Do you want to make it in life? Do you want to have good success in everything you do? There is only one sure way. The answer you seek is here. Read this:
Joshua 1:7-8 is quite popular and in it lies my secret #4. In life we are looking to be successful but we look for success in the wrong places or we do the wrong things to obtain success. Smh.
By the way let me mention there are two types of success: Good success and Bad success (will talk more about the two in another article). And it's only God gives good success.
Now, if you want the good success; the kind of success that lasts, that glorifies God, that comes from godly wisdom, unperverted and God-given, you find it in His Word.
"...for if you are careful to obey every one of them (God's Word), you will be successful in everything you do. ...And you yourself must think about them everyday and every night so that you will be sure to obey all of them. For only then will you succeed."
Rules for good success:
- Be careful to obey God's Word: It's not your going to church that proves you are Jesus' disciple. It is your obedience to God's Word that actually proves that.
And one thing is sure when you obey, you will be 'successful in everything you do'. Follow God's Guide Book of Life and obey it and there won't be any room for mistakes.
- Meditate on it daily. Let it sink into your spirit and become part of you. When you do this, it is impossible to forget God's Word. Meditation puts the Word of God into your spirit.
And because this Word is a weapon (the sword of the Spirit) hidden in your heart, it will always erupt whenever you need it...urhm...which is like everyday. We need God's Word every second of our lives. Personally I can't do without it. Lol.
But how can you obey or meditate when you don't study His Word?
Stop doing the wrong things to gain success. Yes, you may become 'successful' through wrong doing but it's definitely not the good success.
Stop looking to any man in order to be successful in life rather look unto God alone. He is the One who holds the key to good success!

Good one here! My problem has been how to meditate on the word. Dont really know how to go about it. Is it thinking about it or what? Is it always trying to remember a verse i read and carry it in my mind every time? Confused much.
ReplyDeleteMeditation is not about cramming d scriptures word for word. It's more than that. It's a spiritual exercise where you think deeply on God's Word.
ReplyDeleteThe essence is for d Holy Spirit to help u understand d heart or d message of what u just read. It brings the revealed Word (Rhema) to u.
Meditation puts God's Word in ur spirit. It will cause the Scripture to “dwell in you” and become a source of wisdom in your mind, will, and emotions.
Meditation helps u to remember what God has told u. It stores up His Word in ur hrt so u don't forget.
U meditate deliberately and subconsciously.
Deliberately because u sit down and take ur time to ponder on and assimilate what u had read, prayerfully.
"Lord, what are you saying to me? How does this Word address my life, my situation?"
U are not in a hurry. U just keep thinking on that Word!
Subconciously because u keep thinking on the Word even when u are cooking, bathing, sleeping, eating, on d move, anywhere and everywhere! U don't even know it but u see urself doing it. Wow. It's exciting.
U see d Holy Spirit weaving God's Word into ur spirit and naturally God's Word in ur spirit will guide u in all u do.
To meditate? Think on God's Word deeply, open up ur heart and allow His Spirit speak to u. Without knowing it, the Word of God is supernaturally being stored up in ur spirit.
Hope I answered ur question dear?
I also want to add, pls get a Bible study note pad and pen things down as you study God's Word. It helps a lot. Write them down.
DeleteWhat is written is written. Over time, u wilk always go back and refresh ur mind with them.
Bible study is made more effective that way. Put it down!
