Success and Faith in God Go Hand-in-Hand

Posted by Mak Peter on February 3rd, 2021

What is your idea of success? What state, that after accomplished, do you call yourself to be successful? Is the success you’re looking for actually serving its purpose? So what is success? And how do you think that success can impact your life?

Vanessa Winbush Gatlin provides a thought-provoking concept on the meaning of success in her book, “The Hidden Secret of Success.” She enlightens the reader to actually know and reflect on what gives us true happiness. She is of the opinion that no one can be truly successful if they haven’t felt and known God in their life. Feeling God’s presence, acknowledging His existence, seeking His help, and believing that HE will let you overcome all the trials and tribulations, paying gratitude to all that He has bestowed on us, is how one can know God.

We as humans, go astray. Wandering, traveling to places in search of happiness, thinking that possessing the most valuable of possessions will cheer us up. For a moment, it may. But the human nature is always in a state of desire. It’s impossible for us humans to stop wanting more. And this void that makes us seek happiness in material things cannot ever be filled with anything else other than the love for God.

All our lives, we are in a state of seeking. Looking for things to satisfy our desires and yet remain oblivious to the fact that it is only in the remembrance of God that hearts find rest. In God, lies our satisfaction, pleasure, and calm that we look for elsewhere.

Do you think that your problems are too big? Too big to be resolved by the one who gave life to every creature? The Master of this entire Universe?

One needs to constantly remember Him, for humans are, by nature, forgetful. We must have a strong faith in God and rest all our worries, troubles, and challenges with Him. Indeed, the secret to a contented, successful, and happy life is a strong faith in God.
