SUCCESS OR SALVATION
(What's your vision) ?
Philippians 3:10, 11. |
We are absolutely flooded with
books, audios, videos and TV teachings telling us (those who are foolish enough to
listen) how we may and may not become a success, rich and wealthy, even famous and
best selling authors in this very temporary, short life we now live........God
help us!
BUT WHAT IS SUCCESS AND WHO IS THE AUTHORITY ON THE ISSUE AND IS SUCCESS THE NEW WAY TO
SAVE THE SOUL FROM HELL FIRE, DO YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS?
Every time I have heard a man or
woman talk about, teach or spruik about this word success they have always related it to
possessions, acceptance of men and women, money, gold, comfort, ease........... in a
nutshell ..........self!...............(click

They usually say I am going to get rich so that I then can go forward and help others,
where on earth is this........way..........of doing things promoted in the holy
bible scriptures as part of Jesus, the head of the true church's mandate???????
Let me tell you today of a few holy men who are true successes. They were
Jesus, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, St Paul, St Peter, St Stephen and
Antipas whose name means..................... against all and against fatherland....(click here).
Do any of the above mentioned men have a track record of luxury living, worldly
acceptance, great wealth or peddling the scriptures. To peddle is to go about selling,
whether that be books, audio, cd, dvd, video etc...........
So what is my personal idea of success?.....I dare say, the old woman who gave her last
two coins and had not written it down in her Jerry Savelle/seed time and harvest faithless
journal................. |
- I call success..St Paul who counted
all his worldly religious gain (success) as loss and lost rubbish...................Philippians
3:8.
- I call success.. the prophet Moses who
forsook the riches (success) of Egypt so that he could partake of the suffering
of all the true people of God/Yah.
- I call success..the church at Smyrna,
who were laden with trouble and poverty it was these people that Jesus the judge, the
authority on all success and riches said....Smyrna Saints You Are Rich And A Success
In My Eyes. Even though you appear losers, poor and are without the honour of
unholy men and women.
- Jesus the Christ said to a church of
followers.....you don't know what success really is, you have been blinded by the devil,
you are poor, naked and deep within miserable. To have white spotless garments and me as
your priority in life is real success that you have no need to be ashamed of..........Revelation
3:17, 18.

| IF WE DO NOT WIN A CROWN
OF LIFE WE ARE FAILURES, ETERNAL FAILURES................REVELATION 3:11. |
Success is not falling down as
soon as some religious man or woman (suggests) commands. But it
is falling down and getting back up.............then rectifying the problem, getting
things right with God and then (and not before) going on, amen!!!......the
fool repeats his, her folly......Proverbs 26:11.
The rich man and Lazarus would have to be the greatest success story of the holy bible in
my eyes anyway. The beggar went to heaven and the rich (worldly successful) man
went to hell fire, a real wake up call for the prosperity, more money, mega church come
religious banking societies..........(Luke 16:25 - good and evil things).
I believe that success, true success can never be seen with the naked eye but is
only seen by those who obey the Christ, why?......because the ability to know and possess
the truth has never been given to double minded, man pleasing, lovers of money/pharisees.
The sure way to know a pharisee is.......they are men and women pleasers, ref/Galatians1:10
.......do I still please men and women?
Fathers will has nothing to do with the success of this world or what this world calls
success, Jesus kingdom is nothing to do with this world ..................John 7:17. |
If they hear they hear, if
they refuse they refuse.

peddlers of the holy bible, the millionaire ministers and ministerettes along with the
absolute predestination schools of theology will fare on judgement day.............click here. |
