There is a guarantee
from God concerning prosperity if we will do the following ... God says
everything we do will prosper if we do following ...
1Blessed
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. 2But
his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And 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. Psa. 1
Prosper means ... turn out well
I've seen people read the Bible and listen to various preachers and not prosper.
Paul said of one group, "You are dull of hearing"
... Paul said these people couldn't discern good from evil and Paul
went on to tell us the reason they could not tell good from evil.
11Of
whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are
dull of hearing. 12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye
have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
strong meat. 13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong meat belongeth to them
that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Heb. 5
Meditating in the word of God ...
You simply take the word given to you by the Spirit of God and pray
over it, asking God to show you how to apply that portion of HIS Word to
your life. Often it helps to take a dictionary and look up the meaning
of key words. Sometimes while doing that God will remind you of
various things in your specific life and you can make changes which are
appropriate based on that word you have heard from God. This puts you
in the path of God and when you go that way everything changes. It
might look like you will suffer loss by doing that but actually you end
up getting free from things which harm you and you will prosper (have
good success) if you just continue in that Word given by God. It may
take a month or a week or several months. But if you continue doing that Word you will proper. And when you prosper you will look back and know that you prospered because of God.
Meditating in the word of God enables you to do the word of God.
8This 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. 9Have
not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest. Josh. 1
We meditate
in the specific word given to us by the Spirit of God. Sometimes that
word will come to you as a thought, a scripture brought to your mind ... Stop and consider it immediately,
not letting it slip away. (Write it down when you can.)
Sometimes
you will be reading Bible and get hung up on a verse and even if you
try to read past that verse you find you can't think of what you are
reading because you are thinking of that verse. There is a message from God to you in that verse.
Go back and think on that verse. What is God saying to you? What do
you need to do to conform your life to that verse? If needed, look up
key words in dictionary and think on how these things fit your life and
especially think on what you need to do to adjust your life so it
conforms to the instruction given in that word.
In Deut. 30, we read that the Word is in us ...all we need to do is to do it. (If
you get letter in mail and fail to open the envelop it doesn't do you
any good ... so it is with the Word. You must apply it to your life.)
11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12It
is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to
heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13Neither
is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deut. 30
