“Then you shall make our way prosperous, and then we will have good success.” – Joshua 1:8

One thing that each of us desires is to have a successful life, and God has givenus His formula for success in the book of Joshua, and it relate to what I believe the Lord is calling us all to in this year, a greater commitment from us, to spend time in the word of God and to put His word to practice.

After the death of moses, the Lord told the Isralites to fast:

Joshua 1:8 – “The book of the Lord shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written for then you will make your way prosperous and then you shall have good success.”

Notice the Lord is not just talking about success, but good success, this verse tells us that to have good success we must meditate in the word continually and put that word into practice in our lives.

We make decisions every year, to study more diligently and to practice it in our lives, daily and to spend more time in prayer.

Yet if we are not careful, Satan (our enemy) will subtly begin to shed our time, and before we know it, we will find ourselves so busy, we don’t spend the time with the Lord and in His word.

Don’t let Satan rob you of the one thing that will make you a success in life.

We all have a great work to do.

Matthew 9:37-38 says: “The harvest is truely plentous, but the labourers are few, Pray there for the the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.”

Each of us can be a labourer in the Harvest field – what greater success could there be, but to bring others into the Kingdom.

I am encouraging you to make being a witness in your world a number one project.

Your neigbours, Co-workers, family, people you meet, pray for opportunities to share the Love of God with them.

Psalm 37:23 – “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way.”

Let the Lord guide your steps, be sensitive to His promptings, many times we miss a good opportunity because we are not sensitive to the voice of God, (which we can hear in our heart and through His word).

God’s word says, “He can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works in us,” (Ephesians 3:20) I know this year holds great abundance for you if we will dare to trust God, and believe His word and put that word to practice in our lives,

I know as we allow the Lord to lead and guide us this year (Psalm 23:1) as He brings this word to pass in our life, our prayer for you that the Lord who is your Shephard will lead you into green pastures and beside still waters.

God loves you, and so do we here at Rhema Family Church, a place were miricles happen

With much Love
