TOPIC: Sure Way To Success

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. Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‬

*Message*

Success is relative, but we have a measure of similarity as far as certain natural desired expectations are concerned, either individually or as a society. In other words, while the definition of success differs from person to person, and from society to society, we all aim towards certain specific results in life and destiny.

One thing we should always remember is that God, our Creator, is delightfully inclined toward helping us succeed in our endeavors. A good proof revolves around the fact that there are several parts of Scripture that gives light that guarantees success. One of them is Joshua‬ ‭1:8 -

*"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."*

You can also see Deuteronomy 28:13 where the LORD Himself promised to make His children the head and not the tail. It was established that for this to become a reality, you must *"heed the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, and be careful to observe them"*

*Success is pleasing God by doing His Will for your life. What the enemy does is to try as much as possible to influence your flesh to go contrary to the Will of God, and make you comfortable with results obtained outside of God's Will for you. The enemy wants you to live a substandard lifestyle because he has been subjected to an inferior lifestyle many years ago, and that's what he can relate to.*

If the devil fails in preventing you from going against God's Will, you are victorious indeed.

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD for grace to only seek to thrive within the confines of His perfect Will for you.
