Guarantee From God For Success In All That We Do
If we do things God’s way, HE guarantees us success in everything we do in this present life.
In the flesh and in the ways of men of this present world, we go to school, often earning high degrees in Colleges and Universities. We take great efforts to prepare ourselves to succeed in this world. But there is no guarantee.
With God there is a guarantee for success in all that we do if we do it God’s way.
Shortly after I was born again in 1975, I saw these scriptures showing us God’s way to succeed on this earth. I had many years of degrees (even an earned doctorate) and I had failed a great many times along the way.
Then I came across a guarantee from God concerning success on this earth, if I would do the following on this earth.
Psalm 1
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.
When I saw this, I really believed it.
I still believe this. And for more than 30-years, this is the way I have tried to go …
Not turning to man for my counsel. Turning to God in prayer.
James 1:5 … If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Paying attention to the scriptures brought to my mind, knowing God leads us by HIS Spirit bringing to our minds scripture … or dreams … (Jn. 14:26)
Jesus says:
Jn. 14:26 … But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Jn 16:13… 13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
Paul explained to us in I Corinthians 2 that the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, searches the heart of God, the mind of God, to reveal to us, the people of God, the will of God in the matter at hand.
The Holy Spirit does not speak of HIS own ideas. The Holy Spirit speaks what HE hears from God.
Jesus said the same thing about HIMSELF in John 5 …
Jesus said: 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear (from God The Father), I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
As HE heard from God, Jesus spoke those words.
And we should do the same thing, hearing from God (not from men of this world) … and speaking what we hear from God. When we are born again, we have the Spirit of God so we are equipped by God to know the will of God by those thoughts brought to us by the Spirit of God.
This is the way to succeed on this earth in all that we do on this earth. We love the Word of God, the Holy Bible. We try to do what we see instructed in the Bible. We keep the Word of God before us day and night. We learn to pay attention to the Word brought to us by the Spirit of God.
We are commissioned by God in the same instruction as Joshua was commissioned by God for the work God chose for Joshua.
Our assignment on this earth differs from Joshua. But the plan for accomplishing that assignment is the same as Joshua’s.
Joshua 1 .. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 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.
If you are running to ungodly, worldly men to get success … If you live in fear of men on this earth … If you are constantly overcome by fear-filled thoughts… you are not going in the way of God.
If you belong to God, are a child of God, this should not be the case.
Can you turn this around?
As long as you are still alive on this present earth you can choose to go in the way of God when you have God’s Spirit inside you.
II Cor. 13 … Paul says … 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Start by praying … asking God to help you to have the WORD you need and the strength you need to do that WORD.
Keep that WORD, concerning the matter at hand, before you day and night. Meditate on that word. Consider how that Word applies in your life and what you must do in order to perform that Word. Then as you get stronger by looking at that Word day and night, do that Word.
… not just reading the Word … not just attending church and hearing other people … but really doing the Word of God.
Let your faith be in The Word of God brought by the Spirit of God rather than being in your church, your pastor, or other people.
God promises us we will prosper in all that we do and have good success if we will keep HIS Word before us day and night, thinking upon that instruction and doing HIS Word, not just hearing HIS Word.
Only through faith in God through God’s Word can we do HIS instruction by the Spirit of God that is in us.
Faith hears from God on the matter at hand.
Checks the spirit to be sure it is the Spirit of God speaking to him.
And when persuaded it is God speaking, obeys that spoken to him by the Spirit.
