THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS   John 15:5 "Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit,because apart from me you can do nothing."    2Peter 1:8 "For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [[a]full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."(AMP)   "So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can't see what's right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books." (The Message)    Many a time so called 'good' christians,particularly catholics think that it is sufficient to practice devotion to Jesus and to our Blessed Mother and to the saints.This is good in itself.  But mere devotion and formal prayers are not sufficient.This devotion and love for God should produce fruits by the grace of God.Devotion should lead to a strong faith, and faith should be evidenced by our developing good character and this in turn by relying on God's grace should produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our lives. These 'fruits' otherwise known as christian qualities or christlikeness will not only ensure eternal life but would also equip one to lead a victorious and successful life in this world.Faith is a gift of God and faith comes from hearing the Word of God.Faith becomes strengthened and real when we become 'doers' of the Word of God.Therefore reading the Bible and praying sincerely is a very important first step.The next step is acting on the faith that comes from reading the Word of God.This is how the saints came close to God and were made powerful by God.This should help us to understand why so many christians particularly catholics lead a miserable existence in this world.God wants us His children to be blessed and successful in this life also.     itfhrp khjk; 27k; jpfjp tpRthr jpd jpahdk; flTspd; fsQ;rpaj;jpypUe;J jpdKk; ngWk; thf;FWjpfs; rp.vr;.];gH[d;   tho;f;ifiag;NghyNt fdpAk; ,Uf;Fk;         ,itfs; cq;fSf;F cz;lhapUe;J ngUfpdhy;> cq;fis ek;Kila fHj;juhfpa ,NaR fpwp];Jit mwpfpw mwptpNy tPzUk; fdpaw;wtHfSkhapUf;fnthl;lhJ (2.NgJ.1:8). ek; fdpfspdhy; Mz;ltiug; ngUikg;gLj;j ehk; tpUk;gpdhy; ek;kpy; rpy jd;ikfs; ,Uf;fNtz;Lk;.
