Prosperity Lifestyle 101

“For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). Our thinking sets the course for our lives. If we find we are not living the abundant life Jesus died to give us, we must examine our thought life. In order to prosper God’s way, our thoughts must agree with His Word. The words we are exposed to on a daily basis have a huge impact on our thinking. And the condition of our minds determines the condition of our lives.

The first thing to remember is that promotion comes from God and not from any other source (Psalm 75:6-7). Understanding this will help you to realize that if you desire a promotion, you need to strive to please God (not man) first. This means obeying God at every turn and taking the necessary steps to prepare yourself for His best. You must get your priorities straight by finding out what God says in His Word.

If California had allowed the obstacles and the marching band to get in the way of reaching their goal, they would never have won the game (25-20) or performed one of the greatest plays in all of sports history. What obstacles are you allowing to hinder you from pursuing your goals? Better yet, what goals have you set? It’s time for you to step out of your comfort zone and set goals that you have been too afraid to pursue. Do you want to start your own business, further your education, or get out of debt? After deciding on a few goals you want to obtain, write them down. Habakkuk 2:2-3 (AMP) says, “Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint.

Cultivating these critical elements can make the difference between standing out or being overlooked. Finally, there is the area of your work ethic. As Believers, we are to do everything in a spirit of excellence. Are you willing to “go the extra mile” to finish your projects and daily assignments, or do you take a lackadaisical approach, saying, “I’ll get to it when I get to it”? How do you handle yourself under pressure? Again, your supervisors and co-workers are looking to see whether or not you are truly faithful at work. Doing what is right because it is right, and then doing it right, is what character is all about.

Change is a lifetime endeavor, not a one-time event. My prayer is that you will continue to conform to the image of Christ by renewing your mind with God’s Word on a daily basis, so that you can truly know His good and perfect will for your life.
