BEYOND CONVICTION: LEARNING FROM THE WORD OF GOD (PART 7)

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: Joshua 1:8 KJV – “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

MEDITATION OVER CONVICTION: Success in the Christian walk is not built on waiting for conviction but on meditation and obedience to God’s Word. The Lord commanded Joshua to meditate day and night, not to wait for inner conviction before action. Prosperity and good success follow obedience to the Word. James 1:22

THE GUARANTEE OF THE WORD: Conviction is not a guarantee of success; obedience to the written Word is. Every believer who treasures the Word above feelings and personal leadings will walk in divine prosperity and lasting victory (Psalm 1:2-3).

THE PROOF OF SUCCESS: True spiritual success is measured by faithfulness to God’s Word, not by personal conviction. Only those who keep the Word consistently and put it into practice are assured of stability and good success in their journey. Isaiah 1:19

PRAYER:

Father, help me to meditate on Your Word daily and obey it fully. Let my life reflect good success according to Your promise, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

Psalm 1:2 KJV – “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
