What does success depend on?
Andrés Cisterna
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The speaker invites the audience to open their Bibles to Job 22, and presents six principles for success in the way of the Lord. The first principle is to have intimacy with the Lord, to be friends with Him and to seek peace and security through this relationship. The second principle is to be attentive to the word of the Lord, to read and internalize it, and not leave it for tomorrow. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Bible, and encourages listeners to teach their children about God's works and to have a heart sensitive to the Lord's proposal.
The speaker discusses the importance of repentance and urgency in our relationship with God. By returning to the Almighty and having a genuine approach to the Lord, we can remove affliction from our lives and have wealth and success. The speaker encourages us to establish a time of prayer and communion with God and fulfill our obligations to His church and our neighbors. By walking in faith and focusing on prayer and reading the word, we can find tranquility and security in our relationship with God.

I want to invite you to open your Bible to the book of Job, chapter 22. I am going to take some points, a series of sermons that I had in our church, today I do not intend to do a sequence, rather I want to invite you to have a time of meditation and to put our hearts in the presence of the Lord, and let Him minister to us, that He can speak to us about our spiritual situation.

Worldly people always say, it is something that in the church there are also people who are after success, right? sometimes family, competitive, educational formation takes us, and when we arrive at church we are also driven by that, pastors are also sometimes obsessed with ideas of success when we watch television and see those great churches, we consider and I am often successful, we consider successful when there is a pastor who can travel all over the world, I don't know if it would be such a success to be tired on a plane for so many hours, not being able to see the family, not being able to see the children.
