HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE

Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. (2 Chronicles 26:3-5 NIV) We all like success stories - especially about people who had nothing and then had a measure of success in their lives. The problem lies in the fact that we hear and read "their" stories and somehow think that will never happen to any of us. That... we we're somehow destined to be "unsuccessful" in our endeavors. That's a lie from the pit of hell! God has His thumbprint on every one of our lives and has a success story for every one of us today. If we do the will of God and follow God with all our heart - we are a success no matter what we do. Sure, we might not all be kings or presidents of nations but we are all called to do something specific in life - whether it is loving children in the church nursery or running a large corporation. IF we just dod what God has called us to do - we are a success. Uzziah was only sixteen years of age. He didn't wait until he was older. He immediately began to do what God had called him to do. He "sought" the Lord and "listentened" to those who instructed him which was the formula for success. Don't believe the lies of the enemy today. God loves you and has a great plan for your life. Follow God with all your heart and you will always be a success in God's eyes!
