Scriptural Reading: 
Joshua 1:1-8

Text:
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (vs. 1:8).


Commentary:
From the beginning of life here on earth, man wakes up on a daily basis and gets busy with so many things, just to become richer than the previous day. But it has been discovered that most times little or no headway is made at the long run.  Sometimes, less is even achieved.

Do not go to bed today without first of all asking yourself why this is so and striving to get the answer to this question. Every question concerning the how and where of success is clearly shown in the pages of the Holy Scripture (The Bible).

To be successful in your life, study the word of God, meditate on it and do what is written in it daily. Then, your life will enjoy an uninterrupted divine success and eternal prosperity.

From our text we can identify the principles of good success, the overwhelming fact is that you should pray for your success not to come any faster than you are able to endure it.

Prayer Points:

1.         Help me Lord to understand the plans you have for me.
2.         Grant me your grace to study to do what is in the Scriptures.
3.         Oh God may my good success remain forever and draw others to you.

Sleeping Capsule:

The steps to divine success are in the Holy Bible; study it!

The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

DAY 18 - NIGHT OF COMPASSION

Bible Reading: Matthew 15:21-28 Bible Text: Romans 9:15 '…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.' MIDNIGHT MEDITATION: The Canaanite woman had a demon-possessed daughter whom she dearly loved; maybe the child was the only child she had. As a mother, she must have tried everything to ensure that her child regained her health back but all proved to be to no avail. The woman heard of Jesus and travelled down from Canaan to see Jesus in the region of Tyre and Sidon where He was preaching. Desperate and in agony she ran to Jesus and we see the following come into play: She pleaded for Mercy.   This woman had come with all assurance that Jesus, a merciful king would listen to her plight and heal her daughter but she received the shock of her life: Jesus did not answer her, not even a word! What a great embarrassment it must have been to run to someone you required help and have him not utter ...

DAY 15 - NIGHT OF DEALING WITH FOUNDATIONS

Image
Bible Reading: Zechariah 4:1–10; Psalm 11:1-3 Bible Text: "If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3) MIDNIGHT MEDITATION: According to Merriam Webster Dictionary , the word 'foundation' means something (such as an idea, a principle, or facts) that provides support for something. It is a basis (as a tenet, principle or axiom) upon which something stands or is supported. i.e. an underlying base or support. Holman Christian Standard Bible dictionary defines foundation as the sturdy first layer on which a structure is built. Figuratively, the principles or initial work upon which what follows is based. Putting all these into constructive consideration; without any iota of doubt, foundations are very important in the spiritual realm; it has generational consequences. Although our past is gone and seemingly forgotten by several people, it is worthy to note that the past is not a “dead dog” but a “sleeping Lion” that ca...
