TOPIC: YOU CAN WORK OUT YOUR SUCCESS

“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.” Joshua 1:8

You can create a life of success for yourself. According to the scriptures, success can be worked out. Our opening scripture says “…..thou shalt make thy way prosperous” meaning it is in your hand. So the question is how can this be done?

The scripture has given us one sure recipe for success and it broke it down for our understanding. First, it says the word of God should not depart out of your mouth. This means it has to continually be your confession. This is important because words are seed, and whatever seed you are planting today will yield a harvest of its fruits tomorrow. So if you are speaking words of blessings from the word upon yourself then you can tell just where you are going to be in the near future and vice versa. Then it says you shall meditate on it. This means you have to think on it, brood on the word. 

Your meditations have the power to inspire your thought pattern and the bible says as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. So let your thoughts be inspired by what God has said about you. Then it says you shouldn’t end with just saying the word and meditating on it but go ahead to do. The book of James tells us to be doers of the word and not hearers only. So it is important you find out from Gods word your own part that you must do after you have meditated and declared the word. 

You don’t declare and then sit and fold your arms; there is a place on acting based on the words you have declared.

Then it says, with your own hands, by your own self you shall make a success out of your life.

Success is not accidental, it is not by chance, it is created. Begin to create yours today by applying Gods principle for a prosperous life. Have a great day.

CONFESSION: Thank you Heavenly Father for the wisdom of your word that is at work in me, causing me to prosper in all that I lay my hands to do and helping make a success out of life. I am successful and prosperous in Jesus name. Amen.
