True Success
My beloved child success does flow through the bloodline, but you must seek My face for the path I have designed for you then step out in faith and take action. You have heard the old adage ‘if it is to be, it is up to me’ right – well from My perspective that is a half-truth and it should be: ‘if it is to be, it is up to Father God’. Otherwise, you are using precious time to do something that will ultimately fail if I am not in it! Most people fail many times before they succeed because they take off like a racehorse! They get an idea and take off running without consulting Me first. I make some poor and others rich, I bring some down and lift others up. I lift the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. I set them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is Mine says the Lord, and I have set the world in order. (1Samuel 2:7-8 NLT)
Trust in the Me with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek My will in all you do, and I will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT) My Son Jesus knew where He was to go and chose to do My will. He stated ”I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. (John 5:19 NLT) You cannot achieve success without Me! Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you the power to be successful, to fulfill the covenant, he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath. I am the One who gives you wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18 NLT). Every moment was precious to Jesus – He only went and saw those whom I set up by divine appointment.
He said, ‘It was necessary for Him to go out of His way and go to Samaria’. Why? He knew there was a Champion waiting for Him to speak life into at the well. This woman had been married and divorced five times and was just living with a man. Jesus understood and saw her brokenness, rejection, betrayal, abandonment, and the false accusations she had endured. He waited in the heat of the day for her to come because she wasn’t about to go in the cool of the morning and face off with the other gossipy slanderous judgmental women. (John 4: 7-26) Champions stand out from the crowd. That woman’s life was transformed that day and she ran back to her city without her pots to yell loudly to everyone: ‘Come see a man who told me all I ever did!’ They came, and she won her who city to the Kingdom of God that day! See how easy it was? He only went where His Father told Him to go and had appointments with those who were set up by Me! Success!
