THEME :
GOOD SUCCESS
Memorise :
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. Proverbs 1:32
Bible Reading: Joshua 1:8,
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.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : ISAIAH 61:64 and ACTS 13:6-25
Message :
The Bible classifies success into good success and negative or bad
success. Of course, to the carnal mind, the idea of bad success is an
irony. The Lord defined the type of success that emanates from Him in
Proverbs 10:22
“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
In other words, if a so-called blessing is not from the Lord, certainly
there will be some sorrow attached to it. This kind of success cannot
be said to be good. Little wonder God Almighty prescribed what will
bring good success to Joshua, as there are other type of success.
The blessing of the Lord makes you live long to enjoy the fruit of your
labour (Psalm 91:6). The Lord who blesses is the same one who protects.
If you are afraid of calamity after a breakthrough, maybe the source of
that so-called breakthrough is not God. No man can temper with good
success that emanates from God. Some people are afraid of success
because of what people will say about them. You can go ahead and
continue to run from success if the success is not coming from God,
because it cannot be good success. However, when your breakthrough or
success is directly from God, no witch, wizard or herbalist can tamper
with it.
In Genesis 26:12-14, we read about a classical example
of good success record by Isaac. This man was so blessed that even the
king of the Philistines envied him. The secret of this good success is
found in the Genesis 26:2-6. Isaac obeyed the voice of God, stayed where
God asked him to stay and he became prosperous with good success.
Good success is not far from those who determine to obey God all the
way. In today’s Bible text, God revealed the secret of good success to
Joshua which every child of God must pay attention to. God told Joshua
that for Him to have good success, the book of the law should not just
be in his mouth, he was to meditate therein constantly in order to
observe to do according to its contents. This truth is reinforced in
James 1:25:
“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”
If you want to obtain good success therefore, be a doer of the work in God’s Word
Prayer Point :
Father, please grant me good success in all of my endeavours this year in Jesus’ Name.
Good morning sir/ ma.
The goodness of God will enveloped us in Jesus name!
Shalom!!
