MEMORISE : 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 : 8.
READ : PSALM 1 : 1 - 6.
1 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.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : MATHEW 13 : 44 - 16 : 4 & JOB 13 : 1 - 16.
One of the inevitable benefits of righteousness is the ability to
generate good success. Success is self-inviting and attractive. It has a
compelling force around it that draws people to its possessor. Everyone
desires good success. We all are being drawn by the compelling force of
success consciously or unconsciously. There are many ways of describing
success. Success describes the process of setting out to achieve an
outcome and actualising this outcome as anticipated. Someone observed
that there are at least two indispensable requirements of good success.
These are creativity and innovation. Creativity describes thinking up
new ideas and concepts while innovation describes doing new things,
products and processes. The relationship between creativity and
innovation generates success.
The above mentioned qualities of
good success are inseparable and tally with scriptures. The Bible
reveals that the alignment of creativity and innovation to produce good
success is made possible by proper planning, creating a vision, creating
a viable mission, continued learning, being prayerful and diligent,
building a team, delegating and encouraging intuitive thinking, risk
taking, effective listening, prompt obedience to the word of God,
practicing coherent communication, accepting responsibility, promoting
and developing products and services, new designs and new outcomes
through patience. It can be deduced from the foregoing that proper
meditation on the word of God will no doubt result in good success.
Are you born-again? Are you a child of God? You are designated for
success. Outstanding success is of God. It is your covenant right, it is
your redemptive right and it is your kingdom right. Success is your
heritage in Christ while failure is an abuse of redemption. Be aware of
the fact that mediocrity is not righteousness. No ordinary son is a
pride of his father. A father only rejoices over his outstanding
children, not those that are failures. If God is your Father, then you
are designated for good success. Good success will however come when we
meditate on the word of God and promptly do whatever it says ( James 1 :
22 ).
PRAYER POINT :
Father, grant me the grace to always meditate on your Word and to practice whatever it says.
