We have all we need to perform and carry on with life in this world. A believer who search's for understanding is like a thirsty deer that needs the water brook. The Word of God is "Spirit and Life", this means that it is eternal and forever.
Our anchor scripture Joshua 1:8 reveals what made Israel and every believer around the world to receive this kind of blessing and breakthrough.
Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
The Lord has released good success and prosperity to the few obedient children of His. The command her is to follow the above instructions and we receive increase.
God did not say He will give us prosperity and good success, He said then "you" shall make your own way prosperous and add to it good success. The required capital here is not finance but obedience and adherence to His Will.
Let's visit this great verse with a careful study as the Holy Ghost guides us into depths of revelation and knowledge from above.
Study 1 - The required tool needed here for the application of His instruction is the Bible. This book of the law. We must possess the Word of God and accept it as His Word before we can value it. Acceptance shows our beliefs and it's a sign of followership.
Afterwards, we are to keep God's Words in our mouth. This is so easy as a conversation is dished out so we must have His Word ready at all times to be used, discussed, served and digested.
Study 2 - Thou "you" shall meditate on it "The Word" day (Morning and Noon) and Night (Evening and Night). Chewing on the Word gives us eternal life. The more of God's Words and instructions that we carry in us, brings out the more of Him to be seen in us. Whatever we permit into our heart either defiles us or uplifts us into righteousness and only the Word of God through meditation can qualify us for His Will. Everyday and every time we must be found with His words either in our free time or busy time. We must not be too cumbered with loads of cares and troubles as Martha did (Luke 10:38-42), but always find a way to the feet of Jesus Christ as Mary did to know more of the Father our eternal Glory.
Study 3 - To observe and to do; this carries quality and action as the verb does. We are to access our lives carefully to know which part requires the verse of God for application. Gaining God's blessing is based on faith, and faith is hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). When we hear, our action to what we hear gives us the desired result. Late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory raised his first dead being through trial and error, not minding the circumstances but believing the Word of God to do all that Christ Jesus did. And used the only manual worthy of miracles and performance and called the damsel's name and she came back to life. Doing the Word of God is our testimony into the supernatural.
Isaac from the Bible is also an example of one who always meditated on God's word. He was meditating on the field when his wife came. Through meditation of God's word we hear Him. He was able to hear God when he was instructed to remain in the land and sow....meditation into observing and acting through faith. And the bible said he was prospering until it became an adjective used in qualifying him, "the prosperous Isaac". In the speaking, you must have meditated, be convinced, made up your mind, then you follow through.
When we have done all His Will through His Words then we can become prosperous as every man on Earth would run to you for a performance as the multitude ran to Peter's shadow for a touch.
You can make your way prosperous with just these simple steps and study. Meditate on Jesus, Observe through Him, and be a doer of His Words.
Remain blessed!
