Succeed, grow, and prosper

There is only One that can make or break you.

“… you go by yourself and be strong.  God and God only has the power to help or hurt your cause.” +2 Chronicles 25:7-8, MSG

Fear not of any man on Earth or devil in Hell when you step out into the unknown – when you step out into a new endeavor.  There is only One that can make or break your success, His name is God, and He alone has the last and final say in all that you embark on.

Human help vs. God's help

"... You were foolish to go for human help when you could have had God's help.  Now you're in trouble - one round of war after another." +2 Chronicles 16:7-9, +MSG

When you forego God in your endeavors and prayer requests, you forego victory in your endeavors and prayer requests.  

+Charles Spurgeon

To the best of your ability

“The house I am building has to be the best, for God is the best…” #2 Chronicles 2:5 MSG

Whatever you’ve been given to do in life needs to be done to the absolute best of your abilities, because whatever you’re given to do comes from God and He is worthy of all our best efforts.  

Remember, God only gives you endeavors and directions that He knows you will excel in.  So what you may think is impossible, isn’t! God won't set you up to do it if you can't do it, and God won't set you up for it if you aren't the one with the abilities do the best job possible!

Dependent on God

But we beseech and earnestly exhort you brethren, that you excel to make it your ambition and endeavor to live quietly and peacefully, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, being dependent on nobody [self-supporting] and having need of nothing!  Adapted from 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

First off, work hard to take care of you and yours, and count on no one in this world to take care of your responsibilities for you.  Secondly, pursue peacefulness in all your endeavors, and let no mortal man rule your heart.  And most importantly, be completely dependent on God, because with Him no middleman is necessary - He will provide your every need.

Live life on fire for God

“Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.” Romans 12:11 AMP

Live life on fire for God, and, in turn, God will ignite your life on fire with His Spirit, which will lead you from blessing to blessing; from love to love; from life to eternity.
