Secret to Prosperity: Letting Go & Grabbing Hold

LETTING GO

When you’re led by God (and I mean you have truly given your career comprehensively to the Lord) what you’re saying is,

“God, I believe that you have a mysterious plan for eternity that is infinite in its detail and definite in its completion. And I believe that you created specific people to play specific roles and that I was created by you for one reason:

To grab hold of the role you have created expressly for me and only me, and to live it out to its fullest regardless of what pain or joy, suffering or celebration, it may bring. And I begin by dedicating my career to You by offering it up as a stage on which to speak the role you have created for me.”

In this way I am unquestionably an instrument of God Almighty - an active participant in the activities that will help bring God’s plans to fruition according to his divine timing, not my selfish ambitions or definitions of success.

Prosperity is not about being a leader, it’s about being led.

GRABBING HOLD

When you’re there, then the Creator of the Universe himself takes charge of your career, not the person on the other side of the desk. You no longer have to be concerned with political positioning, jockeying for advancement, winning the favor of others for self-serving reasons, playing corporate politics, or manipulating the latest gossip. Since God is above all of these things than he will create situations and circumstances that places you above all these things as well. All you must do then is to work as though you are working for Christ and to be significant where ever you are you'll see that God will take your career to greater heights than you ever thought possible.

The Bible is replete with people who, left to their own resources, never would have achieved what they did. They would have been lost in a cast of thousands, but they grabbed hold of the role God had created them to play - people like Moses, Nebekanezzer, David, Joseph, Ruth and the disciplines. Only when they prayed for God to reveal to them his divine burden did their selfish ambitions melt away as the Creator revealed his role to them – the role, the reason, they were created.

Go get to prospering.
Let go of selfish ambitions and grab hold of the role God created you to play.
