Introduction

Outstanding success is of God! Mediocrity is not righteousness. No ordinary son is a pride of his father. A father only rejoices over his outstanding children, not the failures. You cant resemble God as a failure. He is the Most High; so how can you remain the lowest and say you are His son? Success is your birthright! If you are born again, it is your redemptive right, your destiny in God. Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the earth." You, as a child of God, are to give taste to the earth; you are to preserve it. He also said, "Ye are the light of the world." By this He means you are a pacesetter. The people of the world should learn how to get things done by looking at you and how you get things done. Again, Jesus said, you are a city set upon the hill, that cannot be hid. You are not in the valley, but at the top of the mountain. If you are saved, you have been raised up. The Bible says He has raised us up together with Him. Jesus didnt bring you down at salvation, but rather raised you up together with Him (Eph. 2:6). Not only that, He has made you to sit with Him far above! Redemption has placed you far above; that is yo u are outstanding! You remember the four successful people in Babylon Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? They were ten times better than their equals. Thats far above! Success is your kingdom right, your redemptive right; its your covenant right. Dont sell off, like Esau did for a mere morsel of meal. Success is your heritage in Christ; it is your covenant birthright in redemption. Failure is an abuse on redemption, because Jesus came down to take you up! However, success is not a gift, but a choice. While it is the birthright of all saints, the individuals choice determines his portion. All that He foreknew, He predestinated, called, justified and glorified (Rom. 8:29-30). So, your choice to succeed is what generates in you the force to succeed. Your choice is the compass that points to your destination. God has destined you for all-round success: success in your walk with Him, in your business, career, finances, health, home, academics, etc. You are a born star and are required to stand out wherever you are. Already, God has assured us that whatever we lay our hands upon to do shall prosper. But it takes secrets to succeed! It takes a discovery of Gods secrets to attain the success He has in store for you. So, in this book, we shall be exploring kingdom secrets that make for outstanding success on the earth. A strict and consistent pursuit of these secrets will grant you an eternal access into the reality of the covenant of success. You shall succeed! That is why God has programmed to reap the end-time harvest through the outstanding and resounding success of His people. The enthronement of the saints in success will be a weapon in the hand of God in reaping the end-time harvest. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. Zechariah 8:20-23 That means God is going to herald the coming of His Son Jesus by distinguishing the Church. People will come running speedily to God, because of the coming wave of supernatural distinctions in the body of Christ. God is going to make His people a showpiece on the earth, by making them resounding successes. God is a master strategist. In warfare, strategy, not strength or resources, is the greatest asset. So, Gods end-time plan for the Church is to use the sickle of success (of the saints) to bring home the harvest of dying souls. There will be such liftings in the body of Christ, the kind that the world has never known before. And by such liftings, multitudes will be brought into the kingdom of God, without us going to them to say, "Accept Jesus." The world, including your unsaved colleagues and former friends, will look at you and say, "Wherever you are coming from, we will follow you there. We knew you when we were at the same level. How many days ago did you depart, and now, things have turned for you. We will go with you." They will see your success and come into the kingdom by themselves, just as the above Scripture has prophesied. This prophecy was fulfilled in our church recently. There was this former muslim (he was an Alhaji then), who had a tenant that had a problem. This man directed the tenant to our church, for solution to his problem, because he saw that everyone coming out of our church was always smiling and laughing. This tenant came and things turned for the better for him.

Another person had a problem and this same Alhaji again directed him to our church. The man came, and like the first person, things turned for him also. So, this Alhaji told himself, "I will go there also." He came to our church and gave his life to Christ and everything around him began to change. His coming to church was so frequent, that some of his former islamic boys came to look for him in church! This is Gods agenda for the end-time Church to use the supernatural lifting of His people as the force of attention for pulling the dying world to Himself. God wants to make you a resounding success and by so doing, bring many to Christ. We are a people born in due season! Not because we are smarter than the past generations, but because in Gods agenda, He has planned that success will be the garment of the end-time saints, and through it bring many into the city of refuge. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Micah 4:1-2 Isaiah 2:2-3 carries a very similar prophecy: And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. The success of the end-time Church shall be a compelling attraction "...People shall flow into it." It will be so clear to the outside world that these men are actually on the highways of life.
