Marriage should come with a warning label. The divorce rate is almost 50%, and the younger you get married, the higher the likelihood of divorce. The reason for such statistics is that most of us don't understand what marriage is and the maturity required to live a married life.

Lack of talent or anointing is not the reason many believers are unsuccessful in their calling. The real culprit is a lack of focus. Without focus, success is slow at best and nowhere to be found at worst.

If you ask most Christians why they want success in business, they'll say something like, "to make a lot of money, so I can extend the kingdom of God." This is a noble motivation, but most Christians who say this are lying to themselves, because they believe God would not approve of their true motive. Here's the problem: when you lie to yourself about why you want success, you won't be successful. Success is built on true motives. And guess what, if your true motive is to make a lot of money to have an enjoyable life for you and your family, God is cool with that. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept, so you can have an honest conversation with yourself about your motives for success.

The vision God has given you requires many decisions that need to be made for you to accomplish it, from simple decisions like the color of your website to major decisions like where should your business or ministry be located. So, is God directing every single decision you need to make? Not really. It is more like a partnership with God than God being a dictator. He is not micromanaging every decision you need to make in your calling.

It is very tempting to criticize another Christian when we see them doing something that goes against our understanding of scripture. For example, you see a pastor asking her followers to sow into her ministry, so she can purchase a private jet. Perhaps you see a Christian music artist starting to sing secular music. Maybe a Christian entrepreneur is operating his business differently than you would expect of a Christian. And the list can go on and on. Here's the problem: when you criticize another Christian as they are operating in their calling, you're not really criticizing them, you're criticizing God. This puts your own calling in jeopardy and limits your own success. Listen to today's podcast and learn more about this concept.

I don't have a Daily Word for you today—I just wanted to come on and wish you a merry Christmas. Enjoy time with your family and friends. If you don't have family to connect with this Christmas, find someone to serve. Serving others is one of the best things you can do on Christmas, whether you're with family or not. So make it a point to serve someone today.

As you go through Christmas Day, take time to pray for those who may be hurting or missing loved ones during this season. Reach out to someone you haven't spoken to in a while. Share your love with them. Check in and make sure they're doing okay.

I pray you're having a joyful Christmas, and I'll be back with another Daily Word tomorrow.

Be blessed, and I'll talk to you soon.

It may seem like you have been working endlessly to accomplish your vision with little to no success. But whatever God has called you to do, it has a due season for success. However, the caveat to receiving your due season is not to quit and not to lose faith. In today's message, build up your faith to step into your due season.
