CAN SPIRITUAL PEOPLE MAKE IT IN LIFE?
Many people in life believe that success can only be gotten through crooked means, that it is not possible to be spiritual and at the same time be successful. well looking around the world you will want to be tempted to believe this, when you see the wicked prospering all over the world, while the innocent and righteous are wallowing in poverty .

The problem of the world is that we all want to be successful without doing the required things in life. I was going through my daily devotional when i came accross something interesting and will like to share it with you

It goes like this:

"sit down,have a cup of coffee(or tea), and ask yourself these three questions:

1.am i happy with the way things are in my life right now?if you're not, take responsibility.Quit blame-placing and excuse-making!The only one who can stop you from becoming the person God intend you to be is you.

2.Am i afraid of success?afraid of the cost and commitement it required?Leadership is lonely;maybe you'd rather be with the crowd.Or perhaps you've been knocked down and you're afraid to get up again.when Thomas Edison was asked why he was successful he replied,'i started where other men leave off! When world heavyweight champion Jim Corbett was asked what it took to win the title he replied,'Just fight one more round'

Paul wrote 'we get knocked down,but we get up again and keep going(2 corinthians 4:9)

3.Do i believe people can't be successful and spiritual at the same time? out of confused( and abused)theology we've equated humility with poverty and assumed that successful people can't be humble.Not so 'As long as he sought the Lord,God made him to prosper(2 Chronicles 26:5)

Does this gives you the right to strut or look down on others? No but when successful people speak other people listen. Examine the lives of bible characters like Joseph and Daniel. They influenced nations for God ! we have a message of hope that others need to hear,but if we're not in a position to tell them how will they hearIt?

If you have been settling for less,ask God for a greater faith and a greater focus THEN START AIMING HIGHER."
