What Is Success?

What good will it be for a man if he gains the Whole World,

YET FORFEITS HIS SOUL?

For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's Glory with His angels,

And then He will REWARD each person according to what He has done.

(Matthew 16:26-27)

If anyone would come after Me, he MUST DENY HIMSELF

And take up his CROSS and follow Me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,

But whoever loses his life for Me will find it. (Matthew 16:24-25)

What is success?

The first critical step to success in this life is to respond to the voice of God

Who calls every person.

The WRATH of God is being revealed from Heaven

AGAINST all godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the TRUTH

By their wickedness,

Since what may be know about god is PLAIN to them,

Because God has made it PLAIN to them.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--

His Eternal Power and Divine Nature have been clearly seen,

Being understood from what has been made,

So men are WITHOUT EXCUSE. (Romans 1:18-20)

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!

Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has been His counselor?

Who has ever given to God that God should repay him?

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

To Him be the Glory FOREVER! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's Mercy,

To offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--

Which is your Spiritual Worship.

Do not conform any longer to the Pattern of this World,

But be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind.

Then you will be able to TEST and APPROVE what God's WILL is--

His Good, Pleasing and Perfect WILL. (Romans 12:1-2)

What is success?

It is knowing and doing the Perfect WILL of God.

Christ Jesus said of Himself:

'Here I AM—it is written about Me in the Scroll--

I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL O' GOD.' (Hebrews 10:7)

Christ Jesus said to the Father of those who belonged to Him:

As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

(John 17:18)

Why did Christ Jesus send his disciples into the world?

To do the WILL of the Father.

How does one do the WILL of the Father?

Those who do the WILL of the Father will be in Covenant with Him.

What is that Covenant? God tells us:

'This is the Covenant I will make with them after that time,

Says the Lord.

I will put My laws their hearts and I will write them on their minds.'

(Hebrews 10:16)

No one can do the WILL of the Father

Unless he is in Covenant with God. NO ONE!

But if God Almighty has put his Law in your heart

And written them on your mind your will be able to do the WILL of God.

Then you will not conform to the Pattern of this World;

You will be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind;

You will DENY YOURSELF

And take up your CROSS an follow Christ Jesus;

You will let go of life in this life to gain His LIFE.

Then you will be able to TEST and APPROVE what God's WILL is--

His Good, Pleasing and Perfect WILL. (Romans 12:1-2)

Then you will find SUCCESS, the only success that exist in this life,

And you will gain the REWARD of Christ Jesus when He RETURNS,

Even Eternal LIFE in the Paradise of God, FOREVER!

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
