Beware of Success

Beware of Success if it removes your focus from God.
Beware of Success if it replaces faith from God.
Beware of Success if it takes away fear from God.

You may tell God "I'm successful in this world",
but when your time is up,
God will just tell you, "You're just being a fool".

Don't be a fool.
Don't forget that God is the maker of Your life.
He's not looking for your success in this world,
but Your faithfulness in Him.

- Pastor Jen Huat -

May the lyrics of this hymn ministers to your heart:
Take Time to Be Holy

Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
