The tenents of Christian success!

Wealth gained by dishonesty (or vanity) will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor will increase.

The Holy Spirit spoke the title for this narrative today. 

The starting point is understanding “I was created by God and I am His servant.”  This changes the dynamics of success for a Christ follower. 

You must reject the principles of the world because they conflict with God. The world is not your friend.

The decision for Jesus is “Not my will but Yours be done”.

Jesus takes you out of the world and into the kingdom of God. He teaches you the importance of learning His values and living them out in your life. Jesus wants you to seek the will of God for your life above all else.

Jesus will define your success by your faith in Him and obedience to His voice. 

Jesus wants you to walk in oneness with Him and yield to the authority of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus gives and He takes. The believer has to learn to be content with His present circumstances.

Jesus does not owe you anything. He dispenses His goodness by examining your motives and His plans for your life.

Jesus does not want a believer to pursue wealth. This creates greed which can never be satisfied.

Jesus defines a successful spirit filled believer as one who dispenses Living Water wherever he goes. 

Jesus wants to give you an abundant life but the caveat is the priorities of your life. They must align with the purposes of Jesus. You cannot live for yourself and expect the favor of God.

The success of Jesus comes to those who walk in oneness with Him and zealously seek His will for their lives. Jesus is a living reality and present in every moment of their life.
