The devotional on Jerry Savelle's website is very simple, yet powerful concerning success! I really don't know very many people who do not desire to succeed at whatever they are involved with. I do, however, know a few people who never seem to succeed at anything they attempt. Here is a very simple and powerful guide to true success!
Success Is a Decision
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success (Joshua 1:8 NKJV).
Success begins with a decision to succeed. In turn, that decision will produce an unwavering commitment to do what it takes to do two things.
The first is to discover the spiritual laws relevant to your challenge. Simply put, this means to get wisdom: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:7 NKJV). The second is to diligently apply these laws and wisdom through to complete victory.
God’s will for you is success, but success doesn’t just happen. That’s why He shows you in His Word how to make things happen. If you do not believe and act according to His Word, there is nothing He can do about it. However, when you do your part, He has to do His part. I like to say it this way: We get to do the easy part and God gets to do the impossible part.
For example, the Bible says, “Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant” (Matthew 20:26 NKJV). In other words, you can’t promote yourself; only God can make it happen. But you can make the decision to succeed by getting wisdom and then acting on the Word by choosing to become a servant. When you make the decision to apply the Word of God to your situation, God promises that you will make your way prosperous and have good success.
Confession: I made the decision to succeed today. I make an unwavering commitment to do what it takes to get wisdom concerning the spiritual laws relevant to my challenge, and then to apply them through to complete victory.
AMEN! Now continue to make the success decision every day! HIS ability is available to every born again believer, but we must appropriate this ability by obeying His Word and by being led by Holy Spirit. Meditate on Philippians 4:13 from the Amplified Bible as you step out in faith as a DOER of the Word! You CAN! HE said so! AMEN! Here is an older song from Hillsong called "Faith":
