Another glorious week is here again. This week brings us the light of success and the life of living in it. Who doesn't want to be successful in life? I sound really silly right, but let's ask ourselves if we really want to be successful? Lets look at some Keys which put your SUCCESS ON HAND.
THE WORD OF GOD: Looking at Proverbs 4:20-22, Inclining our ears means paying attention and obeying. This exudes OBEDIENCE. GOD also admonishes us to keep them in our hearts because His Word is life to us. What can we say about this Word of Life? The Word of GOD points to us in Joshua 1:8 HONESTY(thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein...) ie. to say that if you don't observe even a single one of them you miss out. Honesty is always important. You want to be successful, go to the Word of GOD. Honesty and Obedience always walk hand in hand. Without Obedience, there is no Honesty.
This Word of Life also build up FAITH in us. Remember in Hebrews 10:38 we the just have to live by faith? Yes the faith we have to live by comes from this very Word of GOD(Romans 10:17). Faith is always what wins the day for us. Without reading that you are successful, you would never see yourself and believe yourself to be successful in Jesus Christ.
GRACE: Grace is unmerited favour. Pastor Joel Osteen once said Grace always superceeds the opposition!!! HALLELUJAH!!! This I must say, I strongly believe. 2 Corinthians 12:9; And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Amen. When we come up against the issues of life. This shows us the importance of Grace. We first have to openly admit our weakness to GOD. Admitting our weakness allows the strength of GOD to take over as it says in the verse and His strength take us accross for our success. So we can always say GRACE SUPERCEEDS THE OPPOSITION!!! Philippians 4:13. GLORY TO GOD!!!
DILIGENCE: This key is always the part where some believers fail in. Diligence is giving your all when you have been assigned a portion of work to do. Diligence isn't doing the work partially or not at all. Lets see Proverbs 13:4; The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Amen. To be a success we have to be diligent. You have to work hard and be truthful. People wonder why others are successful and they aren't. Diligence is the key!!! If you are lazy, then your bed has already being made!!! You will desire much but have nothing!!!
But at the end of the day, when it's all been said and done, true success is all about knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. People are successful and yet unhappy because they don't know Jesus. I'd that we be successful and know our Lord as well. Remember what GOD says in Isaiah 55:10; For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Amen. Trust the Word of Truth to acheive it's purpose in your life today because it is the power of our GOD unto the salvation of our souls(Romans 1:16). Success here being a salvation of our souls from the bondage of failure. The Word of GOD has been given the mandate to bring prosperity to your life!!!
THE WORD OF GOD coupled with the unmerited GRACE OF GOD, and on our part FAITH, DILIGENCE, HONESTY and OBEDIENCE will make our success on hand. GLORY TO GOD!!! Have a fruitful week filled with the supernatural blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
