Many people think they can succeed by their strength but this always leads to failure in their life's pursuits. Psalm 127:1-5 is directly passing an eternal truth to us, that God is the secret of our prosperity.
The Bible says further:
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy father, as it is this day.”
Deuteronomy 8:18

Looking through the lives of Biblical heroes, you would find some human frailty in each, like the ‘perfect’ Noah who became drunk to the point of casting a curse upon his own child.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me".

It is equally written that the Holy Spirit assigns and empowers us to perform some specific assignments (1st Corinthians 12:6).

However, we must not be lazy under the guise that it is God who will work through us. [b]While it is true that He works in us, we must be diligent and obsessed with soul winning no matter what it may cost. [/b]The Holy Spirit crowned Paul’s efforts with success by granting him divine enablement but we must also note that he was very diligent and obsessed with soul winning. Diligence encapsulates executing your assignments with care, consistence, and vigour and at the right time. Obsession is an excessive devotion to someone or something, to the point of personal loss, injury, or death. Obsession made Paul go as far as he did, teaching his children-in-the-Lord to do likewise. To Timothy he wrote:

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”
2nd Timothy 4:2

I pray that the Almighty God will grant you the enablement to achieve His purpose for your life in the matchless name of Jesus.
