NUGGETS FROM REV. SAM ADEYEMI’S TEACHING: THE PURSUIT OF SUCCESS.

A Portion of the fact that Success is a word that give many Christian a creep makes People feel uncomfortable especially “Deep Christians” and “Strong Christians”.

Why? – Because that word is used by many People today in the world who teach “Self Help” and “Self Reliance”.

So, they tell us we have “Unlimited Power” to achieve Success – We can do just about anything that we want to do and that will make a Christian feel uncomfortable.

Of course, you know you can’t do everything without God.

We become very uncomfortable talking about money, though we decided not to have anything to do with it.

In fact, Satan help us to misunderstand the topic – He made us to believe that the Bible says: Money is the root of all evil.

The Bible didn’t say so.

The Bible says: The love of money is the root of all kind of evil.

Satan occupy that space.

But Jesus understood the Place of money when he described Satan as Mammon.

And so: You can’t serve God and Mammon Placing the Power and the influence of money on Practically the same Pedestal as God.

And Satan understood how much influence money has on our Thinking and on our Emotion and then leverage on it.

And today, money is one of those things that Satan uses to shape People’s Thinking and Emotions all over the world.

Gratefully, God gave us Light and we saw that money is not the root of all evil – “The lack of money is the root of many evil in this Planet”.

I’m telling you – Poverty is a Destroyer!

So, back to Success – If you check the dictionary, it says that: Success is the achievement of Goals.

To achieve your Goals, to achieve your Aims that is what is expected.

Simply, you set Goals and you achieve them – That is Success!

So, I read Genesis 1:26-28:

And God said: Let us make man in our Image after our likeness and let them have Dominion. God created man in His Image, Male and Female He created them.

And then verse 28 says; And God blessed them and said be Fruitful and Multiply and Replenish the Earth and Subdue it. He said Rule over it and have Dominion.

That looks more to me like “Achieving Goals” than anything else.

In other words, man was created with a Capacity to Achieve his Goals.

When man doesn’t Achieve his Goals, he is frustrated because his System is not designed for “Not Achieving Goals”.

… He is designed to Achieve Goals!

When he malfunctions, then he can experience discouragement, depression, fear, doubt, worry and all those Negative things.

We are designed with a Capacity to Achieve Goals.

So, we need to Pay more attention to His Words.

Not having Goals therefore is dangerous.

When i learnt to “Set Goals” and to achieve them, I mean it brought a New Dimension entirely into my life.

When you achieve a Goal, you experience satisfaction and fulfilment – So,fulfilment is a “Spiritual Thing”.

So, I Pity the Person who does not have Goals – It is a dangerous way to live ones life.

Well, everything was working well until one day I was reading Luke 12 several years as I was trying to define or understand success.

In Luke 12:15, Jesus said: Beware of Covetousness for a Man’s life doesn’t consist in the Abundance of the things he Possesses.

So, when we say: “Success is the achievement of Goals” Wee need to answer a question: “Whose Goals?”

It is ok for you to “Set Goals” for different areas of your life but there is one you didn’t Set – The Goal of being born into this world as Human Being.

You met yourself here as Human Being!

Someone decided that.

Someone Purpose it for you to be here.

He has a reason and intention at the back of His heart.

So, if you didn’t “Set the Goal” of being born as a Human Being; then we cannot actually determine the definition of Success for your life from you.

Real Success, True Success is the achievement of the Goals that God set for your life – Jeremiah 1:4-5.

You are not here by accident – Your life was Planned.

Infact, Hebrews 4:1-3 says something about this. Any of you must be conscious of this.

There is something called “God Rest” for the People of God because the work were finished from the Foundation of the world – Amazing!

Your life was started and finished even before Adam was created.

So, having understood that I told myself: I only want to do work that has been finished.

The “God Rest” settled and concluded it.

You know the answer before you start. You know where is going to end.

That is the best way to live your life. That is where you find fulfilment

Listen to me; you truly find fulfilment when you come into alignment with God’s Goal for your life.

That is where it is!

So, Success is not just simply achieving Goals – Whose Goals?

Real Success is for you to discover and to achieve God’s Goal for your life.

When you are in alignment with God’s Purpose; even Satan becomes your Messenger!

Nothing can work against you!

Ultimately, everything work together for you – Heaven’s Resources is at your Disposal!

The “Greatest Care” for you and I is to Perfectly be in alignment with God.

When we are in Line with those Plans and Purposes then we are “Absolutely Unstoppable”
