God's Recipe for success!

God’s Recipe for Success

 

 

 

Deuteronomy 8:12-18

 

     I was reading the Readers Digest and there was a joke about success.

    Larry wins the lottery and dashes downtown to claim his prize.

   “Give me my 20 million,” he tells the man in charge.

    “Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.” The man says, “You will get a million today, and then the rest will be spread out over the next ten years.”

   Larry is furious.” Look,I want my money! And if you’re not going to give my $20 million right now then I want my dollar bill back!”

 

 

 

   Well God’s recipe for success is bit more different. God tell us first not to forget Him, his commandments, judgments and His statutes.

  God then shares with us in these passage several essentials for success which are:

 

1.    When you become successful and you have built beautiful homes, have cars, bank accounts, food abundantly and you are so filled up be careful that you don’t become puffed up! I did it!

Verse 17-18

    “And then you say in your heart, “My

power and the might of thy hand have gained me this wealth.’

     18  “And you shall remember the Lord your God ,for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

 

2. Keep God first!

   Verse 19-20

a. Don’t forget Him

b. Don’t worship other gods

C Don’t serves other gods

d. Don’t follow other gods

 

3. If you don’t keep God first then the results are: you will fail, you will perish and other nations will destroy you! Verse 19

 

4. You must be obedient to Him verse 20

 

    Well, look at us today as a nation; we have everything you could imagine and more!

   We are following other gods and we have lost prestige in the world’s eye! China owns us and Russia scorns us!

  We have accepted all kinds of sins! Abortions, lust, greed, same sex marriage, homosexual agenda on and on!

 

    Government that states look to me and I will be your guide and savior! That government is an evil and corrupt government!

 

    No! Friends, real success comes from looking to God! God alone is our Savior through His Son Jesus Christ! God gets the glory and not any man! God is the one who gives us power to gain wealth and not government or any leader of any nation!

       When we turn our eyes to Him and put Him first, He will heal our lives, land and we will be successful!

    God bless America and these United States!
