“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)
First of all, I want to congratulate you. The fact that you are reading this article proves that God is working in you. The articles of the life-building broadcast “Secret of Success” are born from God. These articles may look like a devotional, but that’s not all they are — this is the voice of God directed toward you by the Spirit of God. This voice is anointed to produce an atmosphere of faith in your life. They are responsible for your success and growth. Make efforts not to take them casually.
The Bible shows that the Word of God is the Word of Grace. God’s Word is the carrier of the God-kind of faith. The God-kind of faith pulls into reality those blessings which exist spiritually. Bible says; “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
God is preparing you through His Word. He is teaching you how to walk with the Holy Spirit. One of the things you will notice happening in you is this: you will find that God is working in the area of your commitments. Spiritual activities like praying, studying God’s Word, and participating in church activities suddenly become more important to you. You begin to participate and realize their importance.
Though your productivity increases and your prosperity is noticed by those around you, your focus becomes more on the Lord. You begin to practice giving and doing all those things you previously ignored. When you see such things happening in your life, recognize that it is God who is working in you. Encourage His ministry in your life. Encourage the Holy Spirit.
At this point, you may be faced with contrary thoughts. People around you may tell you that you’re wasting your time; but it doesn’t matter what people say, or what thoughts the devil may try to put in your mind. Learn to keep your focus. Know that God is working in you. Be excited about your life. Announce to those around you that God is working in you and that you are in for something really big.
The more you invite God’s intervention, the more He will intervene and take control of the affairs of your life. God is a beautifier. He beautifies everything where He is involved. Taste the sweetness of the Lord. He is good. He is great. He is wonderful.
Prayer:
Dear Father in heaven, I thank You for making me a citizen of heaven. My life is for the Kingdom and Your glory. I invite You to work in me. You are working in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
