LOOK UP!

LOOK UP!

April 9th, 2001

Your very first step to the top is to have the God who cannot be compared with any other, who loves good and not evil, who doesn't push people down but lifts them, who originates success, creates good things and gives the good life. But don't settle with just having Him, let Him be your mentor, your daily guide, your inspiration, the keeper of your vine and your source of supply. God cannot do much for your success without your cooperation, but when you continually seek Him, you can never fail. God's way is always up and never down. He never encourages a low, backward or retrogressive life. Instead, He warns against it. Paul said, "… this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before," (Philippians 3:13). You must keep looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Be like Abraham who kept looking for a city whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10). When you look to God, you see solutions, you see answered prayers, you receive visions and get to know Him better. God didn't bring you this far to forget you. He has every detail about you. Not only does He want to be identified with you, He also wants to be responsible for your success and progress in life. He said to David, "I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth." (1 Chronicles 17: 8). David would have been the only one to hold back God's hand through disregard of His Word, but he chose God above every other thing. God has the best plan to make you a success as long as your heart is turned to His Word. Recognize His leading in your life and follow His directions. You can only find yourself at the top.

 

Confession

Lord, I lift my eyes to you; you are my Helper, my Master and Provider. I do not take my eyes off your Word but keep it in my heart and before my eyes. I meditate in your Word day and night and make conscious decision to do your Word only, that I may prosper and have good success, in Jesus Name. Amen. FOR
