Genesis 13:17

“Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.”

The imagination is a wonderful and powerful thing.  God gave us imagination so that we can see the things that He has promised us.

Look at Abraham, he had not yet possessed the land but God told him to look out from from the place where he was north, south, east and west because everything that he saw would one day be his and his descendants (Gen. 13:14-15).  When Abraham look out he could imagine the land filled with his descendants from the north, south east and west.  What was yet to be seen in the natural could clearly be seen in Abraham minds.

When you imagine something in your mind it builds desire in you to possess what you see.  The more you look at it the more you will desire it and scripture tells us that God will give us the desires of our heart (Psa. 37:4).  Therefore, one of the major things the enemy comes to steal from us is our desire.  If he can cause you not to desire something, than he has succeeded in stealing from you.

Don’t allow the enemy to steal your desire.  Visit your dreams do as God told Abraham arise, don’t be lazy in your mind.  Walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for the things you see are yours.

Success Is Given

Joshua 1:8″

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.”

Success is not something we gain, success is something we’ve been given.

However, does this mean that we don’t do anything?  No, of course not.  This means that God is letting us know the ending from the beginning.  This means that whatever God has told you to do, He has promised you success in doing it.  This is why we don’t give up because success has already been given.  It would be unjust for God to tell us to do something knowing that we might fail.  Imagine Jesus saying “lay hands on the sick and they might recover and they might not.”  Do you think the disciples  would have wanted to lay hands on the sick if they knew there was a possibility of the sick not recovering? Would you?   No, Jesus said “…they shall lay hands on the sick, and they SHALL recover” (Mark 16:18).  God tells us to do a thing, gives us the ability to do it and guarantees our success in doing it.

After Moses’s death Joshua was afraid and he lacked the courage he needed to lead the people of Israel over into their promise land.  However, God reassured Joshua by saying “there shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage for unto this people shalt thou divde for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them” (Joshua 1:5-6).  God told Joshua what to do, gave him the ability to do it and guaranteed his success.

The world works to get success, we work because we’ve been given success.   Even when it looks like you’re not succeeding, maybe a door has closed, or maybe you were going in a direction and you’ve had to change course and start in a another, God is with you.  He told Joshua “…for the lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9).  Because  He has guaranteed you success He is leading and guiding you into that success.

God gave us success when He gave us Jesus for without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).
