Today I want to share with you from the devotional on our Spoken Word Church website!
CONCENTRATE ON THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS!
Jesus was a success maker. Jesus taught people to realize their dreams. Jesus taught us to do the same.
When Job prayed for his friends, his own captivity was turned. When the widow fed the prophet, God fed her.
God wants us to be involved in the needs of others. The God of Heaven has assured us a guaranteed harvest. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.
"Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free." (Ephesians 6:8)
"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it." (Proverbs 3:27)
Meditation on Ephesians 6:8 (above) brings us to that obvious conclusion: What WE make happen for others, God will make happen for US! Now this isn't speaking of the identical situation, but of the essence of it! When I concentrate on the success of others, encouraging, praying, supporting in any way that I can, then God WILL raise up those who will do the same for me, in the areas of my interests, concerns and endeavors! We cannot EVER out-give God! So, if you find yourself up against a wall in your dreams, visions and goals, take some time to find others who need some encouragement and dive in! It will open up so many new realms of possibility for you, as well as expanding your realm of influence! While you are contemplating this, here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":Shalom in Him!
