Good Success Is In Your Mouth<br />

Joshua 1:8<br />

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate<br />

in it day and night…For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you<br />

will have good success.<br />

I had always wondered why the Torah (the first five books of Moses) is read<br />

out loud by the Jews. Then, a Jewish Christian told me that for generations,<br />

they read God’s Word out loud because of Joshua 1:8—“This Book of the<br />

Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and<br />

night…”<br />

The word “meditate” in English means to ponder. But in Hebrew, it is the<br />

word hagah, which means to utter or mutter under your breath. In other<br />

words, when you meditate on God’s Word, you speak forth or confess His<br />

Word instead of just giving it mental assent.<br />

My friend, hagah God’s Word by confessing verses in the areas that you are<br />

believing God for breakthroughs. When I was working in sales, I confessed<br />

verses like, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits<br />

of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty…” (Proverbs<br />

3:9–10) In the first year, I became the top salesman in my company! My way<br />

was made prosperous and I enjoyed good success.<br />

“Pastor <strong>Prince</strong>, I am waiting for God to make my way prosperous.” No,<br />

the Bible says that you will make your way prosperous when you hagah<br />

God’s Word. So speak forth verses in the areas which you want to see<br />

breakthroughs and you will have good success.<br />

Some people have success that destroys them—you don’t see them in church<br />

anymore and their family members don’t get to see them either. That is bad<br />

success. But when you hagah God’s Word, you will have good success that<br />

does not destroy you.<br />

Now, confessing God’s Word does not move God to do things for you. It<br />

is not a formula. God had already moved when He gave up Jesus to die for<br />

you. However, when you confess His Word, it moves you from a position<br />

of doubt to faith. It moves your heart from a position of “Is it true?” to “I<br />

believe it!” When that happens, “you will make your way prosperous, and<br />

then you will have good success”!<br />
