3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

INTRODUCTION: Some people live moderately when they have “no money.” They possess an enviable status until success comes but find it difficult to manage it. Hence, it is necessary to prepare for how to manage the success you so desire even before it comes. Success is the accomplishment of a goal. To manage success is to maximise and maintain your accomplishment such that it does not overwhelm you, or disrupt your relationship with God and people. Only God makes an individual have good success. Joseph’s life is an illustration that success is best handled when it is used for the benefit of people.

Tips To Managing Success

1. ATTITUDE FOR SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

Some people allow success to dictate their lives. However, when success is well-managed, it breeds another success. Here are some approaches to managing success:

HUMILITY in the face of success is required (Proverbs 11:2; 27:2). Do not be like King Uzziah who lifted his heart to his destruction after God made him strong (2 Chronicles 26:16).

GRATITUDE is a fundamental attitude to maintaining success (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Recognise that your success is not solely your doing but also a result of God’s blessings and the support of your team. Show gratitude to God and your teammates (James 1:17; Romans 16:3-4).

BLESS PEOPLE around you with your resources and advance God’s kingdom (Luke 12:16-20; Proverbs 22:9).

AVOID GREED if you want to manage your God-given wealth (1 Timothy 6:10).

LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY to avoid distraction from your relationship with God and your commitment to a God-honouring life (Matthew 6:33).

RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD for how you use your success and resources (Matthew 25:14-30).

MAINTAIN INTEGRITY AND ETHICAL CONDUCT (Proverbs 10:9). Success should not be achieved through dishonest or unethical means. Maintaining your integrity is crucial.

BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR CHOSEN FIELD. prayerfully get a good mentor for yourself and set new goals.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Have you ever regretted mismanaging your resources? Share your experience.

2. TIPS TO MANAGING SUCCESS

Success is beautiful. It has many friends but has to be controlled. There are certain tips every successful person must understand. These include:

Success is relative to who defines it. Your success should be relative to how it benefits other people (Acts 9:36-39, 10:38).

Understand that there is good and bad success (Joshua 1:8; Exodus 5:2).

Your success is the outcome of the collaborative efforts of God, you and several people, known and unknown to you (1 Samuel 30:20-24). There is no self-made man (1 Corinthians 4:7).

Your ultimate success may be the beginning of another person’s journey to success (1 Samuel 16:1, 13-14).

There is no permanent success. You need to maintain your relationship with God (2 Chronicles 26:16; 35:21-23), work hard (Philippians 3:13-14) and have a productive team (Nehemiah 3:13-15).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: How do you view some people who show off their wealth?

CONCLUSION: The Bible teaches that success is a gift from God and should be managed with humility and gratitude.

EVALUATION: The students should mention two lessons believers can learn from the success of Joseph as well as three ways not to handle success.

CLOSING PRAYER: My Father, I surrender my will to You, use my success for Your glory.

ASSIGNMENT: Mention five (5) Bible characters who honoured God with their success (2X5=10 Marks).
