In life, there
is good success and bad success. Bad success
is the kind of success which robs you of time with your family, friends and
church, and destroys your health and relationships. With good success, on the
other hand, you see prosperity in every area of your life.
God wants you to enjoy
good success and the key to this lies in what God told Joshua when he took over
the reins following the death of his leader Moses—“This Book of the Law shall
not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that
you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will
make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Spending time in God’s Word daily will give you godly wisdom, which will make
your way prosperous and give you good success.
Look at how Joshua’s
life turned out in the end. When Joshua died, “they buried him within the
border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim,
on the north side of Mount Gaash” (Joshua 24:30). Joshua had a whole mountain
for his inheritance! This means that he was prosperous and successful!
It was also said that
Israel served the Lord, not idols or other gods, all the days of Joshua’s life
(see Joshua 24:31). This means that while Joshua was around, people were
impacted for God’s glory.
And at the end of his
life, a fulfilled Joshua had this to say, “But as for me and my house, we will
serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). Having your family loving God and serving Him
with you is the most important success and greatest prosperity that you can
ever have.
Beloved, when God’s Word takes priority in your daily life, not only will your finances be blessed, your ministry and family life will also be blessed! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
