2 Chronicles 31:21 reads, “He was…successful…because he obeyed the Lord.”
Here are 7 scriptural steps to success in life:
1) Put God first.
He wants you to succeed; what good parent wouldn’t? So work on your relationship with Him. “Acquaint now thyself with him…thereby good shall come unto thee” (Job 22:21).
2) Help others to become successful.
“Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:8). Don’t just be interested in yourself, become interested in others, too.
3) Create a climate of confidence around you.
As long as you keep speaking words of doubt, you’ll never experience victory. Remind yourself that your “sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5).
4) Stay informed.
“A wise man will hear and increase in learning” (Proverbs 1:5). Observe, read, and grow. If you’re willing to pay money for a good meal but not for a good book, perhaps you value your appetite more than your intellect.
5) Visualize yourself attaining your goal.
Think and talk in success pictures. Moses did that: “He had his eye on the One no eye can see, and kept right on going” (Hebrews 11:27).
6) Write down your plan and establish deadlines.
Make a detailed list of required activities and set checkpoints. Guard your mind and prioritize your time. “Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get” (Ephesians 5:16).
7) Set a realistic goal.
And work towards it one priority at a time. Many things in life fail for one reason – broken focus. So avoid distractions: “A double-minded man is unstable” (James 1:8).
If you do these 7 things, you’ll succeed in life.
