How To Make Your Way Prosperous

Let me first of all thank you for visiting my blog. I trust that the information I share here will be beneficial to you. My ultimate desire is that you will be inspired and motivated to live the life that you were created to live.

I did not choose the topic above to show you how you can become super rich, though the principle can help you to become one if that is your goal. The choice of the title was premised on the scripture below:

"
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success" (Joshua 1:8 NKJV).

This is one of my favourite Bible verses. In fact, as a young Christian I used it to encourage friends to study and memorise the Word of God. But there are more gems in this scripture than just an admonition to study and memorise the scriptures. The principles contained in this particular verse, I believe, is applicable to any dream or goal pursuit we have. Whatever you journey is, you can use the principles espoused in this scripture verse to arrive at your destination.

Every individual on earth is on a journey. You were sent here for a particular assignment. This assignment is unique to you. For you to accomplish or fulfil this assignment, you have to play your part. Need I say that God always does His part. He always fulfils His responsibility.

God says, in order to make your way ( that is, your course of life) prosperous
  • You must have the Book of the Law. Not under your pillow or on your book shelf. No! You must have it in your mouth. You must eat, drink and speak the Word of the Lord - the word of promise. The book of the Law must become your very language. What information do you have and what information do you communicate? Endeavour to know everything about your journey if you are to become successful.
  • You must meditate (ponder) on it day and night - not occasionally. It means that the Word of promise must occupy your imagination. It should be your predominant thought. You must study it and think about it.
  • You must observe to do according to all that is written in it. It is not enough to think and speak about the word of promise, you must also do it. Your actions must be aligned to your thinking and language. Obedience to the word of promise must become your primary focus. Someone has said, "Dreams will determine what you want in life...Actions will determine what you get in life." So act on the Word today!


These are the three amazing steps to making one's way (whatever it is) prosperous. If it worked for Joshua then it will surely work for you today. I will do a follow up writing on this post later. Blessings!
