ACHIEVING BELIEVERS SUCCESS WITHOUT STRESS OR BURN OUTGen 2:15, 19. Pro 14:23, Eccl 9:10. Eph 4:28. 2Thes 3:12

Physical health/well being is very important for a fulfilled life. For a promise to be kept, a goal/target to be met, for a dream to be realized one must remain alive and well to achieve all. Sometimes, we set goals, we have dreams, catch visions, map out plans and strategies which fails.

We get disappointed because the race is not always to the swift, the battle is not always to the strong. It takes GODS involvement who gives the strength to be able to achieve things and make success. Such disappointment generate reactions which may affect your well being health wise. It takes one who has a balanced spiritual well being to be able to cope with such situations.

Spiritual well being is very important for continuous physical well being. Luke 12:16-21; Prov 28:19-20

We consider three (3) points in the seminar

(a) THE CALL TO BE A BELIEVER(b) THE DIVINE PARTNERSHIP OF A BELIEVER IN SUCCESS(c) THE SURE PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS FOR THE BELIEVER(d) BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITHOUT STRESS OR BURN OUT

A. THE CALL TO BE A BELIEVER - Matt 11:20-30, Rom 10:9-11.

Who is a believer? John 3:16

Matt 11:28-30. A sinner that comes to Christ in repentance and that person forsakes his or her old sinful way of life and practice and then puts his or her trust in God.

We can as well answer this question by paraphrasing Rom 10:9-11. if you are a sinner, the Lord calls you today to repent and start a new life in Christ Jesus.

The underlying factor here is that if you are going to be successful, physically, spiritually and financially, you need to have faith in the redeeming work of Christ at Calvary, believe in His promises and have faith and confidence in His delegated ability and authority to the believer (Eph. 1:3-5, 9-10, 17-23. Heb 11:6, Mark 9:23)

In Christ, all spiritual blessings belongs to the believer, you should know this and act upon it.

B.THE DIVINE PARTNERSHIP OF A BELIEVER IN SUCCESSJohn 15:1-8, 3john 2, Ps 1:1-3, 1Peter 1:3-4, John 15:5b, Gen 39:3

The moment we become born again, believers in Christ the LORD partners with us in all areas of life to enable us succeed.

As we make progress in our spiritual life so also the LORD enable us to make progress and prosper physically.

Ps 1:1-6,. In John 15:5 the Lord said without Him we can do nothing.

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

C. THE SURE PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS FOR THE BELIEVERJoshua 1:8 Deu 28:2-14, Gen 39:3, Deu 29:9, 2chro 20:20.

As we remain with the LORD and His word abides in us, progress, prosperity, success will be our daily experience in JESUS NAME. Your case is going to be like that of Joseph. Gen 39:3 AND HIS MASTER SAW THAT THE LORD WAS WITH HIM, AND THAT THE LORD MADE ALL THAT HE DID TO PROSPER. IN HIS HAND.

Joseph prospered in Egypt.

You will prosper in the place where you are.

D. BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITHOUT STRESS OR BURN OUTExodus 23:12, 31:15, 34:21, 35:2. Mark 6:31

God gave the example. He ceased activity on the seventh day. Physical rest is enjoined. God modelled the Sabbath rest principle because of its importance for our spiritual physical, mental and emotional well being. If we violate this Sabbath rest principle, we suffer weariness spiritually, mentally, physically and otherwise. Rest renews our minds, our soul and bodies.

Jesus Christ gave us examples by leaving the crowd, and staying alone is mountains and gardens.

The principle of rest is so important spiritually and physically that God made it one of the ten commandments for we His covenant people (Exo. 20:8-11).
