STOPPING YOU? FEAR OF
SUCCESS! (2): '...Let the Lord be magnified, who has
pleasure in the prosperity of His
servant.' Psalm 35:27 NKJV Fear of success is characterized by
these six behaviors; see if you have
any of them: (1) Procrastinating. (2)
Underperforming. (3) Focusing on
those who reject you rather than
those who accept you. (4) Allowing yourself to be side-tracked by so
many insignificant things that you
never get focused on the main thing.
(5) Talking about what you plan to do
'someday'. (6) Feeling others are
worthy of success but not you. Question: Are you serving the Lord?
Then you qualify for success! '...Let the
Lord be magnified, who has pleasure
in the prosperity of His servant.' Yes,
God will help you when you are in
need. But He also wants you to succeed so that you can begin to meet
the needs of others. God told Abraham
two things. First, He promised to bless
him greatly. Second, He promised to
make him a great blessing to others
(Genesis 12:2). And it happened! Solomon writes, '...money answers
everything.' (Ecclesiastes 10:19 NKJV) What did he mean? Money builds
schools, churches and hospitals. It
eradicates poverty and illiteracy. It
finances research that cures life-
threatening illnesses. But some of us
are so focused on Heaven's streets of gold that we no longer see earth's
streets filled with suffering and unmet
needs. Understand this: God will
reward you based on your service to
others. '...the King will answer and say
to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least
of these...you did it to Me."' (Matthew 25:40 NKJV) That should be your greatest motivation for wanting to
succeed. SoulFood: Deut 22-24, Matt 9:1-13, Ps 44:9-16,
