Receiving Strength for Successful Living

Receiving Strength For Successful Living

It is important to begin by saying that it takes strength, I mean divine strength, to live successfully in fulfilling the purpose of God.

No weak person can be relevant in the Kingdom of God nor in the society.

Your level of usefulness is a product of your inner strength.

God created man to live a successful life.

However man's success was to be within the will of God and within the environment God has placed him. Adam was only successful while he was in Eden.

Adam was lived a peaceful life full of achievement while he was in Eden and through the strength of God that was in him.

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. -Genesis 2:19

But along the way, Adam became weak and lacked the strength of God to do the will of God and to exercise the his authority.

The devil came into his life and weakened him. And as a result, he could no longer fulfill his destiny nor live a successful life which God has ordained for him.

The major activity of the devil is to weaken people, nations so that they cannot live the life God has ordained for them.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! -Isaiah 14:12

Until you are weakened by the devil, you cannot come under his afflictions.

Until you are weakened by the devil, he cannot have access into your like.

Satan will first weakened you by his lies, deceptions, wiles, fears, and doubts before he could have access into your life.

As long as the nations are under the weakening activity of the devil, the devil will always have control over them.

To live a successful life therefore we must overcome and live beyond the weakness the devils at us.

It will take the strength of God to live a successful life.

It will take the strength of God live above the weakening activity of the devil.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength. -Philippians 4:13 (Bible in Basic English)


To every kingdom child, Christ is our strength.

Psalm 27:1-5

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.


You cannot be strong until you are strengthened by Christ. And until you are strengthened by Christ you cannot live a successful life in the Kingdom.

If Christ is our strength or Christ is the one that strengthens us, then the more we relate with Him the more He infuses His strength into us.

Your relationship with Christ will determine your level of strength in living a successful life full of peace and blessings.

We grow in strength by growing in our relationship with Christ.

Prayer is one major way to tap into the strength of Christ as we relate with Him.

Acts 4:31 - 33

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

The apostles had unusual strength because they prayed and maintained their relationship with the Lord.

You cannot be a man of strength if you are not a man of prayers.

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. -Luke 4:14

After prayed 40 days and night, he returned with power of the Holy Spirit. The power of the Spirit simply means the strength of the Spirit.

He got the strength on the platform of prayers.

You cannot lack strength when you are given to prayers.

As you grow in prayers you also grow in strength.

As you grow in strength, you stand strong against the devil in establishing the will of God and at the same time, live successfully.
