4 Keypoints From: The Challenges Of Success (2)

  • Some people will do everything to work their way into your heart just because of what they want to get from you.
  • You will need the gift of discernment of spirits to know those that are genuine and those that are not.
  • Real friends will not always say ‘yes’ to your desires. Sometimes, they will say ‘no’ because they care about you.
  • If you are trying not to be lonely as you go higher, and you keep many friends, you will end up having many with negative intentions around you.

    • “Prayer Point: Father, please give me the gift of discernment of spirits so that I can know who my real friends are and those that are not.”

    MEMORISE: “The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.” – Proverbs 14:20

    4 Key Points From: The Challenges Of Success (1)

  • Success has destroyed many people in the past because they were not prepared for the challenges that come with it.
  • The first challenge of success is pride. If you become proud, God will withdraw His grace, and the result of that will be disgrace.
  • The higher you go, the more cautious you should be of falling, and that caution should drive you to be more humble as you rise.
  • Do everything to ensure that you don’t think of yourself as more important than you really are. Don’t look down on others.

    • “Seek to serve more than to be served so that God will continue to lift you up. This is the way to greatness in God’s kingdom (Luke 22:24-2 7)”

    MEMORISE: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. (Hosea 13:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Decree Good Over Your Children

  • Some children can be naughty (Proverbs 22:15), however, the way you respond to their behaviour will determine whether those children will turn out good or become worse. (Job 22:28)
  • There is power in your tongues and this power is even more potent over your children because they came into the world through you. (Genesis 27:18-33)

    • “You will account for every word you speak over your children, and whatever they become will reflect on you also. Speak blessings over your children at all times.”

    Memorise: And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. (Mark 10:16)

    3 Keypoints From: Your Spiritual Father

  • If you claim to have a spiritual father, you must do something to prove it. If you are disobedient to your spiritual father, you are not his true child.
  • If you don't sow anything, either in the form of service or material resources, into the life of your spiritual father, God will not recognise that relationship. (2 Kings 3:11)
  • There are blessings that come from the heart of your father; such blessings can never be reversed. (Genesis 27:33-37)

    • “Do what will make your spiritual father so willing to bless you that, even if what you ask for is beyond his control, he will commit God to give it to you. (2 Kings 2:9-15)”

    Memorise: For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. (1 Corinthians 4:15)

    3 Keypoints From: The Future You

  • If your children make the same mistakes you made, you have not done a good job of teaching them. It is where you stop that they should start from.
  • If you are a good man (Proverbs 13:22), the inheritance you will leave for your children will exceed money. Majorly wisdom, influence, a good name, properties...
  • You must train the ones who will carry on from where you stop.

    • “Reflection: How much are you investing in the 'future you'?”

    Memorise: Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget thy things which thine eyes have seen, and lest thy depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; (Deuteronomy 4:9)

    3 Keypoints From: Wisdom

  • People who do not heed the cry of wisdom usually suffer the consequences of being foolish, and it may be too late by the time they realise it. (Proverbs 1:20-33)
  • If you want to be wise, the place to start from is to fear God (Psalm 111:10) and prove that you fear Him; by departing from evil (Proverbs 16:6)
  • Because wisdom is the correct application of knowledge, the limit o your wisdom will be how limited you are in knowledge; Also learn something new every day.

    • “If a fellow does not have a relationship with God (who gives wisdom: Daniel 2:20-22) he or she cannot get wisdom. You must first accept Jesus Christ (the wisdom of God 1 Corinthians 1:24) as your Lord and Saviour, then simply ask Him for wisdom.”

    Memorise: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7)

    3 Keypoints From: Cover Not Your Sins

  • The reason God always had mercy on David is that he never tried to cover his sins; rather, he would confess them to God. (1 Chronicles 21:1-16)
  • Covering your sins will land you in destruction. When you do something wrong, don't try to keep up appearances. (1 Samuel 15:20-29)
  • Your Christian life is not about publicity, it is more of a personal relationship with the King of kings.

    • “Confess your sins and plead with God for mercy, while you repent genuinely. When you do that, He will have mercy on you, but if you cover your sins, you are risking His total rejection.”

    Memorise: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

    3 Keypoints From: Friend Of God?

  • Many people claim to be God’s friends, but from their reaction when it comes to giving to God, you will realise that they are not.
  • A friend gives to his or her friend without him or her asking. Are you really a friend of God?
  • Real friends of God will not wait until an announcement is made for offerings to be made to God before giving to Him.

    • “Those who are always happy to give to God, and who don’t need to be cajoled or asked before they do so, always enjoy abundant blessings. God sees them as His genuine friends, so He also doesn’t wait for them to ask before giving to them.”

    MEMORISE: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:20)

    3 Keypoints From: Be Merciful

  • Many people ask God for mercy, but when God looks into their lives and sees that they don't show mercy to others around them, He withholds His mercy. (Galatians 6:7)
  • When you are mercify, you are doing good to yourself, but if you are cruel, you are hurting yourself because cruelty will only rob you of the mercies of God. (Proverbs 11:17)
  • You cannot say you love God and hate your neighbour (1 John 4:21). If you decide not to love your neighbour, you're telling God that you don't need His love.

    • “If you sow mercy into the lives of others, you will reap mercy. However, if you decide to sow unforgiveness, then do not complain when you reap unforgiveness. (Job 4:8)”

    Memorise: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Matthew 5:7)

    4 Keypoints From: Committing God

  • If you can find what God's word says about what you want and align yourself with it, He will be committed to doing His part.
  • Promotion comes from God (Psalm 75:6-7), He decides whom to raise and whom to bring down (1 Samuel 2:7-8). Yet you can get God to promote you (fulfilling His word) by being humble. (1 Peter 5:6)
  • If you are diligent in your business, you will stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). Hence, to get to the very top and bear rule, you must add diligence to your humility. (Proverbs 12:24).
  • The devil knows that God will not go against His word, so he tempts you into committing sin, and accuses you before God. (Revelation 12:10)

    • “Never give the devil the opportunity to use God's word against you, rather, use God's word to your favour by always praying and doing according to His will.”

    Memorise: I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Psalm 138:2)

    3 Keypoints From: Love For God

  • No matter how big a fellow has now become, he or she is still nothing before God. If a person is too big to dance for Him, God can decide to show that fellow how small he or she really is.
  • It is not so much about dancing; rather, it is about heart of a man after God has raised him. David's love for God increased as he went higher, while Saul's love reduced as he went higher. Which of these two are you?
  • If a believer's love for God is reducing, such a believer is not far off from offending Him, and that might result in God rejecting the fellow. (Philippians 1:9-10)

    • “Prayer Point: Father, please let my love for You abound more and more every day, in Jesus' name.”

    Memorise: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Matthew 22:37)
