SUCCESS (today's cell lesson + sermon)

What is success?
1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
3. a successful performance or achievement: The play was an instant success.
4. a person or thing that is successful: She was a great success on the talk show.

This is what the world say success is. But this is NOT what it means in God's eyes. So what is success in God's eye? There are a few ways to look at it.

1) Personal: When you promise God you would so something (e.g. devotion, quiet time, praying) everyday, and you do it, THAT is success. Simply, it means doing what you promise to God. Make sure what you promise is what God wants and NOT what you want.

2) Surrounding: You have to courage to do things for God (e.g. evangelising, praying for others or anything involving other people). If God calls and you answer, THAT is success.

Conclusion: There are many ways to be successful in God's eye. And i just listed 2 examples. BUT, remember! Do God's will and NOT your will. Do it God's way and NOT what you think is better! Humble yourself and be remorseful, for God loves those who have a servant's heart. When God calls, OBEY! Ask God to give you courage and strength and all these will be provided for you to do His will! So start small, and be obedient to God. Listen to His every single command! Lastly, LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH! God loves you! Do you?
