Getting a school degree is great and all-important, but there’s more to life than the education of the mind. There’s something more important than the education you receive from the four walls of an academic institution; it’s called spiritual education. For so many young people, having acquired an academic degree, they think that’s all they need to be successful in life. While it’s good to be formally educated, true success comes from the Spirit.
This accounts for the reason many of the world’s intelligentsia have a life that’s the complete antithesis of true success. Some people made straight “A”s in school but got “D”s in life. For example, a medical doctor who, after treating so many people, contracts a disease that has defied all medical solutions. Now, he’s unable to help himself. How sad!
Life is spiritual, and true success can only be achievable when you apply the principles of God’s Word. The Word of God guarantees your all-round prosperity; give it first place in your life. This is why, as a young person, you must put a premium on educating your spirit with God’s Word. Let no one deceive you, and tell you that life is full of ups and downs; you can be a success—a true success.
Joshua 1:8 NIV tells you how: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Proverbs 3:5 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” In all that you do in life, let the Word guide you; study it and do what it says, and you’d always be a success.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for giving me the understanding of the mystery of the kingdom of heaven. I submit myself to be continually educated by your Word; therefore, I declare that my life is a product of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
