«Mon enfant, écoutez-moi et fais ce que je dis, et vous aurez une longue, bonne vie. Je vais vous enseigner les moyens de la Sagesse et vous conduirai par des sentiers rectilignes. Si vous vivez une vie guidée par la sagesse, vous ne serez pas boiter ou tomber pendant que vous courez. Effectuer Mes instructions; ne les abandonnerai. Les garder, car ils vous mèneront à une vie bien remplie. "Proverbes 4:10-13 (NLT)

La Parole de Dieu nous indique toujours dans le sens de la réussite dans tous les domaines de la vie. On nous a donné un modèle de réussite atteint par les hommes et femmes de Dieu qui ont couru cette course devant nous. Ce plan nous montre ce que la récompense est pour une vie remplie de sagesse.

Many times we have breakdowns in our lives when we have missed, disobeyed or disregarded an instruction. Have you ever forgotten just “one” ingredient in a cake recipe? With just that “one” ingredient missing, it can ruin the entire cake. What a bummer that is!!! That is how it is when we have missed an ingredient in the recipe of life given in God’s Word.

When we follow the instructions of the Lord Jesus and do what He says, we can expect a life of fulfillment and peace. Failure comes to those who have not chosen the narrow pathway that leads to success. It’s not only what we know, but what we do with that knowledge that brings success and causes our lives to be fulfilling and blessed.

Proverbes 1:20-22 (NCV) “Wisdom is like a woman shouting in the street; she raises her voice in the city squares. She cries out in the noisy street and shouts at the city gates: “You fools, how long will you be foolish? How long will you make fun of Wisdom and hate knowledge?"

The Word of God works for anyone who will believe it and act on it. The Bible is God’s plan for man, and it’s only when we follow His plan that we will absolutely make our way prosperous and have good success. The world’s measure of success is totally different from God’s opinion of success. True lasting success is obedience to God’s instructions in His Word.

In the book of Joshua 1:8 (LSG) God tells Joshua His plan for success… “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; mais tu seras médite-le jour et nuit, that thou mayest observe to do according to ALL that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”.
