“Choose this day who you will serve, as for me and my house we will serve the LORD” Joshua 24:15
4 Principals for a Successful Life
Mediate on the Word of God
Read it / Hear it / Obey it - pray over it and let it take root in your heart
No substitute for God’s word - it brings: conviction, conversion, conformity, cleaning
Why meditate on the scripture ? it produces growth, wisdom, fellowship, fruit bearing
Make your decisions based on biblical principles/ store the WORD in your heart
Mortify Sin - cut it out / do not let sin reign in your mortal body
It’s in your nature (the FLESH) / it’s at the core of your being / The heart is deceitful
Sin separates us from God / breaks communion / destroys spiritual desires
Sin is the greatest life long battle you will have - it’s taken many good men down (David)
Promise / Preparation / Prayer / Pain / Process
Move in Step with God
Abide in Him / hears his words / walk in fellowship with Jesus Christ
Walk in truth / Walk in the Spirit
Do not grieve the Spirit - by failing to act on His prompting / or by acting on evil desires
Walk by faith not by sight / not paralyzed by fear / stepping out on the promises of God
Serve God and Him only
Choose Whom you will serve and make life altering decisions
Cling to the LORD and allow no Idols in your life
Choose who you will serve
Why should I serve God ?
What if I don’t serve God ?
What will happen to my children if I don’t serve God ?
