Scriptural Text:
Ecclesiastes 1:16 (NKJV)
“I spoke with my heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have increased wisdom over all that have been over Jerusalem before me. Yea, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.”
Success is often considered as the ultimate goal in every pursuit. It is seen as a destination, rather than a milestone. While this is acceptable to some extent, it is important to realize that success is not only to be celebrated, but to also be consolidated.
In our opening text, we see King Solomon communing with his heart regarding his greatness. He meditated on his own success, seeking a higher wisdom for life.
Whenever you achieve some success in an area of your life, it is important to sit back and seek to understand how that success came about. The whole essence of this is to reflect on what lessons have been learnt, and how you can apply what has been learnt in such a way to multiply your success.
You can also learn from the success of others. By carefully considering the nature and impact of the success of those around you, you can gain understanding, and learn to replicate that success in your own life.
Therefore, do not be carried away in celebration when you succeed, but also carefully evaluate your success and let this teach you how to consolidate for greater success.

🙏 DAILY PRAYER GUIDE
Oh Lord, give me a wise and understanding heart, so that I may consolidate on my successes, in the name of Jesus.
🏞️ PRAYER FOR A NATION – NAMIBIA
The Church in Namibia is growing. Partnership between Churches are still a problem, but there are cases where denominations are starting to work together to reach the Northern parts and isolated areas of Namibia. As with many African countries, syncretism is a reality as many people mix their cultural practices with Christianity.
1. Prayer for the nation: Oh Lord, cause the few churches in Namibia to be strengthened, so that they may keep their faith in the face of persecution, and draw others to salvation in the name of Jesus.
2. Prayer for the leaders: Oh Lord, cause your fear to rest in the hearts of the leaders of Namibia,, that they may seek to you and depend on you in steering the affairs of the nation, in Jesus Name.
