Meditation: Your Recipe For Success

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).

This scripture is your recipe for success. "The Amplified version says: This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success." Notice it didn't say "God shall make your way prosperous," but that "YOU shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely in the affairs of life and have good success." But for this to happen, you must meditate on the Word.
 
This is what many haven't learnt; the importance and power of meditation. The subject of your meditation should be consistent with the provisions of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Meditating on anything else that's not consistent with the Gospel will not produce lasting results.

Meditating on God's Word often, will make you deal wisely in the affairs of life. You'll become circumspect and penetratingly perceptive; you'll have extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. The wisdom of God will function in you so much that when you make decisions or take actions on anything, it will be just right. Learn to consciously meditate on the Scriptures. In Psalm 119:97, David said, "Oh how I love the law! It is my meditation all the day." No wonder he was so successful and dealt wisely as king over Israel.

As you think through, talk and shout God's Word in meditation, you're programming yourself for the upward and forward life, and your success will be apparent to all.


CONFESSION
God's Word is in my mouth and in my heart today, working in me and producing results in every area of my life. The Word of God has made me wise unto salvation, and the forces of success, prosperity and divine health are let loose in my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

  1. In order to focus your mind to the Word of God, you need a SIFT that will SHIFT you from the world view into the Word of God. And this breeds the MEDITATION. We cannot meditate when our minds are occupied with the worldly view of things. Thanks my sister.
