"BE STILL, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

We have come to the last letter of success and the conclusion of this series.

We have a double S in the letter SUCCESS left for us to treat. The first of the two is:

Creation is God's accomplishment. Redemption is God's finished business. God succeeds in everything He does. He uses failure as a raw material to fabricate and facilitate success. Where there is nothing, He creates something. He lays His hands on something and transforms it into something else.

So far we have considered the Source of success, Uncommon passion for success, Concrete planning for success, and now we focus on:

Jesus Christ started and finished His earthly mission on earth, and that is success. Paul and a host of others commenced and completed their earthly assignments. I believe nothing should stop you from succeeding in your divine vocation.

Success has no alternatives. It is either one fails or succeeds. Middle ground does not exist.

I state categorically that success has no alternative. You can't afford to fail in this life. God has put inside of you everything it takes to succeed here on earth, regardless of the challenges that life throws at you. You have an inbuilt capacity to succeed and excel in whatever you set your mind to do.

Let me say right away that success has no alternative. But before we proceed, let us inquire, What's success?

"And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"
