Majority of people has misconceived notion of
what success is. As we examine what
success is, we will equally see what it is not.
Success according to Longman Dictionary of
Contemporary English is, “the achieving of something you have been trying to
do, with a good result.” It is
commanding good results in succession, i.e. having continuous progress. It is achieving God’s plan and purpose for
your life.
As Bishop David Oyedepo defines it, “true
success is the accomplishment of an assignment or the attainment of a desired
end. It is the end product of discovery
or the product of purpose”. It is the
(inborn) innate desire of every human being; everybody craves after it,
everyone celebrates it. There is an
adage: “failure is an orphan, as success
has many mothers”.
Success is neither
possessions nor position. Possessions
and position is part of the heavenly packages that comes along with it. It is not synonymous with secular possessions
and position. It is more than that. It not
having all the riches in the world and still trying to figure out how to have more of all the riches in the world. It includes other life-transforming
blessings such as joy unspeakable, long life, material wealth, mental wealth, good
health and all other things including getting to the peak of your career that
you can imagine of.
Success is not all about having enough money
or material things or being the best in your profession. It is encompassing in
all aspects of life. It is not a wish.
It should be a keen desire which transcends everything else and back up with
determination, diligence and dependence on your Maker. It is achieving a good result of what you
desired to do.
God‘s will for us is success. He has done everything to make us succeed. He has made a grand design of success for
us. But not everyone is successful
because Success
is a choice!
