THE SUCCESS SECRET
(The Infallible Recipe for the God-kind of Success)
TO THE BIBLE - Joshua 1:8
“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.”
LET’S TALK
Horticulturists understand that you can’t judge a tree’s health by looking at one branch. A tree might have one branch loaded with fruit while the rest is diseased or dying. The tree isn’t truly healthy until every part thrives. Similarly, a person might excel at one thing—career, academics, athletics—while their relationships crumble or their character decays. That’s not success; that’s one thriving branch on a struggling tree.
Success from God’s perspective has nothing to do with a man’s position in life or how much he possesses. Jesus said, “...one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Luke 12:15). The Message version puts it this way: “...Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot.” How true! Real success is found in Christ and in His Word. That’s why the Lord gave Joshua the recipe for success in our opening scripture: “meditating on the Word day and night!” That’s the infallible recipe for the God-kind of success.
Real success isn’t partial. It’s total. It shows in everything: school, work, friendships, family, and your walk with God. God doesn’t want you to be good only in some areas and struggle in others. He wants you to be excellent in all you do. That’s the life He’s set before you. If you’re born again, you’re already a success! The seed of success is in your spirit.
The secret is in the Word; it’s by meditating on the Word day and night, speaking the Word to yourself until it takes over your thought processes! If you’d do this, everything you do will prosper. You’ll be an excellent child, an excellent student, an excellent team member, and of course an excellent Christian! You’ll be an all-round success. Glory to God!
GO DEEPER
1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. [2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
SPEAK
I’m a success. I’m prospering in all my ways! I have good success, and I deal wisely in the affairs of life because I meditate on the Word day and night. Whatever I lay my hands upon turns into undeniable success. As I keep the Word of God before me, observing to do what it says, my continual success is guaranteed and apparent to all. Amen.
