Keys to success

April 12th, 2008

Joshua 1:6,8 provide the fundamentals to success.  We are to meditate on God’s word day and night and do what God’s word says.  The next part of the equation is surprising.  It says then I will make my way prosperous and have good success.  God in His infinite wisdom gave us a set of instructions that will cause us to be successful.  All we need to do is simply read and follow them. 

Psalms 1:2-3 reiterates that point.  My delighting in God’s word, meditating in it day and night, whatever we do prospers.  Think about that.  The relationships with family and friends, co-workers as well as ourself will prosper.  Our health will prosper, as well as our spirit.  And of course, applying God’s principles to our finances will cause our finances to prosper as well.

Joseph’s Success Tips

March 2nd, 2008

Study the life of Joseph in Genesis 39.  What a powerful success story.  Sold into slavery, uses the gifts God has given him, Joseph finds favor with God.  He does such a great job that in the three positions that the LORD blessed Joseph and all he did and his boss didn’t look into anything under his contol because his boss knew the LORD was with him and blessed his efforts.  His resume was interesting: from working for the the captain of the guard, to the captain of the prisoners and finally to Pharaoh. 

What his brothers did was intended to harm Joseph.  But ultimately God led Joseph so that he could help not only Egypt, but the very brothers that had wished him harm.

Use the skills God gives you, despite of what might people try to do to hurt you, and impact your world!
