GOOD SUCCESS: IT’S ABOUT BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST JESUS!
“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” Colossians 4:17.
My spiritual father and mentor in the Lord of blessed memory once said:
“SUCCESS WITHOUT A SUCCESSOR IS FAILURE IN DISGUISE”
Taking a stand on wisdom nugget stand above, it thus means, it’s not enough to wake up, count your chickens and say I’m a SUCCESS – that is to say, there is NO TRUE SUCCESS when you have not REPRODUCE yourself in the life of someone or others who goes to make others a SUCCESS in succession.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written THEREIN: for then thou shalt make thy WAY PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:8-9.
In the light of the Scriptures, GOOD SUCCESS begins with the WORD in your MOUTH and the Word content in your spirit-heart of meditation. THINK ABOUT IT. [Joshua 1:8. Romans 10:8-10; Psalms 19:14. Proverbs 18:20-21].
I know SUCCESS in terms is RELATIVE. But GOOD SUCCESS is about BEING FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, that is to say – laying hold to eternal reward from God, having reproduce your you in life, in the cause of God’s mandate and assignment in your life.
“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.
“And all bare HIM [JESUS CHRIST] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:23.
You need to THINK about FULFILMENT while you go concluding I AM A SUCCESS. Just a SUCCESS is not the FINAL, until you KEEP to the FAITH to the end in FULFILMENT of God’s PURPOSE. [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11].
Every grace, wisdom and speed in Christ Jesus. Amen.
