You're a candidate for a miracle

"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success".  

                                                                              Joshua 1:8  NKJV

Many people think prosperity and success is having power, prosperous contacts and a relentless desire to get ahead. But God taught Joshua a better strategy: (1) Be strong and courageous because the days to come will not be easy. Therefore, prepare for this. (2) Obey God's law and 

(3) Constantly read and study the book of instruction - the bible. So to be prosperous and successful, follow God's Word to Joshua. By the world's standards, you may not be successful but in God's eyes, you will be and, He is the one that matters.

Sticking to this strategy is a recipe for success. As Hazel Howard says, 'It doesn't say God will do it for us. It is down to us, we determine our future.' I heard a preacher once say, by doing this, 'You are a candidate for a miracle.' We need to think, meditate and speak the Word, nothing else. Keep the Word in your mouth. 

When you think about it, we can do most things when we have someone behind us. There are times when we have to go somewhere important. Just the thought of it makes us feel uneasy. However, if someone volunteers to go with us, we feel much better and accomplish it well. Whatever we do and wherever we have to go, we have someone who will be there with us, and His name is Jesus. God tells us in v9 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go'. Note, this is not advice, it is a command. We do well if we live by this.

There is no substitute for obedience, consistency, discipline and perseverance. It is the secret to to prosperity in its entirety. Miracles do happen and often when you least expect them. We have to position ourselves properly. Where God is, there is success therefore, stick close to Him. Allow Him to teach you things that you never knew. He has the answer for that thing you are struggling with so, why struggle, give it to Jesus. Learn more and more about Jesus on a daily basis. He has a lot to offer each one of us and, He is generous, believe me.

So, get into the Word. Forget the newspaper that will just depress you. Grab your bible and get edified with the strength of Jesus Christ.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
