Eternal Success Strategy: Win Souls

Eternal Success Strategy: Win Souls

Daniel  12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." KJV

Point to ponder on: Earthly gains don't last forever, superstars don't reign forever, but winning souls makes you a star forever.

Everything the world defines as success will be laid bear one day according to Peter.(2 Pet.3:10) The world says you are successful by how much you acquire or accumulate but God says your life is not defined by your possessions. This simply means that, to God whatever you possess couldn't have been possible if He didn't create the raw materials and give you brain and ideas as a co-creator. We are co-creator with God but God values us more than what we create out of the raw materials He gave the universe. It is disappointing that man values what he created than his own soul, and likewise values material things than souls of men.

We should pay more attention to things that last. To be successful is core to our existence and God is interested in your success. What comes with success in worldly terms here on earth  provides comfort for living from one level of degree to another, however, we must focus on the heartbeat of God, which is soul winning. God wants men reconciled to Him. The destiny of sinners is destruction: they are lost  and doomed to destruction. They can be successful in this life  but forever lost to hell without Christ. As a believer in Christ you must realise that your success is to fulfill God's purpose for your life and His will for your life be done here on earth. But when we focus our attention on the secondary and ignore the primary we work against God's plan. His kingdom and His righteousness first and every other thing follows.

Touching lives is the greatest of social works ever but a life can be touched and  brought from poverty to wealth, ignorance to awareness, obscurity to limelight but without the salvation of such soul the end result will be destruction -activity in futility. Therefore, the wisest investment that will never fall out is to invest in lives of people in anyway that makes them better people and more importantly, the salvation of their souls.

Regardless of our possession here on earth, an end will surely come and then the true successful will be those who will reign with Christ for a thousand year in the millennial and not take part in the second death. The truly successful will be those who will dwell with God in the New Jerusalem that will be brought down from heaven. Is this part of your goals? If not, your strategy is not strong enough.

Get every comfort you can get in life, go for earthly success and let God be praised as you add value to your world fulfilling God's purpose for your life and above all win souls. Let God use you to turn many to righteousness, then your success story will outlast your existence on earth and speak greater things for you in eternity and earn you crown that cannot fade for life.

Good morning. Do have a favour filled day.

I celebrate you.
