We have established that success is a product, and every product has the due process to get at it including success. Every success story demands labor investment Pro. 22:29. The scriptures make us to understand that serving God is the labor that guarantees all round success for the believer Job 36:11.

What are the Virtues in Kingdom Stewardship that will make for Success?

1. Serving God is a platform for supernatural breakthrough.

Breakthrough can be defined as making progress in the face of obvious oppositions Exo. 14:14-15. Every life is faced with oppositions, but serving God guarantees breakthrough no matter the opposition 1Cor. 16:9; Exo. 23:25-27. The commitment to serve God commits God to the believer’s continuous change of levels and status Lk. 19:13,17-19; Pro. 4:18. Judah entered into a covenant to serve God, and God gave them breakthrough from hardship into rest or success round about 2Chr. 15:12-15. Peter in his frustration committed himself to serve God, his failure and frustration was turned into headline success story Lk. 5:3-8. No man serves God and remains at the same level in life.

• Serving God is a platform for experiencing supernatural favor.

Life on the earth is either by labor or favor Psa. 44:1-3. Serving God delivers the believer from sweat to experiencing favor, where things will begin to happen in his life beyond human effort Psa. 102:13-15; Mat. 6:33. The Israelite made the choice to serve God when their labor at Egypt became unbearable, and their sweat was exchanged for strange divine favor Exo. 4:22-23; 3:21; 12:36. Check out the catalogue of favor they enjoyed:

• The laws of nature were suspended as they kept eating and drinking without any work or planting anything Exo. 16:8,37; 17:6-7.
  • They enjoyed total health all through the wilderness journey Deu. 8:3-4.
  • They enjoyed supernatural abundance all the way Psa. 105:38.

Favor turns life to an attraction, and changes mere men into an envy in life Gen. 39:3-5,20-21.
