The Way to Good Success
“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.” (Joshua 1:8 WEB)
Early on in my journey as a believer, the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation from the verse above.
As I was reading it, He showed me that good success is a type of success that bring good to all areas of your life without any negative side effects.
For example, if you are single-minded in pursuing wealth, you will end up fatigued, unhealthy, age quickly, and miss out on important moments with family. This type of financial success is not considered “good success” because you gain in one area but lose greatly in other areas.
“For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come. This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.” (1 Timothy 4:8-9 WEB)
Receiving God’s word (specifically what is applicable for us under the New Covenant of Grace”) everyday has value in all things. It benefits you in the life now, and in the eternal age that is to come.
If you want good success, then you must meditate on God’s word and apply it in your life. This is the best use of your time because with one action, you cause all areas of your life to prosper and become fruitful.
The process is not complete without speaking forth the Word. The best would be if you can pray in tongues. Faith is believing and speaking so meditate and pray.
Instead of using a watering can to water one plant at a time, it is like you are pouring into an irrigation system that diverts the water to reach the whole garden!
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men: a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.” (Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 WEB)
I pray that you be wise so that you have the power to enjoy every good thing in your life. By ensuring that the garden of your life is well-watered with God’s word, you will possess the grace to eat the fruits from the harvest!
How do you read the four gospels in the light of the New Covenant of Grace? Which parts apply to you directly now, and which are just for your learning? In “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”, I explain every parable, miracle, speech, and action of Jesus Christ based on the revelations received over the years. It will be an insightful read and I hope you glean many gems from it:
