Called To Unending Success
Called To Unending Success
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:12-14).
One of the many glorious benefits of the Christian life is that it’s a call to unending success. God’s dream for you is that you consistently make progress and heap success upon success. He expects you to be increasingly fruitful and productive in all your endeavours.
Talking about the believer in Christ, the Bible says his path is like a shining light, that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). This is your heritage when you become a child of God, having been born again. Your path in life becomes one of consistent growth, steady prosperity and unending success.
The Lord Jesus said in John 15:1-8 NLT: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more… My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father.” In other words, if you’re productive; if you’re fruitful and effective in your endeavours, the Lord prunes you so you can achieve even more. It’s the Father’s glory for you to be fruitful in life; He wants you to excel and consistently make progress. He’s more zealous and passionate about your success than you could ever be.
Thus, you ought always to be success conscious. Note that success is not necessarily measured at the tail end of one’s life; it can be measured at the different stages of your life. If you’re conscious of success at the level where you are today, that consciousness will take you to a higher level of success tomorrow. Never be conscious of failure, rather have the success mentality. Your life will be an unending stream of victory and prosperity when you develop an attitude of success.
Success mentality will keep you from mundanity and the average life, and help you imbibe a culture of excellence. Be excited about life today and every day, for God has already made you a success! You have in you what it takes to confront the crisis of life and win.
Prayer
I’m consistently making progress and advancing in life on a daily basis, for God has blessed me and made me great! I thank you Father for making me a success, and helping me excel in all my endeavours today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
