Biblical principles of success 7

 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9

It takes inner strength and courage to do the right thing. It takes inner strength and courage to conquer emotions and go on to succeed. It takes inner strength and courage to conquer past failures and all forms of opposition. God repeatedly told Joshua to be strong and courageous. It takes a lion's heart to take a lion's share. The righteous are bold as a lion. Your strength and courage as a Christian must come from your consciousness of God’s presence with you and your obedience to His word.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

Be strong and courageous to do the will of God and go forward. This is the foundation of good success; not all success is good. Any success that is not of God or that takes you away from God is not good. And also, it will take courage and inner strength to do what multitudes are unwilling to do because it is not convenient for them. You must act on what God said to you at all costs.

May you be strong and of good courage in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, baptize me with the spirit of boldness to succeed in Jesus' name.  

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 6

 “And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.” Genesis 41:38-40

Creativity and innovation are your winning edge in any endeavor. There are two kinds of creativity: mind-creativity and spirit-creativity. Mind creativity is a product of commitment, concentration, and imagination. Your mind is a gold mine that can be mined through thinking. If you feed your mind well, it will yield for you. Spirit-creativity is a product of revelation. You get spirit-creativity by spending time with God.

“See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.” Exodus 31:2-5

“Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.” Matthew 13:52

There is a better and more profitable way to do what you are doing. This way is by innovation and creativity. Put your mind to work, and you will be surprised at what it will produce. Spend time with God and ask Him to reveal something new to you. One revelation from God will change your business forever.

May God anoint you for creativity in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, show me a better way to run my business in Jesus' name. 

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 5

 “Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” Proverb 24:3-4

You cannot build anything without wisdom, and neither can you establish a venture without understanding, just as you need knowledge to bring a venture into prosperity. There is what I call the wisdom circle: knowledge-understanding-wisdom-knowledge. Adequate knowledge helps you think correctly. Understanding translates knowledge into the wisdom that brings results. Above this, for a Christian, is revelation knowledge that, if acted upon, gives supernatural wisdom.

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1:17-18

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5

Do your homework like others. Know all you need to know about what you want to do. But beyond that, ask God to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation. This is what positions you for supernatural success. This is because you know not only what the mind can reveal, but also what the Spirit reveals.

May your eyes of understanding be enlightened in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in Jesus' name. 

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 4

 “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Matthew 6:22

Focus on your goal if you desire to make it a success. Distraction is the undoing of many. Concentrate on one thing at a time, but ensure it is the most important thing. If you do, you will be surprised by the kind of results you will get. This is because concentration brings illumination. Jesus said if your eye is single, your life will be full of light.

“And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.” 1 Kings 20:39-40

“And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.” Exodus 12:11

Don’t be busy here and there, time management is life management. Time management is the difference between success and failure. Everyone has 24 hours in a day, but not everyone manages them well. Develop a sense of urgency about what you consider the most critical goal in your life. The king's business required haste (1 Samuel 21:8). Do not be sluggish in the destiny business. It is in your hands to make things happen with the help of God.

You shall not be distracted in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, help me to develop a sense of urgency and to focus on what you have called me to do in Jesus' name. 

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 3

 “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.” Genesis 41:39-40

You will become a person sought after if you are committed to excellence in your field. There is room at the top for everyone who excels in service or product delivery. The commitment to becoming excellent in your chosen field is an indispensable prerequisite for success. A commitment to excellence is the prerequisite for competence. Be competent in what you do. Be committed to consistent daily learning.

 “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Proverbs 22:29

“A man's gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men. He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; But his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.” Proverbs 18:16-17

Don’t leave your vision unattended. Become the best man to run with your vision by building your capacity. As a Christian, be diligent in seeking God. If God teaches you or reveals something to you, your competence will be supernatural. Don’t neglect to learn from men, if you do, you may not be able to learn from God.

You will soar in life and destiny in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, give me an excellent spirit in Jesus' name.  

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 2

 “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” 1 Corinthians 14:8

You must have a clear vision for your life and destiny to be successful. A clear vision gives clarity of direction. You must be decisive about what you want to do with your life. If you really want to predict your future, you have to create it. You create your future by having a clear vision. If you don’t have a vision, you go nowhere. I am glad to inform you that God can give you a vision. There is no vision like the heavenly vision. Paul was running with his own vision until he received a heavenly vision.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:1-2

If you read through the Scriptures, you will discover that everyone who walked with God received a vision from Him. They wholeheartedly ran with the vision, and God helped them. I believe if you wait on God and ask Him for a vision, He will visit you. You can start by first walking in obedience to scriptural instructions.

May God give you a vision in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, show me my future in Jesus' name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Biblical principles of success 1

 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

We shall be looking at the biblical principles of success starting today. As an introduction, God wants us to be successful, and He did not hide from us what we should do to become successful. He has clear instructions in His word for us. He actually said if we delight in His word and meditate daily on the word, we will walk in good success.

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 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.” Psalm 1:2-3

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1:17-18

Everyone who is successful in God’s way must have heard God first and obeyed him. You must ask God to grant you access into the mystery of His word. You must ask Him to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation and ask that your eyes of understanding be enlightened. Ask God to open your ears to hear Him. He has promised to lead us in the way we should go and teach us to profit.

You will hear God in Jesus' name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, fill me with your Spirit and let me hear your voice in Jesus' name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
