PURPOSEFUL LIVING AS A KEY TO SUCCESS

The idea of success has been much talked about without due consideration of the nature  of human beings. Success is something that pertains to human beings and is used in relation to them. There exists however more than meets the eyes as regards success for if this was not the case there would be less difficulty in attaining it. There is more to success than we see , know or claim to understand.

Certain questions put man in the know of a level beyond his physical comprehension.

How did we come about ? How did we come to life ? How do we fall asleep? How do we wake up? Where do the spirits of men go after their death with the body still left behind? All these questions point to the fact that there exists a Maker and a Creator who operates at a level far above mankind and coordinates things and affairs in the world.

There have been several questions as regards man’s creation. Since man did not create or inititae himself ther must be Someone responsible for the Creation of man. Such a One would hold the key to the Essence of man and the purpose of His existence.

Of a truth,God created us for a specific purpose , a unique assignment. He has also provided everything  we need to accomplish that purpose.                

Success can therefore be measured in several ways. The true measure of success however is by looking at the intent, the aim and the objective of why God created us.and doing all we have to do to bring it to pass and fulfilment. 

 

Success has however been erroneously measured through human criteria like riches , wealth, education,fame etc These are limited for there exists a life in which the departed souls of men after death go and receive judgement where the parameter is not human but divine. There is also a spirit and soul in man which longs for a higher level of  fulfilment which  only His Creator’s manufacturer’s manual and remote control can activate or bring about.

 

Assumption and presumption are not effective tools of knowledge. In discovering one’s purpose for his/ her life one must be exact, affirmative, asssured and specific.    If we want to succeed we need to relate with God and pursue a purpose driven life from His own perspective.                                                                                                                                                   

God manifests Himself to those He first of all has a relationship with and then He speaks to them, directs ,guides and instructs them on the path to follow in life, business, career, marriage , relationships etc. It is by so doing that the way to success is sure, secure and God aided.                                                             

If we want to succeed we need to relate with God and pursue a purpose driven life from His own perspective.                                                                                                                                    Getting to know God, studying His Word as seen in the Holy Bible, applying His principles and obeying His commandments. I wsh you have a fulfilling 2007 and more importantly a purposeful driven and God based succesful life!!!
