THE SECRET OF GREATNESS

"And what is exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power." (Ephesians 1:9)

French writer, alex de tocqueville once said, "I sought for greatness of the united state  in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile field, and boundless fortress-and it was not there. i sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce, her public school system, and in her institution of higher learning and it was not there. I look for it in her democratic congress and her matchless constitution- and it was not there. Not until i went into the church of America and heard her pulpit flame with righteousness did i understand the secret of her genius and power. if America stop to be good it will cease to be great!

  Instead of seeking salvation and holiness, without which no man shall see the lord , many youth get into a rush for pleasure and lose touch with genuine life, righteousness, and faith in God that will guild them to the lord. greatness comes from God. let righteousness , therefore, define your greatness.

challenge: stay in constant touch with the source of genuine life.

prayer: lord, help to make righteousness my way of life
