THE SECRETS of SUCCESS – Part 2

So what is genuine success in ministry?  It’s not how I look.  It’s not what I have.  It’s not who I know.  The Bible says it’s what I am.  What I am is really the key ingredient to success and what I am is determined by who I think I am.  Galatians 6:4 “Each one should test his own actions then he can take pride in himself without comparing himself to someone else.”  Notice he says don’t compare yourself to other people but test your own actions.  Real genuine success is never at the expense of somebody else. 

Who I am is the key ingredient in success in life whether I am looking for it in my relationships or finances. Who I am influences every action I take in life so I must settle this issue because without doing so I will never be fulfilled regardless of how good life is for me. Hebrews 4:12 says in the NLT that the “Word” exposes to us who we “really” are. When most people read this verse they say that’s for sure because I feel like a worm when I read or hear the Word. When we read the Bible and it points out our weaknesses and failures it’s because we are reading it to find out what’s “wrong” with us rather than what’s “right”. I heard it said years ago that we always find what we look for and this could not more true than looking for what’s wrong with us. I want to challenge you to begin reading the Bible to find out what God says about you and that is you’re righteous, accepted and have ALL things in and through Christ. Let this be the first step in your journey in discovering success and I promise you’ll never regret it.
