Secrets To Spiritual Success

Joshua 1:1-9

THEME: Everyone wants to be successful. That’s why we are drawn to “success stories” from people who have put into practice certain “secrets” and achieved physical fitness, personal happiness, or financial freedom and created a lifestyle we all dream of. Joshua is one of God’s most well-known success stories. He lived the kind of victorious life that every true Christian dreams of living. He was a courageous conquer who fearlessly trusted God, faithfully obeyed God no matter the cost, and wholeheartedly served the Lord his entire life. As a result, God used him and prospered him. In the opening verses of his book, Joshua shared the “secrets of his success.” He explained THREE STEPS to spiritual success that all of us need to learn and apply in order to experience God’s blessing on our lives.

1. STEP #1 = CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD (vv. 1-7)

2. STEP #2 = COMPLY WITH THE PRECEPTS OF GOD (v. 8)

3. STEP #3 = CLING TO TH PRESENCE OF GOD (v. 9)

Thank God for strengthening and encouraging you through the example of Joshua. Ask Him to help you trust and obey Him more this new year so you can experience more of the abundant life that Jesus promised (cf. Matthew 11:28-30; John 10:10).
