Four Basic Aspects of God’sCommitment to Your SuccessThe Bible presents FOURBASIC CONCEPTS that areimportant for you to grasp ifyou are to understand God’scommitment to your successGod Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

God Desires For You To LiveSuccessfully Regardless OfYour Outer CircumstancesJoshua 1:1–2 (NKJV)1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, itcame to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son ofNun, Moses’ assistant, saying:2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, goover this Jordan, you and all this people, to the landwhich I am giving to them—the children of Israel. The mourning period for Moses had passed, and Goddesired for Joshua, and the others to move beyondthat point because it was important to their future inthe midst of this difficulty.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

God Desires For You To LiveSuccessfully Regardless OfYour Outer Circumstances Perhaps no person in the Bible experienced moredifficult circumstances in his life—for his entire life—than Daniel. Daniel was taken captive by the Babylonians when hewas a young man. He was forced to live in an alienculture the rest of his life and to serve three heathenkings—Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and Darius.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

God Desires For You To LiveSuccessfully Regardless OfYour Outer Circumstances On several occasions, Daniel had to stand inopposition to the king’s magicians. On one occasion, his opposition resulted in his facinga den of lions.Daniel 6:28 (NKJV)So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in thereign of Cyrus the Persian. Daniel lived well and lived successfully in the midst ofhis circumstances. We are called to do the same.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Psalm 37:3–4 (NKJV)3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, andfeed on His faithfulness.4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall giveyou the desires of your heart.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Too often we look at our outward circumstances andwe conclude, “God must not want to prosper me.” We must never look to outward circumstances,including our past failures, and use them as a reasonto doubt God’s desire to prosper us. True prosperity begins in the heart and soul of aperson. True prosperity is always a possibility for us becausechange and spiritual growth are always possible forthe Christian.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Your Success Is DirectlyRelated To Your FaithJoshua 1:5–6 (NKJV)5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the daysof your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. Iwill not leave you nor forsake you.6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people youshall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore totheir fathers to give them.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Your Success Is DirectlyRelated To Your Faith For a person to be successful, a person must firstbelieve he or she can be successful. The real question for the Christian is, “Believe in what?Have faith in whom?” When we identify the object ofour faith, we truly know the foundation for our success. If you are putting your faith in God to help you defineand become a success, then your foundation is asstrong as He is!God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Do You BELIEVE Today ThatGod WILL Lead You To GreaterSuccess In Your Life?What Does The Word Say?Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)But without faith it is impossible to please Him,for he who comes to God must believe that Heis, and that He is a rewarder of those whodiligently seek Him.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

James 1:5–8 (AMP)5 If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of thegiving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally andungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and itwill be given him.6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering(no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers(hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at seathat is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.7 For truly, let not such a person imagine that he willreceive anything [he asks for] from the Lord,8 [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating,dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable anduncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

What the Word Says to MeGod Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

God’s Commitment To OurSuccess Is Related To OurCourage And To Our ObedienceIn Keeping His Commandments.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Joshua 1:7–9 (NKJV)7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you mayobserve to do according to all the law which Moses Myservant commanded you; do not turn from it to the righthand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever yougo.8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you mayobserve to do according to all that is written in it. Forthen you will make your way prosperous, and then youwill have good success.9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of goodcourage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORDyour God is with you wherever you go.”God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

The issue for Christians is not whether God is committedto their success, but, rather, whether we are committedto keeping God’s commandments, having courage, usingour faith, and choosing to believe for success regardlessof the outer circumstances of our lives.What new insights do you have intoJoshua 1:7–9?God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Can you recall experiences in your life when your failingto obey God’s commandments, failing to use your faith,or failing to have courage led to a lack of success?God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Deuteronomy 9:7 (NKJV)“Remember! Do not forget how you provoked the LORDyour God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day thatyou departed from the land of Egypt until you came tothis place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. When we are not obedient to the word of God, wehinder our ability to be successful.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

The Bible Presents Success AsA Process, Not A DestinationJoshua 1:9 (NKJV)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of goodcourage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for theLORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Living successfully does not mean that you are goingto live on the top of the mountain with a big grin onyour face and medals of victory and achievementattached to your lapel every moment of every day ofyour life. High points may come and go. They may be frequent at times and virtuallynonexistent at other times.God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Success is to be found in the way in which we live outour lives day in and day out. It is to be found as we pursue what God calls us to beand to do. Success is not the end of a process. It is how we undertake the process called life.How do you feel about these principlesrelated to your success?God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1

Matthew 7:24–27 (NKJV)24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, anddoes them, I will liken him to a wise man who built hishouse on the rock:25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and thewinds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, forit was founded on the rock.26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, anddoes not do them, will be like a foolish man who built hishouse on the sand:27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and thewinds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And greatwas its fall.”God Promises Success God’s Commitment To Your Success, Pt. 1
