Wrong Values Result in Undesirable Outcomes

We are ONLY entitled to the life Jehovah INTENDED for His purpose; and if for whatever reason we succeed in manipulating circumstances in furtherance of misguided selfish ambitions there will be NO FULFILLMENT.

EVERYONE has a life that someone else would literally die for in the natural world with a majority remaining in a perpetual state of ingratitude; opting instead to pursue things others have UNTIL they EVENTUALLY lose that which they had and took for granted.

Jehovah WILL NOT bless persons who ungratefully squander His Gifts and talents; diminishing what’s theirs whilst lusting after the accomplishments of others.

It is POINTLESS pursuing ANYTHING APART FROM JEHOVAH; as such accomplishments ultimately manifests pyrrhic victories.

We define pyrrhic victory as “a victory that is not worth winning because so much is lost to achieve it”; it invariably inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to a defeat.

The best example of pyrrhic victories are the accomplishments of women excelling in their professional endeavors acquiring tremendous wealth and status; making them NOT amenable to being a wives consistent with Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles in FURTHERANCE OF FAMILY as He INTENDED, ending up disillusioned and alone in their personal lives.

Likewise men who are excessively busy acquiring and indulging hedonistic pursuits in the world APART FROM being a husband; consistent with Kingdom Principles invariably are LOSERS in spite of being able to afford creative distractions from what is otherwise really a lonely and miserable life.

We live in an UNJUST world where seemingly the majority whom play by the rules which were really intended for the masses WILL get shafted; with the double whammy of a popular culture promoting and encouraging DISOBEDIENCE to Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles as the ONLY GUARANTEED way to realizing GOOD SUCCESS.

When we exercise freewill and choose OBEDIENCE to Jehovah by observing Kingdom Principles as per the Holy Bible; His plans for our lives as the ULTIMATE OUTCOME WILL BE DONE ON EARTH.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, suggests that those persons continuously striving yet seemingly NEVER satisfied; are merely manifesting that Jehovah is NOT their God hence the success they’re manifesting is really NOT GOOD SUCCESS.

Joshua 1:8 KJV “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

Ambition fueled by greed and envy is NOT of Jehovah the Giver of ALL gifts and talents; hence ANYTHING that breeds contempt and dissatisfaction with the life we have is MOST DEFINITELY of the devil.

Appreciation of one’s life should not require comparisons with others less fortunate; as there will ALWAYS be persons better or worse off by ALL human success matrices APART FROM JEHOVAH’S PURPOSE for our respective lives.

I have learnt to appreciate, enjoy and give thanks to Jehovah for ALL things He has ENTRUSTED to my care beginning with my wife as PRIORITY # 1; herein lies the secret to realizing GOOD SUCCESS by PRACTICING OBEDIENCE to the Word instead of seeking validation and affirmation from a misguided world.

ENTITLEMENT has robbed too many of us of our blessings by perpetuating a psychological trap of desiring things not possessed at the expense of what we have;INGRATITUDE continues to steal our joy causing many to NEGLECT the very things and persons that were once PRIORITY # 1 on our prayer list – How ironic is that?

Separate and apart from the need to be OBEDIENT to Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles, even the economic law of diminishing marginal utility states that all else equal, as consumption increases, the marginal utility derived from each additional unit declines; which explains the futility in striving after more of ANYTHING before FULLY INVESTING IN & APPRECIATING that which we already possess given the LIMITED DAY’s OF OUR LIVES.

It is not that new things are necessarily better but rather that most of us are psychologically predisposed to appreciating the unknown; whilst oftentimes foolishly having contempt for the familiar which manifests as taking for granted. 

Self Fulfilling Prophecy is the double edged sword that impacts ALL our lives for better or worse; whereby appreciation breeds positive outcomes and contempt precisely the opposite.

We invariably attract the outcomes reflected by our personal aura and dispositions; invariably causing us to receive precisely the kinds of energies we give to others.

He who appreciates even the seemingly little things in nature will receive much in Jehovah’s Kingdom.

Seek First the Kingdom of Jehovah and His Righteousness and all things will be added according to His purpose for our lives.
