Proverbs 2:7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.
There is a humongous storehouse that holds success, wisdom and diligence in store for the upright and those who walk blamelessly before the Lord. Honesty and righteous lifestyle are the swipe cards to enter into the storehouse of success. In fact, success and victory follow those who walk in integrity and purity. There are three distinct layers of success for the righteous – purposeful life, prosperity and prominence that comes with promotion. “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor” (Proverbs 21:21).
The integral point to note is that we do not seek prosperity or promotion, these blessings are already waiting in the storehouse of heaven and the heavenly angels are waiting to courier the dispatch from the celestial to the terrestrial at the Lord’s command. These are things that we don’t even have to pray for. We don’t have to earnestly seek God in fasting and prayer for our next promotion. We don’t have to petition for our daily needs. Our Heavenly Father knows what we need and He is not a human with limited provision. He is the Father of abundance and does not sit back and watch His children struggle. Jesus said, your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 66;32b-33).
Success is stored in heaven for those who seek the kingdom lifestyle of righteousness, peace and joy.
Storehouse in heaven:
1. Purpose: A life of purpose is not self-seeking and self-absorbed but selfless and significant. Even as a captive in Babylon, Daniel became the most successful and influential person for four kings and three empires as his thoughts, words and actions were purpose driven.
2. Prosperity: Information that is available to all will turn into divine prosperous ideas and thriving investments for those who walk faithfully before the Lord.
3. Prominence: Significance will follow success in the life of the righteous. Prominence or significance is becoming a positive and powerful influence on others.
If we seek to live a righteous, faithful and purposeful life, the door of success will automatically open before us.
Prayer: My Dear Father in Heaven, I commit to live a life of influence to touch and transform my generation. Amen.
