How to be successful and prosperous in the things you do

Firstly, to begin the year and to be successful in the things you do, one must be aware of a few essential instructions to life; they are as follows:

 

Step One:

 

Matthew 6:33 – “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

 

Notice the following: 

“(1) Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and

 (2) His righteousness; and

(3) ALL these things shall be added unto you.”

 

Above are the three instructions to success and prosperity in the things in your life.

 

Ø  May it be my prayer and yours to seek the LORD today. To draw closer to Him each day, to love Him all the more each hour and to want to please Him in all that we do

Ø  Then and only then shall all these things be added unto you: knowledge, wisdom, good grades, success, understanding, peace, joy, love, deliverance from anger, jealousy, self-pity, ignorance etc.

Ø  God is faithful and just to His Word, we just have to do our part. All that God asks of us is to do is to surrender our lives wholly and completely to Him.

 

The formula is: Seek(Kingdom of God +His righteousness) = all these things shall be added unto you.

 

How do you know if you are on the right track:

Matthew 6:34 -
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

 

- May this verse be a guideline to us to see whether we are on track or not. To seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first, means that we will not worry about tomorrow for in Him do we place our trust. 

- If you are able to sleep peacefully at night without worrying about what you will do the next day, or what you will eat or where you will sleep. Then let this be a confirmation to you are on the right track.

 

Step Two:

 

This second step, for success applies to those of us who are “dependents”, those of us who are still dependent on a benefactor  to meet our needs.

 

Ephesians 6: 1-3

“CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise ;)

That it may be well with thee, that thou mayst live long on the earth.”

 

 

Notice the following:

 

1.       “CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

2.       Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise ;)

3.       That it may be well with thee, that thou mayst live long on the earth.”

 

As benefactors, in order to be successful according to God this step must also be fulfilled:

 

The formula is: obedience + honouring = thou mayst live long on the earth
