1) What is SUCCESS?
True SUCCESS is having reached and occupying your future, which is your destiny in life.
2) How do I attain this SUCCESS?
The Bible says in Joshua 1:8, the way to become SUCCESSFUL is by meditating the Word "day and night." The scripture says that meditation changes your observation from the natural realm to the spiritual realm. (2 Corinthians 4:18) Now that you have a new focus, you can do new things; and "then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good SUCCESS."
The Apostle Peter says, "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these [promises] ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:4)
Meditating the promises of God allows us to shift our thinking from our will to God's will, enabling us to go places others cannot go and do things that others cannot do.
True SUCCESS for the Believer cannot be found in this 3-dimensional realm. True SUCCESS for the Believer is discovered in the spirit realm, and brought to pass in the natural realm.
3) How does SERVICE help me attain my SUCCESS?
Ephesians 2:10 AMP says, "For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]."
Service is the good work which God predestined, planned beforehand, and prepared ahead of time, to be the pathway to your good life or SUCCESS. Galatians 6:8 says, "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." The original Greek word "life" is zoe, the life of God, the good life, your SUCCESS!!
True SUCCESS is never determined by what a man has, but by what a man adds. The promises of God lead us NOT to things but to opportunities. And by doing His good works, SUCCESS can be added to us. (see Matthew 6:33)
True SUCCESS begins with meditation, thinking and hence seeing on a higher level. Making your way prosperous is doing the good works or the service that God has predestined, planned beforehand, and prepared ahead of time, which is the pathway to the good life.
Therefore, SUCCESS is the harvest that begins with service as the seed!
So, let me pose the question to you...knowing these things, who is the most SUCCESSFUL person you know and why?
