GOOD SUCCESS

Joshua 1:8

The will of God for every child is to have good success in all they do. But there are some important things that you must do before you can have good success. God does not want His children to fail. The Bible is full of God’s promises of blessings for us. All you have to do is to believe God and claim these promises. The topic is in two parts.

1. THE PROMISES OF GOD FOR GOOD SUCCESS: Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:3.

God has promised to give His children good success (Joshua 1:8). God will surely fulfill all His promises to His children. However, you have a part to play in order to achieve good success in life. First, you must be born again. That is, confess all the bad things you have done, forsake them and accept Jesus as your Saviour and friend. Secondly, you must be diligent in your studies. A lazy child who does not read his books or do his assignments, cannot have good success. Also, you must believe and claim the promise of God for your success. Good success will surely be yours in Jesus’ name!

2. THE SUCCESSFUL CHILD: Daniel 1:11-20.

The successful child is one who achieves success through diligence and hard work. He depends on God completely for his success. His success is based on studying hard, preparing adequately for his exams and claiming the promises of God. A child who cheats and copies the answers of others in the exam and eventually comes out in flying colours cannot be said to have “good success”. His success comes from cheating and not diligence.

If you lack wisdom for success, ask God to give you. Daniel and his three friends were “ten times better” than their contemporaries because “God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom” (Daniel 1:17).

Therefore, to have good success, you must be a hardworking child, pray and believe the promises of God. Good success will be yours and you will pass your examinations in flying colours in Jesus’ name!

Rise up and pray for good success.
