Natural laws exist that serve to maintain order in universe. These laws are usually manifested as regularity in nature (as in seasons) or as a relationship between cause and effect. In physical realm natural laws exist which govern behaviour of matter. Examples of such laws are Newton's Laws of Motion. In social aspect of life, natural laws also exist that regulate human activity. The Law of Demand and Supply is an example of such a law. This phenomenon is also manifested in spiritual aspect of life. Universal and immutable spiritual laws exist which govern human creative activity. Observation and experience show existence of two spiritual laws. These are: The Law of Creative Accomplishment and Law of Reciprocal Action. Let us now examine these laws.
The Law of Creative Accomplishment
The law provides that success will inevitably crown our efforts if we persevere in our pursuit of a goal and if we have faith in God. In other words, perseverance and faith in God will always lead to success in our pursuits.
The relationship between faith in God, perseverance and success was first made known by Jesus Christ. Hear him on faith in God (Mark 11:20-24):-
As they passed by in morning, they saw fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered". And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into seas,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it, and it will be yours".
In "Parable of Importunate Friend" he taught about perseverance (Luke 11:5-10):-
And he said to them "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him' and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me door is now shut, and my children are now with me in bed I cannot get up and give you anything'? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him what he needs. And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
The operation of this law is not completely unknown to mankind. There are sayings which have arisen out of human experience of relationship between perseverance (or determination) and success. One such saying is: "Where there is a will, there is a way", which means that if someone is determined to achieve something, a way of doing so will be found. Another of such saying is: "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again".
