Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Friday October 16, 2015 Daily Devotional – Empty Yourself

Topic: Empty Yourself [Friday 16 October, 2015]

“…Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither…”- Job 1:21

Everyone has an equal opportunity to either succeed or fail in life. We all have equal starting points, but most people miss it during the race. Success is simply reaching your given goal satisfactorily. To get to this point, you must have done all it takes – emptied yourself to see that your goal in life is achieved.

Everyone yearns for success; unfortunately not everyone is willing to pay the demands for it. Truth is: The price for success is rigourous and until you are ready to handle the rigour, you might not see the glory in it. Success in life is guarded by your input, and you can only get in return as much as you put in.

The truth is: You can be successful at anything, if only you put your interest, skills and full determination into it. There is no special trade that makes for a successful life; it’s your determination to excel that makes you successful at anything.

Some people think success is hitting a mark on something, but it is an adventure. The good news is that success is self-motivating. This means that when you are successful at a task, there is always a crave to attain more success. So, your focus should be on locating a goal, running towards it and when you hit that mark, setting another mark and striving to do more. The more you go, the more you keep succeeding and the more potential you discover. So, there is no end to success, there is only a starting point. More so, all that you need to succeed is inside of you. Locate it and keep at it. Don’t leave this earth without the satisfaction that you have emptied yourself. That’s where true success lies. You shall be great in the name of Jesus Christ!
Remain Blessed!
