WHAT DOES THE WORD "SUCCESS" MEAN TO YOU?

The battles against your life are not against your success, but more against you using your success for the right purpose. A Failure in life is not someone who is not a non-achiever, but an achiever who is ignorant of the purpose attached to his or her achievements. The world defines success based on what people have and who they are; success is none of the above. Who you are, and what you have are merely raw materials for success. Success is what one ultimately accomplishes by employing and deploying what one has and who one is. Many people are being distracted by what they have and who they are, instead of focusing on what they can accomplish using what God has given them.

There is a purpose attached to everything; doing business with the consciousness of purpose in view is an evidence of wisdom. Don't celebrate "what," at the expense of "why." Dr Benard Etta

TO BE IMPORTANT IS TO BE AN IMPORTER!

Foundation Scripture: John 5, verse 19.


"Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. May the Lord bless his word in our hearts in Jesus name!

Brethren, it is practically impossible to be "important," if we aren't "importers." To be "important" is to "import from above." That was the secret of Christ earthly ministry; He was an "importer", not an impostor.

John 3, verse 31.
The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.

We have so many impostors today masquerading under different titles, but few "importers" who are delivering heavenly goods to the earth realm. Listen to the words of the greatest source of inspiration humanity has ever known.

"Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."

Christ positioned Himself at the "right angle" to the Father to constantly "import" from Him for "earthly distribution," just like the moon positions itself at a proper angle to the sun to reflect the light of the sun.

The era of Christ's earthly ministry was simply a season of the awesome display of "imported substance" from above. He was about his Father's business of "mass importation" from God to earth.

Heaven is full of answers, solutions and breakthroughs meant for the earth, but there are few importers. Listen to what John the Baptist said, a man sent from God.

John 5, verse 27.
"A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."

John was saying, "What is not imported from heaven is considered as "nothing." Heaven is not an asylum for asylum seekers, but a realm accessible via divine grace for the importation of "durable products" for earthly distribution. When last did you import from Heaven? If you are not importing from above, the tendency to pirate what others are importing is very very likely.

Listen, the ministry is not about bearing church titles or occupying positions, but the effective delivery of heavenly "products" to the earth realm. To be an influential minister is to be an "importer" of heavenly things for earthly distribution. Do nothing if you have seen nothing and say nothing if you haven't heard from Heaven. God is looking for importers of the Next Big Things in his mind for this era. Would you make yourself available? To be important is to import from above. That is it! Go for it!

Wisdom To Turn Trash Into Treasure

The wisdom to turn trash into treasure; to make sense out of nonsense, to transform obstacles into miracles; pain to gain; setbacks into a setup for a comeback is the real measurement of maturity. Sometimes, God may not remove the necessity, but would give you the wisdom to transform it into an invention. When Israel saw Goliath, they saw a problem, but David saw an opportunity for greatness. You can't rise above your perspective and perception of issues. I wish you a blessed week.  DrBenard Etta

 

Don't Mistake Disgrace For Grace!

When it is too easy, it isn't always a sign of God's grace at work; it may also be an indication that the "object or mission" even though fabulous, might be of little eternal consequences.

The ideas, visions, and dreams, which have actually changed the world positively, and impacted time and eternity didn't come easy. The absence of battles may not necessarily be an indication of a breakthrough. It might as well be an indication that the axe head, representing the "edge of effectiveness" is missing.

Why on earth would Hell fight an idea, vision and movement when it's aware it isn't longer a threat? That's why the devil sponsors some churches and ministries since they don't threaten his overall plan.

The bottom line is, when one is no longer a menace (threat) to Hell, Hell will stop fighting the individual, while concentrating its resources to fight those carrying the most dangerous lights, which can destroy its deceptions. May God help us to think deep in order not to mistake disgrace for grace. Ponder to be a wonder!
