Success is the birthright of every true believer, but to actualize this involves certain demands Mat. 5:13-14; Jn. 21:5-6. Though success is believer’s right, it is a covenant that demands for believers to play their part for God to be committed to deliver Jer. 33:20-21; Psa. 89:34.

Covenant Demands for Success.

1. Divine Wisdom Factor.

Creation is the greatest story of all time, and it is the wisdom of God in display Psa. 104:24; Pro. 3:19; Jer. 10:12. It is knowing the right way to go from the word, and going there Psa. 119:105; Isa. 55:8-11. It is knowing the right thing to do from the word, and doing it Mat. 7:24-25.

Access to the Flow of Divine Wisdom.

1. New Birth.

Christ is the wisdom of God; His presence in a person’s life is the fundamental access to divine wisdom 1Cor. 2:12-14; 1:24; Mat. 11:19.

2. The Fear of the Lord.

The Fear of the Lord means hatred for evil, sin, and everything that God hates Pro. 8:13. This is an essential access to the wisdom of God, as we saw in Joseph and Daniel Psa. 111:10; Pro. 9:10.

3. Prayer and Fasting.

Prayer and fasting grants believers’ access to the realm of divine wisdom Jms. 1:5. Everyone in scripture given to the life of prayer and fasting were individuals who walked in wisdom, like David Psa. 55:17; 1Sam. 18:5, and Daniel Dan. 6:18; 5:11-12.

4. The Study and Practice of God’s Word.

God’s word is the depot of divine wisdom Pro. 2:7. It is through the study and practice of God’s word that we access the wisdom it carries 2Tim. 2:15; Jms. 1:22-25.

5. Learning from those Who Have Proofs.

Anyone with result has the wisdom that enabled him to deliver that result Pro. 9:1. Learning from such is a cheap way to gain access to wisdom that empowers for delivery of proofs Jer. 6::16-17; Heb. 6:12-16.

6. The Art of Meditation.

Meditation is to think, ponder, or muse on God’s word to get at the virtues in it, one of which is wisdom. Meditation on God’s word makes wise Psa. 119:97-100; Pro. 18:1; Lk. 16:17-19.

Conclusion.

Salvation makes an individual the child of the ‘Most High’, this makes the person have nothing to do with mediocrity or failure. All that is required is for the individual to accept responsibility.

Salvation Prayer.

To anyone reading this who desires to give their life to Christ, pray this prayer out loud with me from your heart:

“Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins; wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me; on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you, Jesus, for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen!”

Prayer.

1. Father, endow me with your grace for perfect walk in the covenant, thereby empowering me to rise to the top beginning from this month 5:14.
