Today I am loving this devotional from Jerry Savelle:
Success Is Conditional
Some promises from God are conditional. That means you have to do something or meet a certain condition to qualify for the expected result. When you meet the conditions, your success is guaranteed, you cannot fail.
Some blessings from God are unconditional. For example, His love is always offered to you unconditionally, regardless of what you do.
Success is conditional.
Success and prosperity have been promised to all of God’s people, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will automatically come to pass in your life. You must meet the conditions.
You might say to me, “When you start talking about conditions, are you talking about getting back under the Law?”
No, I’m not! Nowhere in the Word of God will you find any statement suggesting that you can do absolutely nothing and expect God to bless you. In fact, God tells us in Proverbs 6:10-11 and 24:33-34 that if we do nothing we will not succeed.
Though God will sometimes do acts of grace in a person’s life, the only way to guarantee success is to find out what God’s conditions for success are and act on them.
Here’s one scripture that gives us insight about how to obtain success:
Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success” AMP
Confession: I make a quality decision today to meditate on the Word day and night, and to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. As I do this, I will become prosperous and have good success in everything I set my hand to do.
I think that Jerry says it all very well right here! Make sure that YOU know the promises AND the conditions for them! Then you, too, can make wise and godly decisions that will result in the manifestation of John 10:10 and 3 John 2 to be operating in YOUR life!John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). AMP
3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. KJV
AMEN! I LOVE the Word of God! Don't you? Here is Hillsong Live with "God IS Able":
Shalom in Him!
