Our partner, Jerry Savelle, has an excellent message on success in his devotional for today!
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! Never doubt that your Heavenly Father desires for you to be successful at whatever you lay your hands to! Be BIG in your dreams and goals and be DILIGENT in your Godly pursuit of success! He will walk with you every step of the way! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Another In The Fire":
