...He Leadeth Me...: biblical success for leaders

By Warren du Plessis

The Challenge: A young man, who had recently started his own business, said to me that there is nothing the Bible could teach him about achieving success. To him it was an old, outdated and impractical book that was quite irrelevant to his business aspirations and plans for success. Two years later he was back. His business was on the verge of collapse and he needed advice to get through the crisis. I reminded him of the Apostle John's prayer for Gaius: 3John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. John's desire for Gaius was total prosperity for body, soul and mind. With a challenge in his words the businessman asked, "Is that possible, and, if it is, how can I achieve success?" I reminded him that a good starting point was the advice God gave to Joshua as he was about to lead the Israelites into the promised land: 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. God's advice to Joshua was: get to know the Word and then do everything according to what the Word says. The Bible is for more than a spiritual guide, it is a book applicable to all life's situations.
