Godly Success

 Psalm 128

The text passage above shows us the kind of blessing that those with the fear of the Lord are entitled to.

That God wants you fulfilled, happy, and successful is clear throughout scripture.

You have to believe that God wants you successful if you are going to manifest the God glorifying type of success in your life.

There is godly success.

Psalm 1

There is also success that does not glorify God.

Many people don't manifest godly success in their lives for many reasons, but impatience is a major reason,

It takes patience to walk with God and wait for His time.

Hebrews 6:12

God is a God of timing and order.

Greed is another reason many don't manifest godly success in their life. When opportunities to be seen and make money come their way even if it's in an evil  and dubious way, they seize it.

Satan tempted  Jesus with the glories of this world, he showed Jesus the best of everything this world had to offer but Jesus didn't fall for that temptation.

Satan was ready to offer Jesus the glory of this world in exchange for Jesus's worship!

Jesus as a man of flesh could have sold out to the devil in exchange for the glories of this world.

Jesus would have had everything in exchange for His soul.

What does it profit us to have everything the heart can desire in this life and end up going to hell or have Satan as our boss?

Mark 8:36

Whoever we worship is our lord, our boss, and our god, whether that is Satan or Jehovah.

There are many who are regarded as successful by this world's standards who have sold out to Satan for a earthly kind of success.

There is a kind of success that does not require selling out to the enemy to attain it

This success answers to the blessing of God. This type of success comes with peace, not with sorrow.

Proverbs 10:22

It is the kind of success that gives fulfillment in all aspects of an individual's life.

This kind of success stays with you and in your family/lineage.

1 Kings 9:5

This type of success answers to the promises of God and the covenant of God with an individual.

Diligence and patience is the price tag of this type of success.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
