But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.Romans 4:5 NKJV
Only when you see yourself the way God sees you, can you begin to expect success.
As long as you are depending on your own merits and your own works, you will always experience an element of self-doubt. This doubt will cause you to question whether or not God is going to show His favor in your life.
Who you are and what you have done has nothing to do with favor and success. This is good news because without Jesus you are nothing.
God’s favor and honor cannot be earned, they can only be given to you by God. Jesus is the one who earned them for you, but it is your responsibility to walk in God’s favor and success by faith so that they will become a reality in your life.
When you are in Christ, God sees you as righteous, above reproach, and worthy to be blessed with success. He delights to crown you with glory and honor. You are His child. Why wouldn’t He give you abundant favor and success in life?
Believe who the Word says you are and do what the Word tells you to do: “You shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (Joshua 1:8 NKJV).
In other words … expect success!
Confession: My God is a good God who delights to give me good success, not because of my works, but because I believe Jesus made me righteous and earned it for me. Therefore, I expect success.
