HOW TO FAIL IN LIFE
by Dr. Peter Hammond

If you want to fail in life,
then don’t plan ahead.
Don’t think of the future.
Don’t make any sacrifices.
“If it feels good, do it.”

Live for the moment.
Don’t worry about the past.
Don’t think about the future.
Just live for NOW.

Blame others.
Be bitter.
Harbor grudges.
Demand your rights.
Always stand up for yourself.

Insist on everything done your way.
Remember to always to be pessimistic.
Be negative.
Be critical of others.
Participate in gossip.

Live on the edge, push your limits.
Its your body,
you have a right to choose
to do with it whatever you wish
Be selfish.
Strive to be popular.

Hire- purchase anything you want.
Live in debt.
Max out your credit cards.
Gamble.
Take a chance.

Always buy lotto tickets
and visit the casino whenever you can.
Experiment and indulge in every vice
– cigarette, alcohol, and drugs.
Don’t worry about your health.
Don’t think about tomorrow.

Give in to pagan peer pressure.
Immerse yourself in the world’s music,
fashion, fads, films and friends.
Spend lots of time paging through
worldly magazines.
Spend! Spend! Spend!

Why pray when you can worry?
Don’t read the Bible, nor think about
God, nor consider any issues
in the light of eternity
and the Day of Judgment.
That’s such a long way ahead.

Don’t think about others.
Let your personal theme song be:
“I Did It My Way!”

If you want to be an ultimate failure in life, it is very
important that you NEVER volunteer and NEVER
commit yourself.
‘Look after number one.”
Be self-centered.
Don’t take personal responsibility
for anything.

Listen to gossip
and pass it on to others.
Forward any slanderous E-mail
onto as many other people
on your E-list as possible.

• Love your sins & the deceptions
& lies which enslave you.

• Criticise those who try to warn you
of the deceptions of the world.

Your personal feelings and desires now.
After all, you are a good person.

“Trust in the Lord, and do good;…Delight
yourself also in the Lord, and He shall
give you the desire of your heart. Commit
your life to the Lord, trust also in Him…”
Psalm 37:3-5

“But seek first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness
and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33

“What does the Lord your God ask of you,
but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in
all His ways, to love Him, to serve the
Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul.”
Deuteronomy 10:12

“ Therefore, rid yourself of all malice and
all deceit and hypocrisy, envy and slander
of every kind.” 1 Peter 2:1

“ Do not go about spreading slander
among your people. Do not do anything
that endangers your neighbour’s life.
I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:15-16

“ Be very careful, then, how you live – not
as unwise but as wise, making the most of
every opportunity – because the days are
evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16

“ Do not conform any longer to the
pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God’s will is
– His good, pleasing and perfect
will.”
Romans 12:2

“ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Matthew 5:6

“ For the eyes of the Lord range
throughout the earth to strengthen those
who hearts are fully committed to Him.”
2 Chronicles 16:9

In the light of eternity, those who want to succeed
should fear God alone. The fear of the Lord is
beginning of wisdom.
We should delight ourselves in the Lord, seek first His
Kingdom, placing God’s Word above all things.

The successful Christian studies his Bible every day.
Prayer is an intrical part of his daily life. “ Trust and
obey for there is no other way.”
A successful Christian honours his elders, humbles
himself before the Lord, takes personal responsibility,
forgives freely and repents promptly.

Always ask, what does the Bible say?
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
Be unselfish.
Be generous.
Be a good listener.

Exercise patience and servanthood.
Be a reader.
Study to show yourself approved unto God.
A reading Christian is a growing Christian.
Readers make leaders.

Be disciplined.
Value your time.
Avoid time wasting activities.
Redeem the time.
Exercise efficient time management.

Time is the most valuable, non-renewable resource.
Develop a high standard of work ethic.

Find a Godly mentor.
Make use of the means of Grace.
Learn what it means to engage in spiritual warfare.
Select your friendships carefully, remembering
that bad company ruins good character
(1 Corinthians 15:33).

Be careful what education you invest in.
Be very selective about the kind of
entertainment you expose your heart and
mind to.
Be cautious in your finances.
Never live in debt.

Do not outspend your income.
Tithe.
Be generous.
Save.

Do a thorough job of repentance
and restitution.

Know the Ten Commandments
and consistently try to apply them
in your daily life.

Be kind
to
animals.
“ A good man is kind to
his animals,
but the wicked are cruel
to theirs.”
Proverbs 12:10

Be disciplined.
Make use of both physical
and spiritual exercise
(1 Timothy 4:8-16).
Count your blessings.
Prayer – just do it!

“ Let us fix
our eyes on
Jesus,
the Author
and
Perfecter
of our
Faith.”
Hebrews 12:2

When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Chorus:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,
not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Chorus:

Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
Chorus:

But we never can prove
the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favour He shows,
for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
Chorus:

Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Chorus:
