The major recipe for success is meditating on Gods Word and walking in obedience.
Joshua 1:8 says this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth but thou shall meditate in it day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou shall make your ways prosperous and then thou shall have good suceess.
Also, Psalm 1:1-3 clearly stated that we will be blessed because we do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners nor sit in the seat of the scornful BUT our delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law we meditate day and night. We shall be as trees planted by the rivers of water, our leaves shall never wither and whatsoever we doeth, prospers.
Sometimes, we as christians pride ourselves in the fact that we do not have close friends that "incurably crazy", our role models are not these kinds of people that the scripture mentioned. However, are there other friends we keep unconsciously that may deter us from enjoying a full life and being all we can be.
Generally, there are basic 3 gates through which information enters into our system that helps to form us.
Our eyes, Ears, Mouth
What friends do we make with our ears and our eyes especially.
Let's look at this together:
Eyes
What kind of things do we read and watch. Reading any misleading articles, whether porn or freedom seekers or anything that lures us away from the truth isn't healthy.
Ears
What kind of messages or musics do we listen to. Anything that doesn't build you spiritually or improves your emotional intelligence or teaches you to usurp authority is already out to destroy you. For kings are in power to punish those who err (Romans 13).
Mouth
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. By the time your ears and eyes have filled your mind and heart, it comes out through the mouth.
Therefore be careful. We may not keep physical friends or companies that are misleading but these are equally destructive.
Your life counts.....Make it so today
