But, you know what? You have an even better
reason to have a winning attitude than the general
did. God has guaranteed your success. Let me
show you what I mean. Imagine you’re about to
tackle a really tough job. Before you even get
started, God speaks to you right out loud and
says, “I just want you to know, I’m going to
personally see to it that this project you’re
working on succeeds.” Wouldn’t that give you a
tremendous feeling of confidence? Even if you ran
into some rough spots, you wouldn’t worry about
failing because you would have God’s word that
you were going to succeed. That would make it
easy to have a winning attitude, wouldn’t it?

Well, let me tell you something. You do have
God’s promise that you’ll succeed. He said in His
Word that you’re an “overcomer”! In Him, you can
overcome any problem the world throws your way.

Read 1 John 5:1-5:

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the
Christ is born of God: and every one that
loveth him that begat loveth him also
that is begotten of him. By this we know
that we love the children of God, when
we love God, and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that
we keep his commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous. For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh
the world: and this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world,
but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son
of God?

God is being unusually explanatory here. He
doesn’t normally give such in-depth explanations
of things that are written in the Word of God. The
reason: He intends that we take what He says by
faith, go to Him, and allow the Holy Spirit to
reveal it to our hearts. That way the devil isn’t
tipped off to what it means.

When it comes to prosperity, the Word of God
is the secret to your success. But just reading the
Word isn’t what makes you successful.

When God instructed Joshua about what to do
to become prosperous and have good success, He
told Joshua three things to do with the Word on a
continual, night-and-day basis. He said to speak
the Word, meditate on the Word, and do (obey)
the Word (Joshua 1:7-8).

When we get actively involved with the Word,
allowing it to fill our thoughts, direct our conversation
and determine our actions, that’s when
we really become doers of the Word. And God
promised us, the doer of His Word is who will be
prosperous and blessed.

Leviticus 26:3-5

KJV—If ye walk in my statutes, and keep
my commandments, and do them; Then I
will give you rain in due season, and the
land shall yield her increase, and the trees
of the field shall yield their fruit. And your
threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and
the vintage shall reach unto the sowing
time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full,
and dwell in your land safely.

Amp—If you walk in My statutes and keep
My commandments and do them, I will give
you rain in due season, and the land shall
yield her increase, and the trees of the field
yield their fruit. And your threshing [time]
shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage
[time] shall reach to the sowing time; and
you shall eat your bread to the full, and
dwell in your land securely.

NIV—If you follow my decrees and are
careful to obey my commands, I will send
you rain in its season, and the ground will
yield its crops and the trees of the field
their fruit. Your threshing will continue until
grape harvest and the grape harvest will
continue until planting, and you will eat all
the food you want and live in safety in
your land.

Leviticus 27:30

KJV—All the tithe of the land, whether of
the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the
tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.

Amp—All the tithe of the land, whether of
the seed of the land or of the fruit of the
tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.

Moffatt—The tithe of all the land, whether
in grain from the field or in fruit from the
tree, all belongs to the Eternal; it is sacred
to the Eternal.

NIV—A tithe of everything from the land,
whether grain from the soil or fruit from
the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to
the Lord.
