The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18)

You were not created to stagnate; you were created to grow—spiritually, mentally, financially, and in every area of life. Growth is the evidence of the life of God within you. When you resist growth, you resist God’s design. Stagnation occurs not because opportunities are absent, but because capacity is undeveloped. God cannot pour new levels of grace into an unprepared vessel.

Growth requires responsibility. Thus, your confession must match your actions. When you say “I am rising,” but your habits contradict it, progress is delayed. When God brings finances into your life, He also brings a purpose for those finances. If you do not align your spendings with His wisdom, your increase becomes difficult. Growth is not about acquiring more—it is about stewarding well.

Your spiritual life determines your natural progress. Praying in tongues increases capacity. Meditation of His Word strengthens focus. Listening to the Spirit provides strategy. Stagnation breaks the moment you prioritize these spiritual practices consistently. Like a plant that needs daily watering, faith requires continual nourishment.

With God as your HOW, no level is unreachable. When you grow inside, doors open outside. Promotion becomes natural because your capacity increases. Rise, expand, and shine—God has ordained continuous growth for you.

Confession:
Dear Father, thank You for calling me to grow continually. I refuse stagnation and embrace Your wisdom, discipline, and direction. I increase in capacity, strength, and excellence, and I rise higher every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. (Matthew 17:21)

Sometimes just praying about a matter is not enough. We need to add fasting with our prayer. Fasting demonstrates seriousness on our part. One thing that we must understand is that fasting is added to prayer, means prayer is the primary thing. Prayer always comes before fasting in the Scriptures.

Many people fast without praying, which is clearly a waste of time and effort. The emphasis should be on praying. It’s a call to prayer, and because you’re praying, you’re consciously staying away from eating. The fast is on, because you’re praying, not because you’re not eating.

When you pray and fast, don’t involve yourself in irrelevant daily chores or activities. Many people do that and neglect prayer, so they don’t feel the hunger until it’s time to break the fast, no; it’s not the right way. When you fast spend time mostly praying and then spend time studying the scriptures and other Christian material. As far as possible keep your devices aside. Possibly, put off your phone or turn off the network; you don’t need any distraction. Give yourself wholly to prayer and fasting whenever you do it. You will see how massively it impacts your life and all that surrounds you.

Prayer:
Thank you Father, for the privilege to pray and fast. As I fast I receive divine guidance and wisdom and strength. I rightly attune my Spirit to hear your voice, through prayer and fasting, making impact in my world by establishing your will. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

His might is real not a superstition https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/06/19/his-might-is-real-not-a-superstition-2/ https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/06/19/his-might-is-real-not-a-superstition-2/#respond Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:27:33 +0000 https://secretofsuccess.org/?p=2835 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).

In our main verse, Apostle Paul is praying for the saints in Ephesus. He prayed that way because, the people hadn’t come to the full knowledge of the divine might at work in them by reason of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

This might of God is not a superstition, rather it is based on the word of God. When a person makes up any baseless idea depending on things they see or hear, that’s a superstition. However, when you act on His Word and exercise your faith, you unleash the power of your recreated spirit into your world. Let’s see what Jesus said: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

Don’t be surprised when you realize that He is not saying that, “I will do it”, rather, he’s asking you to do it. This may not happen on the very first day. But, it all begins today when you choose to take control of your life. Do you know you can prophesy and speak peace, over your country or family? Do you know you can intercede for someone and have him/her saved? Do you know you can proclaim the word of God and deal with your issues? Before setting a huge target, win small battles. And that’s how you begin today.

Learn self-control and that time is not far when not only will you take control of your situation, but also of your loved ones. That time is not far when people around, you will come to you because they will recognize, that when you pray, there is a change in their lives. Discipline yourself and ensure that you will study God’s word every day. Congratulations, your future is bright!

Prayer
Thank you, Father, that I am made alive in my inner man with your might. I live each day with divine consciousness. I refuse to live an ordinary life. From today, I will take control of my situation. I will prophesy and reroute my future to glory, in the Name of Jesus. Amen

Have a Strong Desire to hear His Voice: Part one https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/06/12/have-a-strong-desire-to-hear-his-voice-part-one/ https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/06/12/have-a-strong-desire-to-hear-his-voice-part-one/#respond Thu, 12 Jun 2025 11:48:37 +0000 https://secretofsuccess.org/?p=2772 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6)

In this scripture, Jesus reveals a powerful truth: the reward for spiritual hunger is fulfillment. If you truly desire to hear the voice of God clearly and personally, it begins with hunger. A deep, burning desire to hear from the Lord is the key that unlocks clarity in divine communication.

