WHAT
IS SUCCESS?
Success
is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and
sowing seeds that benefit others. - John Maxwell
Success
is not determined by acquisitions or opulence. It is the ultimate fulfilment of
an identified purpose – grand or small – for the benefit of others, the glory
of God, and the fulfilment of the person. - Babatunde Oladele

WHAT
IS GOD’S CONCEPT OF SUCCESS?
Jeremiah
9:23-24
Thus
says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty
man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him
who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me. That I am the
LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For
in these I delight,” says the LORD.
Joshua
1:8
This
Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate in
it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written
in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good
success.
WHAT
IS THE CHARACTER OF SUCCESS?
Success
is fulfilling an identified personal life purpose with:
- The fear of God
- Integrity
- Sound Ethical Values
- A Sense of Mission
- Compassion
- Character
Success
is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while
failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the
accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to
either fortune or failure. - Jim Rohn
If
you develop the habits of success, you will make success a habit. - Michael E.
Angier
The
common denominator of success lies in forming the habit of doing things that
failure don’t like to do. - Albert Gray
