Dedication

This book is dedicated to:

•   All my co-workers in Kingdom enterprises, who have stood with me through the years—in bad times and in good. These pastors have their own ministries to attend to, but have sacrificed time, effort and talent to network with me so that the vision gets bigger, the salvation net grows wider and the harvest becomes greater!

•   My elders, missionaries, and other workers in our church I extend my utmost gratitude and praise for your loyalty and faithfulness. Keep on keeping and we will all one day be eternally rewarded when we get to the other side.

Forewords

We are the children of Abraham and therefore in the lineage of success and divine favour. We have to uphold this legacy by being fruitful and effective in all our endeavours. We who are ‘in the Vine’ with Christ are the recipients of every trait that is required to ascend the highest pinnacles of success. We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us! We are under the auspices of the Creator, under the jurisdiction of the One Who controls the Universe and under the mighty wings of a Supreme and Omnipotent Protector—what can stop us from becoming success stories—absolutely nothing!

This book ‘Success Guaranteed’ is guaranteed to be true to its title! Well done Dr Paul—keep it up!

______________________________________

At this time in history when the world is going through a tumultuous phase as in the days of Noah, success stories are needed to raise the standards and to excel in every field possible, including the financial world, social strata, physical sporting activities, educational disciplines and above all in spiritual exercises.

Being a successful minister, evangelist, businessman, and entrepreneur what Dr Paul brilliantly advocates, is a ‘multi-faceted business’ that demands the best in perseverance, passion, patience, and producing the goods. I cannot but pre-empt the large number of readers who will become successful after reading this book which prescribes the methods and the motivation to derive the best of both worlds—the secular and the eternal!

Introduction

Every person on earth is endowed with a measure of faith! Believers have an edge over the others in that we have a manual that not only charts the way forward but sets out in detail the methods, means and the motivation to be high achievers. For too long have Believers lived mediocre lives, not knowing what to expect next. This book is written to implant truths into the hearts of men and women to be successful in all their endeavours, to be confident in their God given talents, to be mentored under the auspices of the Holy Spirit Who convicts, converts and conveys the Believer to a God ordained destiny.

The Bible advises us not only to be ‘hearers of the Word—but the slogan must be etched in every Believer’s heart—BE YE DOERS. Thus reading this book and putting it away on a shelf would do you no good unless you diligently apply the principles and appropriate the promises written herein.

You were born to be successful. Just as every parent would want their child to be the best academically, socially and sportingly the Lord has the very best envisioned for His children. God loves us so much so, that He sacrificed His only Son for us to enjoy the benefits of life through His death, for us to be pardoned by His condemnation upon the cross, for us to mount up as eagles because He lay as a prisoner for us in an enclosed tomb. The sacrifice that Jesus made hands down a legacy that can never be tarnished, stolen, or annulled—the legacy of success. Success is guaranteed in Jesus Christ!

These and many an intriguing question

Will get our attention as we mention

The real description

Of success, which is our main intention!

DESCRIBING SUCCESS

Earl Nightingale, a world renowned motivational speaker defined success as the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal He declared: If someone is working towards a predetermined goal and knows where he or she is going, that person is a success. If they are not doing that, they are failures.

Therefore, we acknowledge that success is the mountain climber who conquers a treacherous mountain peak, or a diver who dives the deepest in dangerous waters, or simply a teacher who is dong what he/she desires to do, or an inventor who creates an item or a medication to better the lives of humanity, or an entrepreneur who starts his own company because that is his dream. Success means different things to different people at different times in different places depending on their circumstances and
