JOSHUA 1:7-8.(Amplified)
ONLY YOU BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, THAT YOU MAY DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE LAW WHICH MOSES MY SERVANT COMMANDED YOU. TURN NOT FROM IT TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT, THAT YOU MAY PROSPER WHEREVER YOU GO.
‘THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, BUT YOU SHALL MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT, THAT YOU MAY OBSERVE AND DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN IT. FOR THEN YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS AND THEN YOU SHALL DEAL WISELY AND HAVE GOOD SUCCESS .
*This was God’s advice to Joshua because he had taken over the leadership of the children of Isreal after the DEATH of Moses . He wants him to succeed in life. He said to him, do not turn to your left hand, do not turn to your right hand. Fix your eyes on what you are doing, concentrate by meditation.
Isaiah 5:13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Meditation is very important if you have a desire for success and prosperity. Meditation will reveal to you the secret.
Good Success is your responsibility. Good prosperity in life is your responsibility. If you hate poverty, it means you have plans which will empower you to chase poverty away from your home.
Rom 5 :17. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one :much more they which have receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
With vision you will show to poverty that it has no right over your Life. Vision is the key to unlock your prosperity and success. Strategically plan and position yourself to succeed in life. Grace is given unto you for your total advancement in life.
*Dream yourself to the top.
Eph1:21. Far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
Eph 2:5-8. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved:). And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith :and that not of yourself :it is the gift of of God.
* In Christ Jesus you are saved by grace. Discover your purpose. The glory of living is in discovering what to do to make Life worth.
*Living intentionally with purpose will help you in life. GENE1:28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful. Deuter 8 :18. He has given to you power to make Wealth.
* Prov 13:18. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction :but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Honour yourself with good purpose, Stay focus.
*PROV11:24. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth: and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. Poverty will gradually disappear from you. Then you will go from glory to glory.
Psalm 1:2-3. 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. (only those seeking to live under God’s blessing will make meditation part of them.)
*Joshua you will succeed if you live intentionally with purpose, but meditate there in day and night, apply the principle to every area of your Life. Practice Living intentionally with purpose will make you become an orderly person in life, your Life will be guided properly, your focus will be on where you are going to.
*Good success, good prosperity comes from good meditation. Poverty is destructive, it is the killer of destiny. Those who know the law, especially God’s Word which is the law will be prosperous and successful in that they possess the wisdom to live according to God’s Word.
*The requirements for Success and prosperity is: be Strong,be couragous, be diligent. Make the word of God your authoritative guide in all your way.
*Determine to associate with the Holy Spirit as your guide. Joshua you are responsible for your success and prosperity in life. You are responsible for what ever happens to you. Your idea is your gold mine. Your idea is your raw material. God’s Word is the real true material to help you drive on. Purpose place you on the right path, it is the key for progression in life.
* Prov 10:15. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city :the destruction of the poor is their poverty. In Christ Jesus the same moment you received Christ Jesus into your heart, God supernaturally supplied you with all the necessary things meant for your Life. Take responsibility for your success and prosperity naturally.
*See yourself becoming the person God created you for. It is your responsibility to ask: What is the will of God for me as a person. You will enjoy from the flowing stream of grace because you have knowledge and you have understanding of His will.
*Prospering naturally should not be a problem, all you need to do is to create vision for your prosperity and of success with the written word of God in your heart through meditation by allowing the Holy Spirit to assist you.
* In you is greatness, this is God’s will for you. Your destination and destiny have been worked out by God. In order for it to come to pass naturally, you need vision. Kingdom concept for success and prosperity is different from the world’s concept.
*3John 2. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. This gives you an excellent picture of what is in God mind about you. Poverty is at the door of him who refuses to plan. Success, prosperity in life is an individual’s decision and determination to become somebody of worth in life. The key is with you. Who drives the car? Who determines the direction of the car?
*Prepare to succeed in life. It is what you are doing with your hands that will give to you satisfaction in life. Good success comes from following His instruction. PHIL 2:12. Work it out on your own. Good thinking will create light which will show you the way of success and prospering will be easy. You belong to the top.
* Your good decision will bring you to the place of establishment. No vision, no establishment, no advancement in life. 1 Timothy 4:15. MEDITATE UPON THESE THINGS :GIVE THYSELF WHOLLY TO THEM :THAT YOUR PROFITING MAY APPEAR TO ALL. Good Life comes from good meditation. Think through by giving yourself fully to it.
*Saying you are prosperous alone is not good enough to earn you prosperity and success add action to your word. Look at Life with wisdom to flow with Life, that you may take delivery of it’s goodness.
* LUKE 15:12-17. The Prodigal son: Nothing was in his mind for prosperity and success. Certainly poverty and lack will announce their arrival. Have plan for money. Poverty, lack will be frightened with the coming presence of revelation knowledge. You will make your way prosperous and you will experience good success naturally. Practice living intentionally with purpose will promote you.
Enjoy the ride with grace.
