SUCCESSFUL
THROUGH MEDITATION
MEMORISE
This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou
shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8
READ
Psalm 1:1-6
1 Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his
delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.
3 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.
4 The ungodly
are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore
the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of
the righteous.
6 For the
LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
MESSAGE
One of the inevitable benefits of righteousness is
the ability to generate good success. Success is self-inviting and attractive.
It has a compelling force around it that draws people to its possessor.
Everyone desires good success. We all are being drawn by the compelling force
of success consciously or unconsciously. There are many ways of describing
success. Success describes the process of setting out to achieve an outcome and
actualising this outcome as anticipated. Someone observed that there are at
least two indispensable requirements of good success. These are creativity and
innovation. Creativity describes thinking up new ideas and concepts while
innovation describes doing new things, products and processes. The relationship
between creativity and innovation generates success.
The above mentioned qualities of good success are
inseparable and tally with scriptures. The Bible reveals that the alignment of
creativity and innovation to produce good success is made possible by proper
planning, creating a vision, creating a viable mission, continued learning,
being prayerful and diligent, building a team, delegating and encouraging
intuitive thinking, risk taking, effective listening, prompt obedience to the
word of God, practicing coherent communication, accepting responsibility, promoting
and developing products and services, new designs and new outcomes through
patience. It can be deduced from the foregoing that proper meditation on the
word of God will no doubt result in good success.
Are you born-again? Are you a child of God? You are
designated for success. Outstanding success is of God. It is your covenant
right, it is your redemptive right and it is your kingdom right. Success is
your heritage in Christ while failure is an abuse of redemption. Be aware of
the fact that mediocrity is not righteousness. No ordinary son is a pride of
his father. A father only rejoices over his outstanding children, not those
that are failures. If God is your Father, then you are designated for good
success. Good success will however come when we meditate on the word of God and
promptly do whatever it says (James 1:22).
