10 Success Secrets of Jesus
(1) He was Prayerful:
Jesus Christ understood the fact that He cannot be a good success if He does not have a relationship with His father in heaven through communication with Him.
The story of Jesus in the gospel books is full of Him going to His father at all times in prayer.
“And He went a little further, and fell on His
Face, and Prayed, saying, O My Father, if it
be possible; let this cup pass from Me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as You will
- Matt 26: 39
He knew He needed instructions from heaven if He was to succeed here on earth and He can only get those divine instructions mostly in the place of prayer.
I have been divinely instructed to take one step or the other in business or in other aspect of my life on so many occasions in the place of prayer and I have thoroughly benefited from obeying those instructions.
You cannot rule out divine help if you want to be a good success. This divine help can be yours on a regular basis if you have a relationship with God through prayer.
You must however, strive to live a holy life if you want your prayer life to be very effective. God says in the book of Isaiah:
“And when you spread forth your hands,
I will hide My Eyes from you: yea, when
you make many prayers, I will not hear:
your hands are full of blood”. Isaiah 1:15.
You may be wondering whether it is possible to live a holy life. Well, the good news is that you can actually live a holy life if you take a decision to accept Jesus Christ into your life as you personal Lord and Savior.
When you do this, the Holy Spirit makes you His dwelling place and He begins to assist you to live clean everyday.
(2) Jesus was humble:
Jesus lived a humble Life. The Bible says in the book of Philippians 2: 6 about Jesus:
“Who, being in the form of God thought it not a
thing to be grasped to be equal with God”
Jesus is God He never allowed this to get into His Head; He took a decision to come into the earth as a Lamb of God to die for the sins of the world.
Jesus is God but He took a decision to come into the world using the manger as His maternity home.
Jesus is God but He chose the poor home of Joseph, the Carpenter as His family home.
Jesus is God but He made Himself a friend to all less-privileged people. Even though, He owns heaven and the earth, He still associated Himself with this people.
Humility was a great key to His success on earth.
No wonder God (His Father) made Him (Jesus) to have a name that is greater than every other name and at the mention of His Name, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess - (Phil 2:9 – 11).
Have you allowed the little success you have achieved to get into your head? You need to take a decision to change.
Success is a journey that can never finish. So, the little success you have today is just the beginning of what you can still achieve if you keep your head.
