Our Sure Way To Success
Success is something we all pursue in life. It is our ultimate desire to become successful in all of our endeavours. The more we grow old, the more strive to succeed in more areas of life . No matter the area we find ourselves, there is always this plan we have in us to attempt to succeed at a goal set for ourselves. In summary we all want to succeed. The common factor at the end is that even if we manage to achieve our goal, we will still want more success. Our want in this is insatiable . that is no matter how much we achieve ,we would still want more. It is like succeeding and still feeling as if you have failed because of what you discover you are yet to achieve after working so hard to get there. But there is a way that eliminates this feeling and brings the feeling of and achiever even if you fail to reach a goal. It is called spiritual success. This the relationship with our heavenly father. A good relationship with Him proves very successful and make depend beyond physical things replacing them with faith in the provision of God.
GOD WANTS OUR SUCCESS
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
**Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) **
We have seen from stories in the bible of how much the love of God for his children brings them out of any tribulation or temptation they may face. This shows that His intentions for us is for good. But first we have to reciprocate his love by having a good relationship with him. The way to do this is first through studying his written words. When you continuously study the bible, you get better understanding of how God is and how the people in the past have had a good relationship with him. His way of life attracts his blessings which in turn leads to success. He knows we need success,that is why he said we should study his words and meditate on them and not let them depart from our mouth.
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
THE WAYS OF GOD IS NOT THE WAYS OF MEN
The ways of men may seem right to us but end up being the wrong way. This is because life is constantly changing and no man know what the future holds. Only God our creator knows our tomorrow and is the best guide towards the best path to achieve success. So it is only logical to seek the ways of God and not the ways of men. We should seek advice from God through the bible, his spirit which is the holyspirit and through prayers of guidance. When we get instructions or revelations of how to carry out life's activities, we should be wise enough not to let the words and actions of men affect the way we carry it out. The end product is what matters not the present which may seem very unfruitful.
He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[a] of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.
** 2 Chronicles 26:5 (NIV)**
ACT SUCCESS
The success in your spiritual life should be seen in the actions of your physical life. The kind of actions you take will speak of positive minded you are since a close relationship with God brings about faith in him hence, assurance of success should be always there in the mind. Success is only possible when you act it through total commitment and diligent effort.

We all want to b successful, we work so hard to achieve this success. But the fact is that for us to be successful we have to put our spiritual pursuits ahead of our material pursuits. Only God can satisty our needs, so let's not act as if we have the power to do all things. Thanks for sharing.
Joshua 1:6-9
There is a common desire within every person to feel successful. We often measure our worth on the basis of how successful we are. How we measure that success is often based on a worldly standard rather than a godly standard. Success by the world’s standard often means luxury, wealth, and possessions, achievements, notoriety, and fame, beauty, brains and brawn.
If we measure our lives by the world’s standards we will have an inaccurate and incomplete view of whether or not we’re successful. God’s standard of measurement is nothing like the world’s standard.
(Illustration of books I saw in the bookstore: Ned Grossman, How to Succeed in Life. 1. We become what we think about. 2. Decide exactly what you want. 3. Determine the price you have to pay. 4. Commit to pay the price. 5. Work hard, one day at a time. 6. Never give up.
There was another book on success nearby that had 3 formulas for success, similar to the first one. What was really interesting is where I found the books: on the clearance table.)
God’s formula for success is completely unlike the world’s formula. And His formula works for every person, in every situation, whether it’s at school, in our business, our families, or our church. The pathway to success cannot be traveled by anyone who does not practice God’s formula for success. These principles are taken from Joshua 1:6-9.
Principle #1: BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
Notice the number of times God brings this command before Joshua. (v. 6, 7, 9).
In everything we do we should put God first according to the word of God, and when we do this God will ensure our success in accordance with his plan and not ours because God's plan is the best for us.
God is the only way.....

As a normal being, we all want to be sucessful, we work hard daily to make our lifes a success, but the all those things comes last. What wee need is our spiritual pursuit. Our spiritual life must be successful before forcussing on the physical.
Thanks for sharing.
Before you can even begin to work toward being successful, you must set the right goal. Setting the right goal gives you direction and purpose. Imagine that you decide to take a trip. Would it make sense to jump in your car and drive, ignoring road signs or directions? It is possible that you might discover an interesting place, but you also might drive around in circles. Would it not be much better to examine a map and consider all of your options and then develop a plan?
Success is something that we all want to attain. It’s a station of life that we dream about. Who doesn't want to be successful and powerful? To attain this success in your life, in whatever you dream to accomplish, you must realize that to increase your chances, it will all come down to you and the principles you set forth to make your dream a reality.
If success were easy, everyone would experience it, but it wouldn't be special whatsoever. Opportunity favors the best prepared. Luck happens when hard work meets opportunity, and success happens when you give it your absolute all.
God is our father and He wants us to be successful in live.
The only way to GENUINE success is through God. Success doesn't come to you, you go to success. Success doesn't happen by mistake, it is borne by work and grace. Yes there's unmeritted success, but it doesn't just come until you take an action towards the right directions.
You can't achieve what you don't picture. The vision of steemchurch must have been in the mind of @sirknight before he moved towards the implementation. Things doesn't just happen until you take action.
However it's important you also checkmate your friends because success is contagious, the people you hang around with, has a way of influencing you. Thank you
