Evident Success . Friday, March 21st . Pastor Anita Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (1 Timothy 4:15). God’s desire for you isn’t just that you make progress and become successful in life, He wants your progress to be obvious to those around you. He wants you to have evident success. The Bible says of Isaac, “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great. For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” (Genesis 26:13-14). Isaac prospered exceedingly in a land that was devastated by a severe famine. His prosperity was so profound it got the attention of the Philistines. That’s the kind of success He’s planned for you; one that’s undeniable. The reason Isaac recorded such phenomenal progress and prosperity is shown to us in Scripture: He often took time to meditate (Genesis 24:63). In our opening verse the Apostle Paul said to Timothy, “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.” This instruction, as well as the ensuing result, is also for you. Meditating on the scriptures will give you evident success in all endeavours: “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” (Joshua 1:8). God doesn’t bless you in a corner; rather, He wants the whole world to see what He’s done for you. Take out time to meditate on the Word today; that’s the recipe He’s given us for good success and unending prosperity. Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for giving me a life of continuous progress and prosperity through the Word. My path in life is as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Thank you for the impact of your Word in my spirit today, and your wisdom that works in me to know and do your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. ; Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
