Have you ever considered how Jesus succeeded on earth to the
point that His words and acts are still being celebrated, and His followers are
increasing tremendously by the hour? Jesus came on a mission and He finished
within a short but good record time. What could have been His success secrets?
This article gives the secrets of Jesus’ success on earth.
And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not
left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him– John 8:29 (NKJV)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who
were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him – Acts 10:38 (NKJV)
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of
the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name
which is above every name, - Philippians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
Jesus’ ministry on earth was only for
three and half years but was so impactful and successful; within this period He
laid an unshakeable foundation that His disciples are still building on and
will continue to build on till He returns. His success secrets (which if you
act upon) are able to reproduce the same success story in your life. Let’s look at them:
The
Success Secrets of Christ.
1. Obedience
Jesus was very obedient to the instructions
of His father. He came first and foremost in obedience to God. God needed
someone to redeem man and He sent Christ to do so – Galatians 4:4-5. And
throughout His stay on earth, He lived a life of obedience unto God. This
enabled Him to carry God’s presence all through His time on earth (John 8:29).
And according to John 3:2, no man can do
the miracles that Jesus did except God is with him. In other words, Christ’s
obedience to God led to the miracles that occurred through Him. Furthermore,
obedience led to His name being exalted above every other name – Philippians
2:9
2. Wisdom
Jesus was the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians
1:24) but He needed to be filled with wisdom to be able to succeed in His
assignment – Luke 2:40. In many occasions He applied wisdom to overcome the
Pharisees’ plots. And His teachings were done with great applications of
wisdom. Read more..
