PROSPERITY & SUCCESS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Success
a) What does the Bible say about success? Are there biblical principles about how we can be successful?
b) Definition of Success: The World Versus The Word
i) As the world sees success, it is the achievement of a social status, completing a goal, reaching an objective or the achievement of an action in a specified set of time.
ii) The way God defines success is so much different than the way the world does. Success to those in the world means achieving something that is useful in this life on earth. Success as God sees it is something that is achieved that is of infinite, eternal value in this life and in the life to come. That is a huge difference indeed. The Bible describes success in a much different way than the world does.
2. Prosperity And Success
a) When Abraham’s servant went to find a wife for Isaac, the Lord promised success and success he found. He didn’t have to look long because Isaac took one look at Rebekah and knew she was the woman. He loved her at first. Why? It was because Abraham had been walking before the Lord and promised prosperity in his seeking a godly wife for his son Isaac.
Genesis 24:40
''The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father’s house.”