Do you long for specific direction from God in your life? Begin by generating hunger. Hunger for His Word. Hunger for His voice. This hunger is not something that happens by its own—it is something you actively cultivate.

One of the first ways to stir up spiritual hunger is through prayer. When you pray, set your spirit to listen. “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” (Jeremiah 33:3). Before you study the Bible or even begin your daily study of the secret of success, pray. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your spirit to hear and reveal God’s voice through the Word.

Vocalizing your desire is important. Tell the Lord, “I want to hear from You.” The more you express your hunger, the more your spirit becomes sensitive to His voice. And you hear from Him with more clarity.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that You speak to me at all times. I desire to hear from You more and more in every area of my life. I open my spirit to hear Your voice with clarity and understanding. Thank You for always guiding me, leading me, and being faithful to direct my steps. I trust in Your voice above all else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)

Prayer is our divine communication with our Heavenly Father. It is not merely a moment to present our needs or ask for help—prayer is a sacred time of communion, consultation, and fellowship with God.

The Bible reminds us, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). While we may begin our prayer with thanksgiving and praise, it is essential that we also learn to quiet the noise around us, and within us, and become still before the Lord.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God”. In that stillness, our hearts become attuned to His voice. Prayer is not only about speaking to God; it is also about listening to Him. When we pray with spiritual alertness, we position ourselves to receive divine instruction, insight, and wisdom.

Jesus said, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15). It is in those moments of prayer, when our spirit is aligned with Him, that God often reveals things which are strategic for our future. He speaks direction, assurance, and even correction that shapes us into His purpose.

Therefore, let prayer be more than a routine in your life. Let it be your gateway to hear the heart of the Father.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the precious privilege of prayer. Thank You that Your voice is ever present to guide me and direct my steps. As I open my heart before You in prayer, I receive Your voice with clarity. Through Your voice, I chart the course of my life according to Your will. In Jesus’ name.Amen!

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27)

God’s voice and your response to His voice are very determining for your life. God desires to communicate with you, and hearing his voice is a gift of grace that requires both faith and a receptive heart.

When Adam and Eve started their journey on earth they knew God in the form of His voice. When they sinned, it was the same voice that came to them. In fact the Bible says: “they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8). Did you notice it says, the voice of God came “walking”. The voice of God is God Himself, and God is the personality behind the voice; therefore, it’s so important that you give it the same reverence and value.

When you hear His voice in prayer, during consultation, through God’s men, or through your surroundings and circumstances, it’s pivotal that you pay heed to it, without any compromise whatsoever. Abraham heard God’s voice and followed Him and it was counted for Him as righteousness (ref. Genesis 26), the same goes for Noah (ref.Genesis 6). Moses set His gaze on the burning fire and God talked to him through His surrounding (Genesis 3). And time will fail us if we keep talking of the men of faith who achieved greatness by simply following the voice of God. Thus, you must check your attitude towards the voice of God, because that is what determines your altitude of Greatness in life.

Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank you for giving me the privilege to be called your son and hear your voice. I follow your voice, with all my heart, all my mind and all my being. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end. (Daniel 6:26)

Daniel was among the four children of Judah whom the king of Babylon had taken to train in matters of the king’s palace so that they could serve him. The Bible says in Daniel 1:20; “And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.”

Daniel was found with; “an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts..”(Daniel 5:12). He served different kings and through his wisdom guided them, but his ultimate obedience was always towards God.

When King Darius became the ruler over Babylon. Daniel found favour in his eyes too, and he wanted to make him leader over all the kingdom. Some of the king’s wise men were jealous and thus tricked the king into making a law where in, everyone was to worship the king and not any other person or God, failing to do so would incur punishment. They knew that Daniel was a loyal worshipper of the Lord God of Israel, and wanted him to be punished. Despite the law, Daniel prayed to God as was his daily routine. Therefore, they presented him before the king, and though the king loved Daniel, he couldn’t go against the law he made himself, and hence Daniel was thrown into the Lion’s den as a punishment. The Bible says, the king had a sleepless night and the next morning, the king rushed to the lions’ den. He called to Daniel to see if he was still alive. Daniel called back! He told the king that God sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths. The lions did not hurt him. The king instead punished those wise men who tricked him into making the law, by throwing them into the same den. The king then abolished the law and instead made a remarkable decree: “I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom, men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions” (Daniel 6: 26-27).

How powerful is that! One man’s obedience towards God’s Word led a whole kingdom to come to the knowledge of God. This teaches us that no matter the situation, no matter the repercussions; we must always stick to our obedience towards God and His Word. God has never failed anyone who trusted Him, He will never fail anyone who trusts Him. Hallelujah!

Confession:
I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways I submit to him, and he makes my paths straight, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!!
