Godly Wisdom for Success at the Workplace

By Ayodeji David Olusanmi

The passages of Scripture are filled with wisdom (in the form of instructions, principles, and patterns) that will make anyone succeed if they are obeyed. In this book, you will learn p

INTRODUCTION

God is an epitome of success, and this is one thing you can’t remove from him. He wants all his children to follow in the same manner. No child of God should be less than successful, not just because our father – God – is a success, but because of so much more that he has made available for us to be one. The word of God tells us that we are a success and His word also shows us how to be successful.

If therefore, any believer is found to be less than what the Bible calls success, this indicates that something is wrong somewhere. Many things might wrong. It is obvious that individuals are not measuring up to what God planned for them, and are either not taking advantage of what God has provided or they are completely ignorant of it.

It is my understanding that God wants his children to be successful in all that they do. Whatever, as a child of God, you lay your hands on, should succeed and prosper.

There are those who only succeed in one area of their lives and fail in others. There is nothing in this world that is strong enough to stop a child of God from succeeding if you are ready to give it what is takes. Life does not give you what you deserve but what you demand! To be a success in one area and a failure in another is not a good representation of God.

You are a success to the level at which you yield yourself to the directions of the Holy Spirit. I had a situation in our Church and I spoke to a mother in the Lord, and her response was that you can only pastor what people make available to you. God does not force Himself on us, but when we yield and obey him, he blesses the obedient.

Remember, Godly wisdom is positive, result oriented and practical. But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it. Luke 7:35NLT. In other words, the result you produce will show the world if you are indeed operating with the wisdom of God. Godly wisdom will justify you!

If you are working with divine wisdom, you will have practical steps to follow and practical things to do. Success in life is not mystical, its practical! Nobody succeeds by luck or chance alone.

When Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream, part of the instruction was to save 20% of the food. That is a practical step! Saving is one of the practical thing you can do to succeed in life. "This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and
