PIDGIN GOOD SUCCESS!
Joshua 1:8–9 “Dis law wey God give yu must nor komot from yor mout! Yu must dey read and tink of am evriday and nite, so dat yu go fit obey evritin wey dey inside. Den yor way go dey rite and evritin go betta for yu. 9I dey tok again, so dat yu go dey strong kon get heart! Make yu nor fear or shake, bikos mi wey bi di Oga yor God, I dey with yu for evritin wey yu dey do.”
Everybody wan succeed and
remain successful, but na mostly by world standard. You don ever ask yourself
wetin God call success? For this world, success na money, big name, and
recognition.
But God own success deep
pass that one. E be good success—success wey dey come from obedience, godly
character, and God presence. Deuteronomy 8:18 even talk say na God dey give
power to make wealth, the same thing wey the world dey use measure success.
Joshua stand for the edge of
the Promised Land with big assignment, but God no give am battle plan first—He
give am spiritual blueprint.
From verse 8, we see say good
success start with God Word.
The first step na to
meditate on the Word day and night (meaning all the time). This one no be rush
reading. Na slow, gentle thinking—allow Scripture shape how you dey think,
wetin you dey want, and how you dey make decisions.
Psalm 1:2–3 show wetin go
happen: you go strong, fruitful, and steady like tree wey dey near water.
You dey meditate on the Word
well enough so you fit talk am when time reach? The instruction talk say make
the Book of the Law no depart from your mouth—meaning, make you speak the Word.
When we speak God Word, e
dey strengthen our faith and align our heart with wetin God talk.
Jesus Himself do this for
Matthew 4:4—when pressure and temptation come, He answer with Scripture.
The Lord give us the full
formula for success: “Make you dey do wetin the Word talk.” Obey the Word!
Obedience na the bridge
between wetin God show you and wetin you go experience. Instead of trial and
error, mistake upon mistake, or accidental success, God dey call us to simple
obedience—Word-based and Spirit-led.
Think of Noah for Genesis
6:22, Abraham for Hebrews 11:8, and Peter for Luke 5:5—all of them obey even
when dem no understand finish.
Good success also need
courage as verse 9 talk.
To truly succeed, we must
get liver believe say God presence go always dey with us wherever we go.
Courage no mean say fear no
go show. E mean say we still dey move forward because we sure say God dey with
us right inside the fear.
Joshua do am! He never lead
nation before. He never fight battle like this before. Everything new. But him
confidence no come from experience—na from the promise of God presence.
He get courage to stand firm
for obedience. Make we remember say obedience sometimes no dey follow what the
world like—it fit cost comfort or even bring criticism. But still, God promise
stand: “I go dey with you.”
Good success na partnership
with God for every area of life.
Joshua victories no be
because of smart tactics. Na because he listen and follow God.
Jericho wall fall for Joshua
6 because of obedience to strange instruction—no be military strategy.
Good success dey grow when
we waka with God step by step, not when we dey rush ahead of Him.
When we ask God before we take
any step or do anything for every area of life—we go avoid failure and
disappointment, and we go enter good success.
