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
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. There 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)

Father,
grant me the grace to always meditate on your word and to practice whatever it
says.
