“For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes(answer) in Him (Christ). For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him( in His person and by His agency) to the glory of God.” IICor. 1:20 (Amplified Bible)
Have you ever thought about why there is so much failure in the world? Well maybe you never asked a global question about failure. What about why there is so much failure in your life? So many of God’s children are living in failure. The plan that God has for them has never been tapped. Year after year many allow a dream, plan or goal to remain dormant and sit and wait for a miracle that never happens.
A lack of success and ultimate failure is not apart of God’s plan for His children. He spoke to us in Jeremiah29 :11, telling us that He has plans for our lives that are suppose to prosper us and bring hope for the future. What happen to the plan? Why can’t we fulfill the plan and purpose that God has for our lives? Well, I am confident that God wants you to receive this revelation or He would not have shared this knowledge with me.
As a believer you must have an ear to hear and a heart to receive. If you are not experiencing success in life, the problem is not with God, it is with you. Your thoughts, words and actions have a direct bearing on how much success or failure you will experience in your life. The Bible lets you know that as you think so will you become. Your thoughts will turn to words and your words to action or a lack of action.
God is not responsible for your success in life, you are. He has already made available to you all that you need for life and godliness. Unless you understand how to tap into the things of God, it is possible to live and never reach your potential.
When success and victory is lacking this is the time to seek directions from God’s Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows all things. He is just waiting for you to seek direction from Him so that your walk will be directed toward an ultimate goal. The Bible lets you know that He does not want you to be lacking in knowledge and understanding. So, He lets you know that He will reveal to you things that are going to come into your life. Stop trying to struggle on your own. Help is waiting for you but you must ask for it. Wisdom, knowledeg and understanding is just a prayer away. All you need to do is spend time in the presence of God and He will order your steps.
God promised us an abundant life. He told Joshua that he could have good success if He would remain strong and courageous without any fear or doubt in His heart. God is no respecter of persons. He wants the same thing for you that He desired for Joshua. Stop fretting and worrying about what has happened in the past. Today can be the beginning of a new way of thinking and believing when you put all of your trust in the Lord and believe His word to be Truth.
Watch your words. Be careful to speak only what you want to happen in your life. Even though you do not see a way out of the challenges that you may be facing, you must know that God has provided you with a way of escape to bring you out of the circumstances that you are facing.
It is time to trust God and learn to live by His word. He promised that you can have what you say. Stop saying what you have or do not have and begin to speak only what you want to happen in your life. Every word that you speak will produce a harvest. If you want a positive harvest you must speak positive words. Throughout your life you have been deciding the outcome of your life. You may not have realized how powerful your words are. You may not fully understand that you frame your environment by the thoughts that you think and the words that you
speak.
You have the power within to change any circumstance in your life. Use your words coupled with positive action and begin to move toward a more productive lifestyle. The manifestations that you desire to experience is what you will get when you refuse to accept failure as a way of life. Turn your failures and shortcomings into one success after another with a positive outlook, powerful words motivated by the word of God, consistent action and a determination that you will never give up because success is yours.
