THE PURSUIT OF SUCCESS

today on excellent leadership with sama DMA when you an alignment with God's divine plan some purposes even set up because your messenger nothing can work against you ultimately everything works for you Romans chapter 8 and verse 28 all of us read together let's go and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God for those who are the called according to his purpose will title a discussion the pursuit of success the posture of success I believe that I have a hole in and an anointing from God to teach people how to succeed to teach and I'm conscious of the fact that success is a word that gives many Christians the crips makes people feel uncomfortable especially deep Christians strong Christians why because we have or should I say that word is used by many people today in the world who teach self-help and self-reliance so they tell us that we have unlimited power to achieve success we can do just about anything that we want to do that will make a Christian feel uncomfortable of course because we know you can't do everything because you are not good however I read Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 to 28 and what I see there does not look like phileo and it's God's intention for man but I should say this when the church feels uncomfortable about the word it avoids the word it runs away from it and it's been my observation that we when we run away from some of those sensitive topics or areas Satan sees a vacuum and occupies the space and leverages on that space to influence culture example money we became very uncomfortable talking about money so we decided not to have anything to do with it if I said I helped us to misunderstand the topic Meadows believed that the Bible says that money is the root of all evil the Bible didn't say so the Bible said the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil when we decided to avoid the money issue run away from business setting occupy that space but Jesus understood the power of money when he described Satan as mama and say you cannot serve God and Mammon placing the power and the influence of the God of money on practically the same pedestal as God and settle on us and then how much influence money has on our thinking and on our emotions leveraged it and today money is one of those things that Satan uses to shape people's thinking and emotions all over the world gratefully God give us light yes we saw that money is not the root of all evil the lack of money is the root of many evils on this planet telling you what is a destroyer of course I must admit that when we took back the issue of money to good hold of it we're almost going over the deep end again God will help us sex another topic we run away from sensitive vision should not we saw shied away from it to the point where it was as if the world makes God feel uncomfortable then people look funny when we mentioned our word in church as if it's not something they think about most of the day but the impression you have sometimes it's like in fact when they when a husband or wife I you know having the good time together infidelity research eyes away and takes a walk when for God's sake it was God that created sex and created or sexual beings so even what we were supposed to own the water should be God well since we abandoned it Satan took it over and knowing how attractive the subject is as leverage to shape culture and now sex is used to sell everything including toothpick then you have power you have these your power yes it can be abused we run away from it especially political power say time to control of it we run into the church set I run into the government house and the legislative houses then they make laws that are binding on us gratefully we're taking those those places back so back to success you check in the dictionary it says that success is the achievement of goals that's what it means to succeed to achieve your goals to achieve your aims to turn out as expected so simply you set goals you achieved them that success so I read Genesis 1:26 to 28 I see and God said let us make man in our own image after our likeness and let them have dominion and God created man in his own image he created him male and female he created them verse 28 says and God blessed them and said be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it control it he said the rule abide and have dominion that looks more to me like achieving goals than anything else in other words man was created with the capacity to achieve his goal when man does not achieve his goals he's frustrated frustrated because his system is not designed for not achieving goals his design to achieve goals he malfunctions then he can experience discouragement depression fear doubt worry anxiety and all those negative things were designed with the capacity to achieve goals so we need to pay more attention to the word game not having goals therefore it's dangerous when I learn how to watch out to set goals and to achieve them I mean it's it brought a new dimension entirely to my life when you achieve a goal you experience satisfaction you experience a fulfillment as a food man and it's a spiritual thing hmm so I pity the person who does not have bowls it's a dangerous way to live one's life you are born to win and succeed success pursuit is the new series by Sam Eddie Yemi in life you do not

