This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on 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
As we begin this new week, and prepare to enter 2021 we must consider these things.
The Kingdom of God operates by principles, and it’s our obedience to these principles that provoke our experience of the benefits of the Lord. From our opening scripture we see that principle that God revealed to Joshua when it comes to experiencing the prosperity that comes from above, we must understand that any prosperity which is not brought about by meditation on the scripture is not of God! So the issue is not just about prosperity, but much more about the kind of prosperity that glorifies God, and definitely God is only glorified when we prosper by righteous means!
Righteousness is the proof that our prosperity is born of the grace of God and not the efforts of Man, and we must emphasize that whatever material thing we possessed by unrighteous ways cannot advance the purpose of God in our lives, in other words when you pursue prosperity by unrighteous means you may become rich in silver and Gold but you will be wretched in the Spirit, because the prosperity that comes by worldly standards ensnares our souls and makes us slaves to the devil, but the prosperity that comes by Godly standards facilitates the fulfilment of the purpose of God on the earth realm.
Although God has promised us prosperity,the experience of that prosperity depends on our obedience to His instruction, and the instruction is to meditate on his word day and night!
The importance of meditation in the Christian life cannot be overstated. Understanding exactly what meditation is and its purpose in our Christian life is the key to true spiritual growth, and enjoying fellowship with God and the experience of the blessings of God every day.
The greatest advantage of meditation is that meditation, sanctifies our Mind and aligns our thoughts to the way of God.
Many of us have neglected our minds and are struggling to change our lives, such efforts will never yield any positive fruits because every change in life is a response to a change in mind; Therefore, if you want to renew your Life, you MUST first renew your mind! For how you live is an expression of how you think! And when it comes to renewing our minds, there is nothing more effective than meditation.
God wanted Joshua to know that if Joshua has the right mind, he will have the right life! And his mind can only be made right if he sees and hears the right things and what is more right than the Scriptures? For it is written “in the Gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed” so God commanded him to meditate upon the Word night and day so that his mind be sanctified by the Word and consequently he will bear fruits of righteousness which will empower him to prosper! Many people want to prosper in their lives, but few understand that the secret of prosperity lies in their spiritual growth. In other words, the prosperity of your hand depends on the prosperity of your heart. Every poor man has a poor mind! You should not just sit and wait for your life to be prosperous, you can make your way prosperous, you can have good success if the word of the Lord dwells richly in you.
