In life, people may find themselves in certain
circumstances they weren’t responsible for. Yes,
others can create situations or circumstances—pleasant or
unpleasant—for you, but ultimately, you have a role to play in
determining the final outcome of your life.
The circumstances of your birth may not have been so
palatable. You may have been born into a poor home; and
you had nothing to do with that. That was another person’s
responsibility. But don’t maintain the status quo, because
someone else was responsible; change things! You may have
been born poor, but you weren’t born to be poor.
If you were attending a particular school, and for some
reason the school closed up, are you going to say, “Well,
there’s no need for me to go to school anymore?” No, you’d
go to another school, or read at home and enroll for your
exams. So, always, there’s something you can do for yourself.
God needs your action. He needs your response. No
Christian is ever disadvantaged in life. You can be a success
in life.
In our opening verse, God tells us how to become
a success; it’s by meditating on the Word day and night.
Practise this. As much as He wants you prosperous, healthy,
happy, strong and vibrant, you have a vital role to play in
making His dream for you come to reality. Irrespective of the

circumstances or the things you’ve been through in life, the
onus is on you to be triumphant.
As a child of God, you’re not helpless. You have the
Holy Spirit, and He’s your unparalleled advantage. You can
do anything, be as successful as you want to be, and be a
great blessing to your world. Yes, you can! God is waiting for
you to take the action. Take a hold of His Word, and let His
glory, grace, and excellence, be expressed through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, your Word is in my
heart and in my mouth, even the
Word of faith, which I’ve
believed. I stand firmly on your
Word, and with it, I subdue
circumstances! I reign
victoriously in life, expressing
your glory, excellence,
righteousness, and grace, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
