The worldview has sold us a very attractive dummy about success. That it is built on intellectual ability and talents and just about everything else except God. They have successfully and aggressively marketed this myth and many Christians have fallen for it. But is this really the TRUTH? Is this model really working in our world? Take a look at world events and even your personal experiences and the verdict is clear that it is a FAILURE. All that this model has done is create many avenues of greed, lust and every manner of deceptive lifestyle with very little good. Now the collapse has set in.
But PONDER on what GOD'S VIEW of SUCCESS IS. In the Book of Proverbs, we are told what real and genuine wisdom for living is "THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE: BUT FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION" Proverbs.1.7kjv. Who is this WISDOM? Again, the scriptures " But of Him you are in CHRIST JESUS who became for us WISDOM..." 1 Corinthians1.30nkjv.
What are the BENEFITS of having CHRIST as your WISDOM " HAPPY IS THE MAN THAT FINDS WISDOM AND THE MAN WHO GAINS UNDERSTANDING; FOR HER PROCEEDS ARE BETTER THAN THE PROFITS OF SILVER AND HER GAIN MORE THAN FINE GOLD. SHE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN RUBIES AND ALL THE THINGS YOU MAY DESIRE CANNOT COMPARE WITH HER. LENGTH OF DAYS IS IN HER RIGHT HAND, AND IN HER LEFT HAND IS RICHES AND HONOR. HER WAYS ARE WAYS OF PLEASANTNESS, AND ALL HER PATHS ARE PEACE. SHE IS A TREE OF LIFE TO THOSE WHO TAKE HOLD OF HER, AND HAPPY ARE ALL WHO RETAIN HER" Proverbs 3.13-18nkjv. NOW that is TRUE SUCCESS that is a complete lifestyle experience. Don't be deceived by what is less. Reach out for the BEST IN CHRIST.
