SCRIPTURE: Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. Psalms 139:14-16 (NLT).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Success in life is determined by the extent or degree to which you become what God created you to be.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that the schedules or seasons of your life have been planned by God before you were created. The phases and stages of your life were planned before you were born.
This means, your life has been determined and scheduled by God before you were born. God knows the detail of every day of your life before you were born. You are a child of purpose.
It is therefore, important to understand that success in life is not dependent on how many degrees or cars a person has; it is not even a question of how much money one has in one’s bank account or the number of countries of the world one has travelled to. Those are not the measures of true success.
Rather, your success in life is determined by the extent or degree to which you become what God created you to be. Success in life is determined by the extent to which you become what you were created by God to be. True success is determined by the extent to which you are able to fulfil your God-given purpose on earth.
You see, there are many things people call success that is failure in the Eyes of God. Success in the wrong direction or endeavour equals total failure. Success in the wrong thing equals total failure. And there are many people who ended their life’s journey on earth as successful people in the eyes of men, but in the eyes of God, they failed woefully.
The Scripture reveals that David served God by the will of God in his generation, and then he slept with his fathers (Act 13:36). Serving according to God’s Will is true success. Investing your life in doing the Will of God is true success.
My counsel is, make up your mind to pursue true success, which is fulfilling God’s Purpose for your life.
Remember this: Success in life is determined by the extent or degree to which you become what God created you to be.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make up your mind to pursue God’s Purpose for your life.
- Refuse to measure your success in life by false standards or parameters.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to understand and fulfil the purpose and implication of my existence. Help me never to pursue the mundane things of life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
