SP 11 B : Is It The Will of God For Me To Do What Am Doing Now ?

 

Don't just do things because other people are succeeding by doing it ,but rather do what pleases God , that is the will of God for your life . When you do what God wants you to do , you become successful , try as much as possible to discover what God wants you to do or the will of God for your life and start doing the same , then you shall succeed doing it .  

Success comes to us in the process of time if we do what God has ordained for us to do . Whatever people do in order to be successful is usually what God has wired them for . If God has not designed you to do a particular thing , and you discover that other people are doing and succeeding in it , it does not warrant that you too will become successful by doing the same thing .

True success comes to us when we do what God actually wants us to do . When that happens , it means we are fulfilling destiny the way God wanted you to be . How do you know that what you are doing is the will of God? The following are the characteristics that determine that you are actually doing what God wants you to do . 

Talent for it 

Whatever you are doing to become successful , make sure you have the natural talents ; that is the ability to do . You are naturally crafted to do such a thing . Your talent is your God given capacity or potential that enables you to do any handiwork without stress .If you are talented in doing the very work or job you are doing , you should know that it is the will of God for you .

This means in the process of time , you will become successful if you remain consistent with what you are doing as a child of God . Whatever God gives us talent for has the in-built capacity to make us successful in the long run . 

Skilled in it 

Whatever you are skilful or have acquired the skill to do , is definitely what God wants you to do , in order to become successful in life . If you find out that you do a particular thing , profession or career in an exceptional way and the end product is exceptionally good . Then of course , you are on the right path , it is the will of God for you . You are persistent in doing it , you will become successful in the end .

You love doing it 

Whatever good job or career  you love doing , might also be the will of God for your life . Such things can eventually make you successful , if you continue doing it persistently .There are some careers that a person might have passion for , usually something he cannot do without . This is usually knitted to his or her destiny , and such things eventually bring success to the individual .

You have the means

Another thing that should help you to discover the will of God in what you are doing is when you have the means to do the very work ,job , career , profession or business that you are doing or want to venture into .  There are times when you want to venture into something because people are doing it or someone has recommended it for you to do . Yet , you lack the means to do such a business or job . 

This means you do not have the resources necessary to such a thing . When that happens , after trying your possible best to acquire the means yet to no avail , it means that ,it might be against the will of God for you . In that case , you might do as much as you can , but you might not be successful in it .

It is Genuine 

Whatever you are doing or wants to do in order to become successful in life , it must be genuine work or job . This means doing illegal work or business such as drug paddling , trafficking or indecent work like prostitution is definitely not the will of God for you .

Anything illegal , fraudulent or abysmal is against the will of God , and whatever success you get out of it is a “ bad success” and not a “  good success “ . The bible talks about good success in Joshua 1:8 “ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

 Pray About It 

It is important that you pray to know the will of God concerning your business or work . Every child of God must be prayerful when it comes to doing any work , business , profession or career . Prayer is the most authentic way to discover the will of God for your pursuit of success . Yeshua told us about praying to discover the will of God.  “Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2
