Formula for a successful New Year!


Ours is a commitment to excellence. We all desire to succeed. Joshua tells us a firm commitment to the word will produce a life of prosperity and blessing. Joshua declares, ".....for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

May I suggest a five fold formula for success.
  1. Give God first part of every day (Mark 1:35) What better way to start the day then begin with God!
  2. Give God the first day of every week (Heb. 10:25) We are cautioned "to forsake not the assembling of ourselves together." If we are to maintain the grace of God we must make it a regular feature of our lives to be in the House of God. Don't miss church or you will miss a blessing.
  3. Give God the tithe (Malachi 3:10). A tithe of time, talent, energy and money is owed God. He owns it all but He requires the tithe.
  4. Give God the first consideration in every decision (Pro. 3:5-6). Never make a decision and exclude God. Ask Him, "What would you have me to do?"
  5. Give God first place in your heart (Mark 12:30). Love Him totally, unreservedly, and unquestionably! He demands First place.
SCRIPTURE: "....for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8)
