(Your Prosperity And Success Are Dependent On You)
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
Today’s opening verse of scripture has a very clear message: Your prosperity and how well you succeed in life depend on you!
It says if you meditate on the Word day and night, you’ll make your own way prosperous and have good success. You may have found yourself in certain circumstances you had nothing to do with.
For example, you may have been born into a poor home; that wasn’t your fault. But it’s up to you to do something about it. You may have been born poor, but you weren’t born to be poor.
The Word of God shows you the principles of prosperity, but it’s up to you to apply them and change your estate.
As much as He wants you prosperous, as much as He wants you healthy, happy, and strong, you have a vital role in making His dream for you come to reality.
He said in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
2 Peter 1:3 says, “As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”
He’s already done everything and given you everything you require for an extraordinary life of success and extraordinary prosperity.
Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”
What then? Act on the Word! If there’s a situation in your life you want changed, the Word is your answer.
Trust the Word. Meditate on it day and night, as He has said. That isn’t something God or anyone else can do for you.
1 Timothy 4:15 tells you the inevitable result: your progress and prosperity will “appear to all”—“phaneros” (Greek); that means apparent, undeniable, and unending; it’ll spread abroad. Hallelujah!
