"There is no limit to financial success"
Apostle Sam Diko
This is what the world see and believe, there is no limit in acquiring wealth, properties and anything a man desire either in a good or bad way. All Success = Success
Success from a Spiritual perspective shows the achievement of man from God's daily purpose in our lives. A man is born to win and you don't just win but must pass through a series of challenges to be a winner, success comes in different steps. It is wîsely said, "a journey of thousand miles begins with a step" each step is a success if it's a mission you are sent by God almighty, the reason why a man is given visions is to see or sense the future by faith and accomplish all perfect works. Any were God has placed a man is to succeed and represent His kingdom.
Success comes in all good forms but with one purpose, which is to glorify God and out of all the success in your life there is always one that makes you feel fulfilled some comes through riches, children, husband, wife, music, evangelism, prophecy, teaching, writing books, advice and etcetera.
There is a proportion to the success you achieve if God wants you to walk with Him ten(10) miles and you walk beyond that then, your 11 miles is a selfish one and to crown it pride is what you are doing not a zeal. We should be contented with what we have as needs and let go of wants, that is what the spirit needs but the flesh seek beyond needs.
Either in our suffering, riches, persecution, death and poverty in Christ Jesus are spiritual success to the kingdom of God (Romans 8:35) and Jesus spoke about a spiritual kingdom in Mark 10:29-30, "if anyone leaves his land, sister, brothers, children, father, mother, wealth and many more for my sake will have hundred times what he lost and persecution". Persecution is part of spiritual success please welcome it and acknowledge you are a successful person, be insulted and bais for a good curse and hold unto the truth till eternity. Some have suffered from a bad curse in search of a successful life in a cruel way and shedding blood to acquire wealth and properties. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul! Nothing, but to some, it is a success but from a spiritual perspective is wrong.
Success goes beyond the physical accumulation of wealth, women, men, education and properties. The reward of a successful man manifests itself on this earth and in heaven. Whatever we do now on earth must be revealed on the last day. Do not see a man and think he is not successful because he has no good education background, living a luxurious life like you, God does not measure a fulfilled life by human criteria but by grace, faith, hope, and above all love to humanities. When you give a helping hand to someone in need, a person who can not pay you back the good deed in the same way God bless you and measure it as success and store that in your heavenly treasure box.
When you post any positive spiritual messages in the Christain communities you only have a little upvote, this is the cash we need to step up our lifestyles but God has rewarded your message which is more valuable than the upvote you received, don't fail to know that spiritual blessings don't end on the physical blessings but even in heaven. God decide how He blesses a man, He might choose to make all you sow on earth spring up and bear fruits on earth and in heaven or just let your reward be revealed in the last day.
Success is a sequence of achievements, a ladder to the future. Each of your steps is a success to the spiritual kingdom. Our way of thinking is a success, our minds and heart are full of successful things. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and that is why we have innovations because of our mindset and how we are driven to change the world for good.
