Today's Bible Lesson
Principals
of Success In Life
********************
"The thief (devil) does not come except to steal, and to kill,and to destroy.
I (Jesus) have come that they may have life,and that they may have it more abundantly."John 10:10
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health,
just as your soul prospers" 3 John 2
These scriptures are just two of thousands of scriptures and principals
in the Bible that show us that God wants us to be
successful in this life on earth.
*********************
In the Lords prayer that Jesus taught us to pray it says
"Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven" Matt 6:10
Is there lack in Heaven?
Is there sickness in Heaven?
Is there pain in Heaven?
Is there poverty in Heaven?
Are there broken relationships in Heaven?
Is there a lack of Wisdom in Heaven?
I think not.
Does God send us poverty, sickness, pain, family problems, etc.
to teach us lessons?
I think not.
If this were true we should all pray for more problems, pain, suffering,
sickness & poverty so that we might learn more lessons from God!
*****************
Yes the Bible teaches us that we will have problems in this life,
perhaps many of them
but the Bible also says
"Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the
victory that has overcome the world-our faith".
1 John 5:4
******
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper". Isaiah 54:17
******
"Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world". 1 John 4.4
*****
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus". Phil 4:19
*****
"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that
seek the LORD shall not want any good thing". Psalm 34:10
*****
"And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing)
come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all
circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient, possessing
enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance
for every good work and charitable donation". 2 Cor 9:8
*******
The 6 scriptures above are only a sample of the thousands of
verses that speak of the goodness of God in our lives.
I really want to impress you that God
is NOT causing your problems
We do have an enemy, two of them as a matter of fact
One is the Devil (yes he is real) and the other is our flesh, (ourselves),
(this is usually our biggest problem)
People like to blame God for their problems. How sad.
He is our Savour, our Lord. Our Heavenly Father.
He is not our problem.
He is the answer to our problems.
*****************
Selfishness and Independence, are the two biggest
problems we have in life.
These two things, plus the devil's involvement is the cause
of most of the worlds problems
***********************
God has a plan for us as believers to escape
SELFISHNESS AND INDEPENDENCE
so that He might bless us in this life
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God". John 3:3
*****
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you".
Matthew 6:32-34
*****
I encourage you to read the entire chapter of Matthew 6
to see what these blessing are
******************
The starting point to success in life is the two scriptures above
It takes HUMILITY and DEPENDENCY to be born again
and start to "seek the Kingdom of God".
These are two great "keys" of success in life
***Humility and Dependency on God***
A famous singer Frank Sinatra had a really popular song called
"I did it my way"
What did doing it "his way" get him? Perhaps fame and money on earth.
but death and the grave awaited him
The Bible asks a very important question
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?". Mark 8:36
So do we do it our way
(our plans, goals, dreams, methods, etc)
or do we do it His (God's) way
DEPENDENCY ON GOD & HUMILITY BEFORE OTHERS!
God want's to give us a good, abundant life but, and it is a big but.
He wants to do it His way
*******************
So the start of this journey to success in all areas of our life
is to be born again then seek first the Kingdom of God
*******************
Here are a couple of Bible tips to get us started in the
right direction for "success in life"
"Study this Book of the Law (Bible) continually.
Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey
all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed".
Joshua 1:8
************
"Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers.
But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants;
day and night they think about his law.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing f
ruit each season without fail.
Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper. Psalms 1: 1-3)
