But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us (2 Corinthians 4:7).
As a child of God, the Bible says whatsoever you do, shall prosper: “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruitin his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalm 1:3). Never be idle or jobless; you must find something you’re goodat; something that’s good for God and good for people, and do it. Bless the world with the work of your hands. Look to the Holy Spirit in you for ideas of excellence. Remember, success isn’t all about money; if you have the right ideas, and discipline yourself in the direction of your ideas, money will come to you.
So come up with great ideas that’ll foster the progress and development of your environment, and the world of your time. One of the primary requirements for success is looking out for a human need, and then reaching out to meet it. How did Joseph, a prisoner, become the Prime minister of Egypt? He did something. He used his gift to serve others and God promoted him.
Some people believe the reason they’re suffering or poor is because of the kind of work they do. That’s not true! The problem isn’t the kind of work they do; rather it’s in their minds. Your mind is what determines what you become, for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).
Look inwards, and live from inside out. Put your creative juices to work. Initiate prosperity and victory from within you, for they’re inherent in your spirit. God has deposited in your spirit everything you require for a successful life. Search yourself; dig deep within you and discover the treasure and talents you have. Put them to work, and the anointing of the Lord will cause them to produce and multiply.
