Matthew 16:26
What food will it be for man if he gains the whole, world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
HE WAS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN with a good family, Involved in his church, he had reached, he began thinking if God was calling him to do this full-time.
That's when the battles began. ''How could I do this full-time when I haven't realized all of my dreams and goal in the business world? he thought. Can you relate to this mans' struggles?
Unrealized goals and aspiration can keep you chained to your less noble dream and hinder you from moving to a level of significant in life. When Christ calls you to serve Him, He attaches no prerequisites to His invitation.
The problem is that our culture's definition of success as equal to money, position, powerful so penetrated our thinking that we need to reprogram ourselves from it. Success is not money, power or fame. Rather, true success is seeking finding and doing the will of God for your life.
The battle for your mind is a very real one. The apostle Paul said to Romans, "Don't become so well-adjusted to your cultures that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you" (Romans12:2).
Give God your dreams, for only then will you see the greater pictures of what His will for you.
