Success!
(is keeping the faith -2 Timothy 4:7)

 

"Without holiness we will not see God, we are not a success but a failure"
Have you ever wondered what "success" really is?
  Some people think that success is (can be) different for everyone but this is not so at the end of the day in God's Eyes.

Some may think that being a 'man' is muscle, money, looks, accomplishment, accolades even many women. But God says a real man is holy.

Some females think that being a 'woman' is beauty, slim, money and lots of it, power over man, fame, independence, having many men, achievement or even academic ability. But God says a great woman is holy.

Some think that having a lot of children or being the community door mat is being a woman or man and being a success. Nothing is further from the biblical truth.

The truth is, if our success is outside of scripture it is not success, (ultimate success) it is but an illusion, delusion. Is it any wonder that Messiah said....."My kingdom is nothing to do with (or of) this sin cursed, weed filled, briar laden, corruptible earth"????......John 18:36.

So let me teach you today via a bible view of what Yahweh would accept as being a .....success!....in his eyes.
