The Path Of Success VS Failure

The Path Of Success VS Failure

Pastor Vincent - 15 January 2015

Unmoved Covenant, New Convictions

Do you have an anchor point in your life? One that will pick yourself up in failures and trying situation? God loves His people, and to those who are called to be His children, God promised to be with them in all situations and in all times. And along with His love, He leads His people to a purposeful living that not only save them, also many others through His children. That’s the unmoved covenant of God. Today we’re so absorbed with the daily affairs and momentum of the world that we find the covenant of God though unchanging, but irrelevant. In our problems, we fail to make connections with the gospel we used and have always been hearing, thus feeling frustrated and helpless in the face of reality. Through the message today, may we find answers in the spiritual misconnections we often slip into and realise that in this perverted world where Satan’s work is ever so aggressive, we have to come together and pray all the more. In these, we’ll see how God is still safeguarding and leading us in our crisis, problems and routines through the clear and progressive convictions of the Holy Spirit. Because of the living and active leading of Holy Spirit, God will surely lead us to new breakthroughs, new encounters and new frontiers through our submissions. Be blessed, for Lord’s covenant still stand firm in all our conditions today!

The Path Of Success VS Failure


“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

  • Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
  • Perspective different (opposite) from God.
  • Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
  • Bad choices come with consequences.
  • How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

  • A choice based on faith.
    – Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
    – Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
  • Faith gives rise to simple heart.
  • Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
    – Prayer-centered living
  • Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
