KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 4:15 KJV” Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”
In our last study we saw that to prosper from God’s point of view one must be totally given to God’s word.God’s prosperity comes from Him and it happens as one yields his whole being to Him.The book of the Psalms begins with how God blesses His children.
It says blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of God.And in His law does he meditates day and night.He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season.It leaves shall not wither, AND WHATSOEVER HE DOES SHALL PROSPER
The scripture says as he meditates in the scripture day and night, he becomes like a tree planted by the rivers of water.God’s word is like streams of water to our spirits and souls.Your blessings are according to the state of your spirit.Pro 18:14 KJV” The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?”
Please note that success in God’s view is about a lifestyle totally given to the ideals of God.This imparts to that man the wisdom of God.Jas 3:17 KJV “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
When a man has learnt and abode in the ways of God, he receives God’s presence and helps that makes him bring answers to what human ability can not answer.This was what caused Joseph’s excellence in Egypt, Daniel’s uniqueness in Babylon and the great victories of David.It is that supernatural aura around a man bringing timeless solutions to hard questions among men that brings your uniqueness among others.This will not be possible if the man is half yielded to God and compromises with the world in a number of issues.
The Lord Jesus was excellent and outstanding among men because He brought answers to various issues of men.In whatever field of endeavour that you are God would bring His ability to uphold you as you refuse to live like the world but to honour God and His word.It is very possible to prosper in God’s way.This is the reason Proverbs 23:4 cautions us not to labour to be rich, for when a man is consumed with a crave for money he would surrender to all forms of carnal pressures.
THOUGHT: IT IS ALWAYS THE SUPERNATURAL TOUCH OF GOD’S PRESENCE THAT CAUSES US TO EXCEL
