A very important word that was highlighted today is
Success
Define success
Who do you think is SUCCESSFUL?
Define success
Success has nothing to do with outward appearances. Just because you have a pretty or handsome face it won't mean you're successful.
Who do you think is SUCCESSFUL?
Your parents? Aunty? Uncle? Simon Cowell?
Do you consider yourself successful?
Yes? No? I don't know?
Sons and daughters of God are not failures. You're a precious child of God. When God is with you then you'll be successful. When you fail and rise up again, its successful. Lets read from a verse in the B I B L E

Joshua 1:5-9
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have i not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
So Daniel went to Indonesia sometime back. Everything there was filthy and there was no proper place to live. They had to bathe in the river and that is where everyone pass motion too ! So it was a tough time for him.

Lets look at Job's life. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. So one day Satan decides to strike him and put him to the test. God allows it to happen but He must spare Job's life. Even when all his crops and flocks were attacked and swept away, even when his sons and daughters were swept away by the mighty wind, he fell to the ground in worship and said:
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.
In all things Praise The Lord
God's definition of success
To compare between Job and Joshua, both equally God fearing and a Man of God. BUT ! There's a difference between Job and Joshua.

In Job 42:15, God blessed Job back in the end. No where in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers. Joshua on the other hand did not pass down an inheritance !
Its not about you. Its about the generation to come. YOUR generation to come.You would want people to talk about you to glorify God. A generation that continue to glorify him and please him.
With this, be successful. Leave an inheritance !
