GOD TALKS ABOUT SUCCESS

IN THE BIBLE GOD TALKS ABOUT BEING SUCCESSFUL

In the Bible, the concept of success is often framed within the context of obedience to God's commands, faithfulness, wisdom, and seeking His guidance. While the term "success" may not be explicitly used in certain translations, principles related to achieving success are scattered throughout the scriptures. 

The only way you're going to reach places you've never gone is if you trust God's direction to do things you've never done. If you drop your beliefs, you drop your success. God's mighty people begin to fall even as achievers when they begin to drop the beliefs they pursue at first.

Here are a few passages that touch upon themes of success, prosperity, and blessings:

1. Joshua 1:8 (NIV): "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
2. Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV): "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers."
3. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV): "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
4. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
5. Matthew 6:33 (NIV): "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Philippians 4:13 “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Deuteronomy 8:18 – “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”

These verses emphasize the importance of aligning oneself with God's will, seeking wisdom, obeying His commands, and trusting in His plans, which are believed to lead to true success and prosperity, both spiritually and in practical matters.

Trust in God; trust also in me. Reason is God's crowning gift to man. Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs.
