Message
The Bible rightly said that, it is the blessings of the Lord that maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. In the world we live in today, we see a lot of people display success, achievements, wealth, fame, just name it, as a mark that they have arrived. Many of these achievements never came through God’s grace but through strife, dishonesty, dubious ways and all kinds of manipulations.

True success begins with knowing and accepting Jesus as one’s personal Lord and Saviour. This is done by turning away from all known sin to Christ and cleaving to Him till the end. When Christ comes in, He teaches and directs our paths through His grace so we can go forward and be very successful. Isaac in our Bible passage was a very successful man, who made gradual progress through God’s grace and success became easy for him.Do you desire true success in life? Then come to Jesus today. He will make your life new and He will give you what it takes to have good success with ease.
Further Reading: Joshua 1:1-8
Prayer for today: Dear Lord, please come into my heart today, hold me through life’s journey and help me to achieve good success.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
