Key Verse

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night…for then thou shalt make the way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8).

Text — Joshua 1:7-9

Message

Success in academic pursuit should be the utmost desire of every student at any level of education. However, true success comes from God as stated in our memory verse. When we meditate on God’s word and do all that He commands us to do, good success can only be the end result. To be successful is a two-way partnership deal with God on one hand, and the believer, on the other hand. Meditate on God’s word always to build a strong spiritual bond with Him.

Our part in the partnership with God for success include: adequate preparation – reading our books, doing our assignments and submitting them as at when due, listening attentively in class to our teachers, and asking questions on areas we don’t understand. On the other hand, those who don’t meditate on God’s word and do their part, resort to unethical short-cuts to achieving success through exam malpractices. Are you one of those who don’t read their books and cheat during examinations? If you are, you need to repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to avoid damning your soul.
