READ: Psa. 139: 13 - 18
MORE LESSON: Josh 1: 8
There are steps to take in order to achieve good success as children of God. As God instructed Joshua in our text, there are principles that a man must follow in order to have good success.
1. You must see God as the author of good success. Promotion comes from nowhere but God (Psalm 75: 6 - 7). It is important for you to know that God is the source of good success. He is the only one that grants success to a man. If man is your source, he will destroy you. If Satan gives to you, you will pay dearly for it. God is the author of every good thing (Jam 1: 17). When you serve God diligently, He will give you all (Hebrews 11:6).
2. Locate your purpose and vision for life. Before you were born, God fore-knew you and predestined you to be something (Jeremiah 1:5,). It is your duty to discover what it is that God has put in your hand to excel with. All you need to achieve success He encoded into you when He made you. The reason why many are poor, rejected, dejected, defected even with good careers is because many people are in other men's jobs. If God did not give you the job you are doing, you will be labouring for others. You cannot succeed in a thing you are not destined to be. If you want to succeed in life, ask God to reveal to you what He sent you into the world to do.
3. You must get relevant information and education. You cannot act on what you have not discovered neither can you discover what you have not searched. God was telling Joshua to train himself so that he can become successful. You also need to develop yourself for what you are destined to be. As you fast and pray, it is also important that you work and improve yourself. Add more to what you know and equip yourself more each day. You need to know more and the way to know is by learning (Joshua 1:8). Believers must learn to learn, the moment you stop learning, you get stuck. When you refuse to add more to what you know in a particular area, you will expire. You must always update your knowledge and relevance.
For instance, we are in the computer age and the secret of what you need to get so many things done is in the computer. Even as a pastor you need to be computer literate so sit down with it and learn. Spend your money on things that can enrich your knowledge. The people perish for lack of knowledge. Do positive thinking, find out information.
As you rightly position yourself, you will find good success in Jesus’ name.
