1 Step to Become a Success

Your trials and tribulations are not necessarily the main source of your victories. You may, no doubt learn from them. But that won’t give you a special anointing. It won’t give you a special access unto God. If pain and hurt were the secrets for the anointing of God, this world would've been completely different. But on the other hand, God has made a provision for us that is solely dependent on the finish work of the cross. And for us to cling to our past experiences and hurts as the reason for our success, is to deny Christ. Sometimes we build a theology around people, or circumstances. All of a sudden we have new revelations; the 10 steps to your victory, or the 3 rules for a successful prayer life! While this is all good in dealing with others, its simply teaches us good manners. But it won’t change a thing in our relationship with God. In other words, it won’t affect God in any way. However, there is one revelation that is true at all times, and in all situations; Christ Jesus and him crucified. He is the foundation upon which everything stems. He is the corner stone of our lives. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. How we miss this, is beyond my grasp. It seems like we mindlessly repeat these scriptures without really understanding them. It doesn’t say anything about us completing the rest of the alphabets between A and Z. It simply says God is the Alpha and Omega (Greek alphabets). He is the author of our faith. And we’re here busy with plagiarism. We’re trying to add our efforts, and claim credit for God’s work. Why do we have to go through all that, when God is willing and able to bring to fruition His life in us? Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart. Be like the little children and come to Jesus just as you are. His children know His voice. His yoke is easy. He will turn your night into day, and your sorrows into joy
