Understanding Your Spiritual Identity as a Blessed Manনমুনা

ATTRIBUTES OF A MAN DESTINED TO SUCCEED (2)

4. Work more: If there is no prosperity in the life of a believer, it is either he is doing something wrong, or he is not doing something right properly. Some people are doing something right but doing it improperly. Some people are not working enough. According to the Bible, you shall work six days of the week. Of those six days, are you working a full day or half-day? The fact that things are not yet working fine with the business you started does not mean you should sit down at home.

5. You must be willing and obedient

Avoid selective, incomplete, partial, or delayed obedience. Abraham obeyed God instantly and willingly (Genesis 22:3). Once you begin to negotiate divine instructions, you will choose what to obey. Abraham did not offer Isaac disgruntledly; he was satisfied with the decision of the Lord. And you can see the result of his obedience; even his sons were beneficiaries of it (Genesis 26:3-5; Genesis 28:4). A child of God can be obedient without being willing, and it does not take more than five seconds to become willing. You can be obeying God in a spirit that is not acceptable to Him.

6. Avoid the things that will lure you away from the path of greatness God has set for you.

Watch out for things that will pull on your emotions to move you out of your instructions. Avoid people that will make it difficult for you to obey God. Abraham did not have to discuss the instruction with anybody. He obeyed instantly. Do not get discouraged along the way and pull back. Never allow flesh, emotions, culture, and prejudices to distract you. Did God lead you to go there? Did God guide you to do that work? If God is the One that led you to it and you are doing it, it will prosper.

Prayer: Father, grant me the strength to go all the way to manifest all that you have prepared for me. Help me not to fall for the scheme of the enemy.
