Genesis 12:1-3 (NIRV)

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s family. Go to the land I will show you. ² “I will make you into a great nation. And I will bless you. I will make your name great. You will be a blessing to others. ³ I will bless those who bless you. I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. All nations on earth will be blessed because of you.”

1 Timothy 6:17-18 (AMP)

As for the rich in this present world, instruct them not to be conceited and arrogant, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. ¹⁸ Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share [with others].

Proverbs 11:28 (AMP)

[4] will always derail success

Jentezen Franklin

I believe the price for a full life, is mistakes… if you learn from them… Hell wants to main you and mock you with your mistakes. But heaven wants to make you and transform you by your mistakes. Failure should not become a prison house where you’re held hostage the rest of your life by your mistakes. That’s not Gods voice. That’s not Gods will. That’s not Gods plan for you…
