42 Awesome Scriptures on Success For You To Memorize This Year

Scriptures on the topic of success should lead you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ for the good success that he has made available to you. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, The Holy Bible is replete with scriptures on success, longevity, favour, grace, mercy, prosperity, and health (among many other things).

In many respects, these themes flow together because they are the prosperity of the body, the soul and the spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ said it like this: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

Success in God's Eyes Begins In His Kingdom

It's interesting to note that in the mind of God, eternal life is the focus, but out of that eternal life will flow the life of God.

It is our prayer that the life of God will flow through your life, so that the Lord God Almighty, through the Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified in every way.

What do you have in your heart? Do you have a goal, dream, or vision for your life? Have you submitted that goal, that dream, or that vision for your life to the Lord?  Psalm 37:3-5 talks about committing your way unto the Lord, and Him giving you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:3-5  3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

God Directs Your Success in Life Through Desires

Do you know that God can give you desires for success? Yes, He can. Because there are things that God wants to be done. There are good works that He wants to be done and they can only be done through a human vessel.

Let The Lord Lead You To Good Success

And if anybody can do it, why not you? Now, don't get me wrong, God has specific tasks for everybody. And it's the will of God that you have great success in doing what He has called you to do. And this is why the scriptures in Proverbs 3:6 says that in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. 

God is a good God. He is a faithful God. And To Him belongs all wealth, all glory and prosperity and riches and blessing. May your life overflow with the blessing of God; so much so that the Lord uses you as a conduit of His grace, mercy and prosperity to the world.

Matthew 6:25-33

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O…
