Unfortunately, many Christians have become like Lot's wife. They look backwards all the time. Those who look backwards remain backward. Only those who look forward go forward. Those who look back don't see the front, neither do they get to the front!

Jesus, in the scripture above, says that anyone that puts his hand on the plough and looks back, there is nothing the kingdom has to offer that will be available to him.

Your problem is not in your past, it is in the mind. It is not the happenings around you, it is the happenings within. The environment is not harsh. Many are having the best of time, while many are having the hardest of time.

Don't say, "It is because I know God, that is why things are like this for me." Those who know their God don't go down! The knowledge of God does not bring a man down, it lifts a man up! God's ways might be slow, but they are sure! If the facts are in place, your destiny is certain!

God is more than enough! Inspite of whatever economic constraints and pressures you find yourself in, you can work by His principles and still thrive and make great progress in life.

It is also important to mention that you are by destiny a fruitful person, because you belong to the household of Israel, according to Isaiah 5:1. All you need is to apply yourself to the things you are hearing. There is no dry land, there are only dry men! You can stand out and stand right, and overcome, and win, and flourish!

You belong to the order of the choicest vine. So you must stay focused and keep looking forward!
