| WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? FEAR OF SUCCESS! (2) |
| '...Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.' Psalms 35:27 |
| Fear
of success is characterised by these six behaviours; see if you have
any of them: 1) Procrastinating. 2) Underperforming. 3) Focusing on
those who reject you rather than those who accept you. 4) Allowing
yourself to be side-tracked by so many insignificant things that you
never get focused on the main thing. 5) Talking about what you plan to
do 'someday'. 6) Feeling others are worthy of success but not you.
Question: Are you serving the Lord? Then you qualify for success!
'...Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His
servant.' Yes, God will help you when you are in need. But He also
wants you to succeed so that you can begin to meet the needs of others.
God told Abraham two things. First, He promised to bless him greatly.
Second, He promised to make him a great blessing to others (Genesis
12:2). And it happened! Solomon writes, '...money answers everything'
(Ecclesiastes 10:19 NKJV). What did he mean? Money builds schools,
churches and hospitals. It eradicates poverty and illiteracy. It
finances research that cures life-threatening illnesses. But some of us
are so focused on heaven's streets of gold that we no longer see earth's
streets filled with suffering and unmet needs. Understand this: God
will reward you based on your service to others. '...the King will
answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did
it to one of the least of these?you did it to Me'" (Matthew 25:40 NKJV).
That should be your greatest motivation for wanting to succeed. |
