Consider this: Leaders are Readers. If you
want success, you need to read.
The problem
with success principles in the church is that we mislead believers into
thinking that God wants us rich and successful by worldly
standards, or that we can be influential using human skills instead of
God's truth. God doesn't want us either rich or poor. He wants us
to submit to his will, and to be content with
whatever we have. Once we learn to do that, he'll
show us how to use either riches or poverty for his purposes.
Contentment doesn't mean complacency. We should always be willing to
let go of who we are for who we must become, and where we are for
where God would have us. .
