What is really the true success in life? What is the REAL Â success?
First of all, I wanna ask you, what is your definition of ‘success’?
Is it based on what you possess? Is it based on your money? Is it based on your achievements? Is it based on your physical appearance? What is it?
Okay, I tell you, some businessmen are really wealthy. They have so many possessions. But the thing is, do they have satisfaction? Do they have the fullness in their heart?
Maybe at night they just lie on their bed and can feel the emptiness of their heart.
Why?
It’s because NO MATTER how great people are, NO MATTER how much they possess, but if they have no God, —
Well, I tell you, that emptiness will never be filled.
But I wanna clear this things first to you: YES, to be successful, one factor of it is your possession and another is your achievements. The thing is, without the factor of God being with you, I tell you, those possessions, those achievements of yours, WILL BE PUT TO NOTHING!
Why?
In John 15:5, Jesus said, “Apart from me, YOU CAN DO NOTHING”
You got it?
So, the true success in life, despite of your possession and your achievements, is all about knowing your Creator. It’s all about knowing the one who died on the cross in order to save you. It’s all about knowing the one who’s always with you, who always love you despite of your background and past, and everything.
True success in life is all about knowing your purpose in this life. The purpose of loving God and loving people. The purpose of using your skills and abilities to glorify God and the purpose of not thinking only about yourself, but other people as well. And it’s not just about knowing, of course. It’s also all about living your purpose to the fullest.
I tell you, when you do that, you will really have that joy in your heart that no one and nothing could ever put that away from you. You will have that joy in your heart that even the wealthiest man alive can never have.
And when you have that heart for God, of course, just like what is said in Matthew 33:6. Just seek first God and all these things will be added unto you.
AMEN?
So, I tell you, that’s the real meaning of SUCCESS.
That’s it. If you have any questions, or prayer request, I’m here. Don’t hesitate to ask me.
May God bless us always 🙂