your journey to success today now available for instant download it's power in setting goals well everything was working well until one day I was reading Luke chapter 12 several years ago as I was trying to define or understand success Luke chapter 12 verse 15 jesus said beware of covetousness where a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the face he possesses then he went ahead and told the story a sudden man planted crops this particular year and his crops brought forth in abundance not only did he achieve his goals he exceeded his goals then he said to himself what am I going to do now he said I will pull down my barns got my warehouses he said I will build bigger ones he said then I'll store all my crops said then I'll say to my soul relax take it easy eat drink and be merry then Jesus said God spoke from heaven said you a fool and tonight your soul will be taken away then who will own all those things that you spent your life building on telling you the first time I read that passage closely I was angry as someone who was studying success and was expiring to be successful I was angry as a god what did this man do to you how come it was just when he got his breakthrough that you killed him what did he do wrong is it wrong to be successful I need to understand this I need to understand and you know I had had stories before from the Bible this just seems to fit in story of Lazarus and the rich man remember the rich man true parties held parties in his house every day and the poor man Lazarus who had sores on his body was placed at his gate even dogs came to lick the sauce and then both of them died Lazarus the poor man was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom the rich man found himself in hell when you read it just on the face of it when you read that story what does it suggest to you if you enjoy too much on this side of eternity when you cross over to the other side they will punish you Lucifer but if you suffer very well very well on this side of eternity when you cross over to the other side you will enjoy on the surface of it that's what it suggests of course you and I know it was not because the rich man was rich that he went to hell and it was not because the former was poor that he went to Hebrew house bozo no no no the rules for being rich different from the roots were going to heaven rules for volleyball different from rules for football mmm the rules are different you can suffer here and then cross over to the other side and suffer very well there anyway I said Lord something is wrong somewhere distant is not adding up what did he do wrong he said read the passage I read it again I said it hasn't changed the man what is breakthrough then you killed him he said which again what did it more slowly these times they did I said because sometimes you know the truth is Boonton what is written and what is not it that's something that is called reading between the lines so I wanted to hear but what was written and what was not written so I was reading and then it dawned on me there was no mention of God in everything the man said I will what am I going to do now I will pull down my storehouses I will build greater ones I would store all my crops then I will say to my soul so I think God was okay with him owning the crops and owning the storehouses but when it got to the soul so he was clean claim on the soul to God said no way no you don't own the soul so I'll take it right you can have the rest tonight rapport in heaven so when we say that success is the achievement of goals we need to ask a question whose goals whose goals it's okay for you to set goals quite alright for different areas of your life but there's one goal you didn't set the goal of being born into this world as a human being you met yourself here as a human being someone decided that someone designed it someone proposed plant for you to be here and had a reason and intention at the back of his mind so if you didn't set the goal of being born as a human being then we cannot actually determine the definition of success for your life from you so real success true success is the achievement of the goals that God said for your life so in Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4 & 5 God said to Jeremiah before you were formed in your mother's womb by new you and before you came out of your mother's womb I sanctified you and ordained you I separated you for a specific purpose amazing so that's what we want to bring to our remembrance this morning you are not here by accident your life was planned and he says before the foundation of the world said before you were formed in a mother's womb in fact Hebrews chapter 4 the first three verses says let us therefore fear lest a promise being left us of entering into his rest any of you should seem to consider it there's something called God's rest 4 on 2 also the world preached as well as unto them but the word that was preached was not mixed with faith in those who had it there remains therefore arrest to the people of God and he who has entered into his rest that is God's rest has least from his own walks because the works were finished from the foundation of the wall amazing your life was suspected and finished even before Adam was created amazing amazing so having understood that I told myself I only want to do work that has been finished it is called rest settled concluded you know the answer even before you start you know where it's going to end that's the best way to live your life that's where you find fulfilment that's where Romans 8:28 says and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and those who are called according to his purpose I encourage this morning that you please not turn your life into an experiment if you've experienced the privation serious depravation you tend to overvalue money and material things success for you is likely to be to get a lot of money have a big house of because those things are good but you ask the people who have them lots of them as this searching for something what they thought the money will do it didn't do it so there's no point in you experimenting some other people use their lives as experiments they wrote the reports for you one of them Solomon David okay you don't know who I'm talking about King Solomon let me speak third language okay King Solomon read the book of Ecclesiastes this report Solomon tried money and accomplishments huge projects you know it he had money he had so much wealth they had never been anybody like him before they said silver became gold like dust on the streets of Jerusalem so no more hard money and build massive palaces massive projects then he moved on to sex six seven hundred wives 300 concubines 1,000 women one man listen these were not ordinary women princesses from different countries the most beautiful I am Telling You vital statistics perfect he had them in different heights different shapes different sizes different colors white black and all the shades in between so luma had power as a king he was the greatest at a point he appointed comedians who made him laugh morning afternoon evening laughter left joke after joke after joke I mean the bet he could afford to pay the best he got the best somewhere along line said you know this is madness this is madness a normal human being should be laughing all through like this life is not like listen to me so he tried money he tried power he tried sex what was the result at the end of the day he said vanity of all vanities all his there were still something his heart was searching for listen to me you only find it when you come into alignment with God's goals for your life that's why this so success is not just simply achieving goals whose goals success real success is for you to discover and to achieve God's goals for your life and we know that all things work together all Facebook good and bad when you're in alignment with

counsel from a far country God said to me if the people around you will not cooperate with you to get the job I gave you dawn he said I will import people to do it I'm unstoppable then he said to me look at verse 11 very well check the eyes in that verse so I took my Barrow and second the eyes in that verse I have spoken it I will do it I have proposed it I will bring it to pass he said did you notice you don't show up there is that when I speak it I will do it is that if I wrote I have spoken it you will do it I have proposed that you will bring it to pass that I will kill you is that you don't have the capacity to do what I want to do if it is I die sell it it will take I to do it get out of the way let me do what I want to do the blood has cast for you and for me is perfect alignment with God's plans and purposes when we are in line with those plans and purposes we are absolutely unstoppable that purpose is why I decide you when you find the alignment you will know it it is your design your experiences in life have been pointing to it and it is what praying about and we'll explore that some more after you do that your life is too small to be the reason for your life to be the reason for all those opportunities that God is bringing across your way and all those resources and you not likely find that purpose if you are focused only on yourself that's why it's about influence how much God will be able to do through you ultimately it's about leadership I'm trusting God that this month in the name of Jesus every form of ignorance of destiny is removed Bismark that would be Revelation Jesus view why he came you will know why you are here in the name of Jesus Christ every dark cloud of ignorance is removed center never wants us to find out alignment and he wants to confuse us through the circumstances of our lives and he wants to distract us it's not about other people it's not about what they've done is they about what they've not done into you in the past is not about what they could have done that they did not do it's not about them it's about God as you keep your focus on God this month you will find them you will find poppers you will find destiny you will find alignment in the name of Jesus you are born to win and succeed success pursuit is the new series by say Mary Yemi in life you do not need to rush it is a journey Samedi Jimmy would like to
