PRODUCTIVE AND PROACTIVE.

      Make preparations like you're ready for a big harvest! Get busy like it’s            on the way because it is.  Prepare for it like you’re pregnant. I know an author who has a new book called Pregnant in the Spirit and if you’ve ever       been pregnant or seen someone who is pregnant, they are preparing to give      birth. They don’t just sit around and wait for the baby to come. Wait in   expectancy. Expect great things. Prepare to give birth!

5.      TAKE THE LIMITS OFF GOD.

      Jeremiah 29:11 says: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the      LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Know that the plans God has for you are not disastrous, but   for your good. Take the limits off and put your expectors on!

6.      FORM ALLIANCES.

      This is a major key to your success. Who we associate with determines            where we go. Your prosperity is in the nucleus. I could tell you where     you’re going based on the books you read and those people who are a part      of your inner circle. You’ve got to read good things as well as associate       with good people. Forming alliances is key.
