The Path Of Success VS Failure

The Path Of Success VS Failure

Preacher Huijun - 30 January 2016

Jesus' Scandalous Mercy

In , Jesus told Matthew, a tax collector to “Follow Me”. Matthew, who was financially sound but deeply accused inside, dropped everything and followed him. Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners. He associated Himself with those who were being despised and rejected by the society, or rather at that time, the Pharisees, who perceived themselves as holy and righteous. Jesus’s heart goes to those who desire mercy, not sacrifice. Do we tend to trivialize our own bads but magnify others’? Do you see yourselves as the accused sinners or the self-righteous sinners? Do we see ourselves in need of God's mercy, instead of our own's merit?

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.
