Did you acquire your riches through fraudulent means or you’re planning to do so? The success accruing from such endeavour is called ‘bad success’ and will end in sorrow.
Stonix News reports that the rat race after fraudulent and diabolical means to acquire wealth is rife among Nigerian, especially the youth with many of them engaging in internet frauds popularly called ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ and rituals with human body parts in order to beat the excruciating economic downturn.
As a result, hordes of vibrant youths are either languishing in the gulag of law enforcement agents, have become mentally-deranged or cut down in their prime.
But Adeboye, who’s a septuagenarian grandfather and an experienced Christian General with immense passion for building youths, admonished Christians and the like to eschew the get-rich-guick syndrome in order to evade sudden and eternal regrets.
“If God talked about good success in Joshua 1:8, then this implies that there is bad success.
“As God gives good success, the devil also can give the bad kind. In Matthew 4:8-10, the devil showed Jesus Christ the glory of this world and asked Jesus to worship him, promising that he could give Him all the glories of this world.
“Thank God our Lord Jesus Christ will never worship the devil.
“It is unfortunate, however, that many of His children are turning to worship the devil in exchange for success today.
“Many people indulge in crime, money rituals, and so on to achieve success. That is bad success – success from the devil.
“This is the type that comes with sorrows (Matthew 16:26),” the life coach warned.
While urging his followers to covet true riches from God, the Ifewara-born lover of Yoruba Culture good success brings all-round prosperity.
“When you get good success, God will make you rich materially, as well as emotionally, spiritually, maritally, psychologically, and mentally.
“I don’t know about you, but as for me I want the kind of success that God gives.
“I will tell you why many people do not choose God’s path to success: they believe God’s way is difficult and the devil’s is easier.
“What the devil gives you will eventually fade away and will not be void of troubles; only what God gives will last, give you peace of mind, and keep you holy (Proverbs 10:22)
“Beloved, I don’t want you to desire the success that the world gives, which only brings you happiness for the moment; instead, desire the success that God gives,” he counselled.
