It is good for anyone to desire to be successful in your life.  Success is not fixed but a process.

WHAT IS SUCCESS IN LIFE?
Some people spend their entire lives wondering how to be successful in life, but never figure it out.
The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame."

Your individual definition of what success is exactly may vary, but many might define it, as being fulfilled, happy, safe, healthy, and loved. It is the ability to reach your goals in life, whatever those goals may be.

We are surrounded by a materialistic culture and get to experience first-hand the kind of “happiness” it brings when we obtain a specific title or object. You may even feel it from time to time, like buying the new iPhone or basking in the scent of a fresh new car. It’s not necessarily bad to have these things, but many times, the reasons why we crave these things are a bit misconstrued.

The truth, however, is that success is ephemeral in all areas of life. The smell of the new car will fade. The new phone will be replaced — sooner, rather than later — by a more advanced, sleeker, lighter, and better one. Someone younger, stronger, or smarter will eventually come and beat your record.

WHAT IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF SUCCESS IN LIFE?
Why are so many people unhappy with their progress in life? Why do some really rich people commit suicide despite all their achievements in life?

Success centres on attainment of God's set goal for an individual. What is the plan of God for your life?
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (AKJV+ Jer 29:11)
"Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations." (AKJV+ Jer 1:5)
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF SUCCESS IN LIFE

1) HUMAN SUCCESS
What is Human success? It is based on human principles, traditions, norms or methods and cultures.

The cardinal evidence of human success is selfishness with no room for others and disregard for Christian values. It is characterized with lot of struggles, frustrations, resentment, and jealousy because you are always trying to catch up, which always result in fruitlessness. If you continued to chase after these false objects of happiness and success, what you would ultimately be doing is, running around in circles.

2) SATANIC SUCCESS
It is based on evil principles which is contrary to God's word. They pull people down in other to arise. They use diabolical means to attain success. The Bible says, "the thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy." John 10:10 The plan of Satan for every human being is declared in above verse. What ever Satan gives you, he exchanges with your destiny and your life purpose. It's like building your castle in a sandy ground. It will eventually fall.

3) COVENANT OR DIVINE SUCCESS
This is based on God's principles and his word. It is totally driven by God's perfect will. The core objective for covenant success is the Kingdom Business. Covenant Success is established until your assignment is finished on earth. Sometimes the covenant success is slow but it's the best.

There is no fetch or herbalist that's not connected to Satan. Every Covenant Success can be traced to God. But the success you can't show to the public is satanic.

4) HOW DO YOU LOCATE YOUR SUCCESS?
Success is not a native of anyone or country. Don't think that you have to travel to any country before you can be successful.
Locating your success begins by knowing and understanding your divine assignment on earth. 
Every human being was created to solve a problem. Everything God created is a solution to a problem. 
The fact that you are born is an evidence there is a problem you are wired to solve. Your success in life lays in identifying the problems you are created/wired to solve.
I will continue with this important topic next time. I will like you to ponder on this, its not your chieftaincy or whatever titles that makes you successful in life. It's not the number of houses, flitch of cars, houses or the higher position that makes you successful in life. Its identifying your purpose on earth. I want you to know and understand that you are a solution to a problem on this earth.

Just locate that problem GBAM! You are the most successful person in the eyes of God.

May you be fulfilled today in Jesus name!
