GOOD SUCCESS

Joshua 1:8
"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;meditate on it day and night,so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.Then you will be prosperous and successful."(NIV)

Hi Everyone around the world.Today I want us to look at Success.Hallelujah!!.Everybody wants to be successful at least in one thing or another,nobody likes failing.We have been taught and told so many times in school that to pass our tests or exams we need to study and read our books.Students who adhere to this advice usually excel in school while those who don't usually end up failing.On your first day at work your boss probably gave you a few tips on how to succeed at your workplace.

However,success in school is not a guarantee that you're gonna suceed in life.Some graduated with A's from school but they have D's in life.It's because life is not as simple as you may think it is.Some prominent people who have accomplished a lot in life sometimes commit suicide because they feel they have failed; yet you check their background and records and they have excelled in various ways.

In the scripture above,GOD tells Joshua the recipe for success and not just "success" but "Good Success" as the King James bible calls it,is to confess,meditate and do HIS word.We can apply it to our lives and experience the success Joshua experienced.No challenge will be to be BIG for you,your faith will be resilient to all the negative forces that will try to bring you down.There are three steps outlined in this scripture and the first one is:

*Confession
It says "Dont let it depart from your mouth",that's important because a lot of time we say negative stuff about our lives and set the whole course of our lives on fire.So "Speak the word".....There is power when you speak GOD'S word;it creates the atmosphere of glory and heavenly ambience in your life.WHAT YOU SAY IS WHAT YOU GET!!!!

*Meditation
The second step is meditation;in this phase you're brooding over what you've confessed in your life.You begin to form positive images in your mind (heart) to conform with what you've said concerning your life.Almost 80% of our actions everyday are pre-meditated so you can also premeditate a more positive and successful outlook on your life.

*Doing
Its not enough to speak and meditate;you certainly have to do something by taking steps and the right actions to bring to pass what you've been confessing and meditating on.The interesting thing is this; if you confessed and meditated properly then you'll surely end up doing it......its almost automatic and guaranteed.The desire to do will be so increased by the first two steps that you'll have no other choice but to do what the word of GOD says you should do.

I  encourage you today to put into practise what you've just read and that you'll make GOD'S WORD an important part of your life.

GOD BLESS YOU,YOU'RE A SUCCESS.
