THREE KEYS TO SPIRITUAL SUCCESS

Majority of us, if not all of us wish to attain success in life. However, since success is a journey which calls for renewal of commitments and calls daily for perseverance. Spiritual success is not different from the daily life success. It is characterized by various obstacles which hinder us from attaining our goals. Nevertheless, there are three fundamental keys which can open the door of spiritual success.    

The first key is to be in touch with the word of God “The Scripture”. The Gospel of John enlightens us about the Word, he says “In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. When we read and meditate the scriptures we get in touch with God and thus, give us a better understanding of God.

The second key is prayer. A sincere prayer is productive. Our lives are fragile and can only be successful if they are held with prayer. It may seem risk and boring believing in Christ but the fruits are enjoyable. The amour against trials is prayer as it can be evident in the scriptures with Jesus. Before even making day-to-day decisions we need to prayer over them.

The third key is spiritual support. Spiritual accompaniment is very profound if we want to the spiritual success. It can be instrumental in our spiritual and human growth. Sharing our worries and fears is always a path of inner healing. This sharing is only possible when we have someone closer to us and whom we journey along with towards holiness together. The spiritual companion can help us in prayer in various situations which ourselves cannot make it by ourselves.

These three keys need to held firm by someone who wants to go far and grow in his/her relationship with God. Personally these three keys have been helpful to me and still on my journey to grasp them. The same keys can help the world today in situations where it goes astray.
