Two Kinds of Progress

“And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness…..” 2Cor. 12:9

There are two kinds of progress; one is by man’s strength while the other is by the strength of God.

Making progress by one’s strength is like trekking, it is slow, stressful and boring. A man engaged is such progress will soon be tired and come to stagnancy. On the other hand, a man can ride on the wings of God’s grace and enjoy unusual, faster and sweat progress. This is what I desire for you this year.

Now this second kind of progress has levels. There are the “bicycle” and “motor cycle” levels where you enjoy a little grace which makes your progress a little better than trekking. The other levels are “car” and “airplane” levels. At such levels, the Holy Spirit is in complete control and He is allowed to display His full strength to bring progress and results to your life. That is where you belong and should be operating.

The key to operating in such level is humility and faith. You must be willing to trade your weakness for God’s strength and believe Him for the impossible.

I ask God to give you uncommon progress this year in Jesus name.
