Bible about Success
Genesis 1:28-29
28. God blessed them and said to them "Be fruitful and increase in number,
fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the sea and the sky and everything
creature that moves on the ground
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of whole
earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it, they will be yours for
food".
In Genesis 1:28-29 we see God gave us blessings in the form of food, land,
animals, and things we can count. God created Adam and Eve (humans) in his own
image. We can see that god blessed humankind from the beginning. Adam and Eve
had everything for them but we will come to this point again. Let’s see
Genesis 39:2-6
Genesis 39:2-6
When Judah and his brother sold Joseph to Mid‘ianite traders Joseph was taken
down to Egypt. Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh Captain of Pharaoh Guard bought
him and later what did he notice that God was with Joseph, after that Joseph
became his attendant. Potiphar gave charge of his household and field because
Joseph was blessed with success. And later we see that he helped his family
during the time of crisis.
How to get the blessing of success?
(i) Humble yourself
(ii) Delight in Lord
(iii) Commitment & Trustworthy to him
Let us see
James 4:10
10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you
As it’s written in James 4:10, we have to humble ourselves in front of him
which means we should not be proud and arrogant he sees everything, and he
notices everything you do just like Joseph.
Psalms 37:4
4 Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desire of your
heart.
Again be humble, enjoy in him, pray to him, praise him, and give thanks to
him for every little thing you own and you have. That how one can be delight
in the lore and God will bless you with success.
Proverbs 16:3
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do and he will establish your plan.
In this verse, we can clearly understand that we must give pledge our
loyalty to Jesus. Now you may be thinking what? Commitment is to God? So let
me give a little example; suppose you are a student then you must focus on
your studies and bible studies, pray, management of time, to your parents,
stay away from bad habits etc.
When you
follow the word of God it’s your commitment to God and he will secure your
future and he will reward you.
Luke 16:10-11
10 “whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much
and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with
much
11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly, who will
trust you with true riches?
It clearly states that being worthy man/woman. As we saw from Adam &
Eve they were trusted and they betrayed God by eating the forbidden fruit
and were banished from Eden, we can find many stories similar to this. And
that’s why we must be Humble, Delight in the Lord, give our commitment to
the Lord and be trustworthy to him.
I King 2:3
3. And keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and
keeping his status, his commandment as it is written in the law of Mosses.
That you may proper in all that you do and whatever we do
So when walk with God, we give him our trust and commitment and we enjoy
his presence we receive his blessing and success in whatever we pursue or
things we do. Let's end it with Jeremiah 17:7
Jeremiah 17:7 “But blessed is the man who trust in the Lord”
Amen
