Road To Success

 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Matthew 21:22)

My dear friend, many of you would be looking to join new courses in colleges. I am praying sincerely for God to bless your academic life in college. It is God’s desire to bless you. He wants you to lead a successful life and be exalted in life. We are living in a highly competitive world. People are waiting to snatch your opportunity. The Lord Jesus Himself has said that the people of this world are very shrewd (Luke 16:8). Is there a way for you to succeed in this world? I would like to place before you certain facts which would help you to overcome all hurdles and succeed in life. The Bible says, “This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith” (I John 5:4). Hence you need faith to overcome this world. Through faith you can conquer everything (Hebrews 11:33).

Having faith as a pivotal ingredient of every believer’s life, we need to exercise our faith, improving our approach towards the word of God. We need to keep ourselves holy and pure.  You may say I am trying to get rid of my bad habits and addictions but I fall back into it. There was a Puppy that was very mischievous. Unable to bear its mischief, his master tied him to a pillar with a long rope. Although the Puppy tried its best to run away it could not go beyond ten feet. As days passed by, the Puppy has learnt to play within that small area. After a few weeks, his master untied the Puppy. But still the Puppy did not run away. It was just playing within the small area, because it got used to playing within that area. He was mentally prepared to stay within his limits. So when you stay in Christ and experience His unfailing Love, you will never go astray from the Lord.

My dear friend, by this you will be safe in this world and also you will not be controlled by this world. Satan never allows us to progress in life. The people of this world keep on discouraging us. Satan also does the same. Are you lagging behind in anything? Are you worried because you are unable to study well? Do you lack wisdom? When you ask the Lord with faith He will certainly grant you His wisdom (James 1:5, 6). Yes, always remember that faith is very important. Only when you have faith, you can receive wisdom. The bible says “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10). Then you will excel in your studies and be exalted in life. We have a God who answers our prayer (Psalm 65:2). Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it (Matthew 21:22; Mark 11:2)
