DO YOU WANT TO SUCCEED/PROSPER?

(17-06-2007)

Isaiah 1:19-20

Do you see yourself successful? Poverty is a state of mind
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Numbers 13:27-33; Numbers 14:6-10,22-24,30-38
Of the twelve spies, ten had a grasshopper mentality and two had a winning attitude. The ten did not reach the promised land because they said they were not able. Two reached the promised land because they said they were able.

Tips to note:

5. Your success depends upon you and your God. Joshua 1:5 Nobody will manage to stop your success as long as your God is with you.

6. Embrace God's promises. Joshua 1:3,8 Study the Word to make it your own. Tread upon all the promises you want to possess. Meditate on the Word. Do the Word. 1Timothy 4:15 Psalms 1:1-3 John 15:7

7. Be strong and very courageous. Do not be afraid. Joshua 1:6,7,9 Discouraging things will come but take courage. Intimidations may come but do not be afraid because your God is with you.

8. Leave the past behind. Joshua 1:2 Moses was dead and his era had passed. Joshua had to realize that it is his turn to lead the Israelites. Some of us fail to succeed because of clinging to past glories or past failures.

Philippians 3:13

3. Every place you set your foot upon becomes yours. (v3)

(walking in love, praying, giving etc).

Discouraging thoughts may come and tell you that you have been tithing all the time but things do not seem to improve. Take courage and obey the word.

Philippians 4:15-19 Luke 6:38

b. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

c. Even though Christ was rich, he became poor so that I, through his poverty, may become rich.
