THE 10 BIBLICAL LAWS of SUCCESS

PREFACE

It is important to note that we are born to win. We are born to succeed. We are made with the potentiality to be purposeful, successful, productive, and contributory to society. We are made with the composition that is coded with the success DNA. However, many persons allow their codification for success to become invaded by negative resistors that alter its original structural and functional purpose. These negative resistors are in antithesis to your God-given potentiality and creative intentionality.
A vital part of individuals maximizing their potential is recognizing, connecting, and being infused by the power, wisdom, and divinity of the One who made them, God – the Creator. “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he who hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” (Psalm 100: 3) (KJV)
The word “Success” is not a bad thing. The word “Prosperous” is not a bad word. Many Christians feel uncomfortable using the words success and prosperity. Well, I have great news for you. God wants you to be prosperous and successful. No apologies. Here it is: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” (Joshua 1: 8) (NIV) The Bible further clarifies the desires of God for us, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2) (NKJV)
Christians should not apologize about their success or desiring to be successful. The same holds true for prosperity. Nothing is bad, degrading, unspiritual, or sinful for one being prosperous or having wealth, possessions, and money. It has always puzzled me why individuals in the faith community would denigrate the wealthy and successful, yet plead for money to build new churches, renovate old churches, start new ministries, and run major fund-raising campaigns for improvement and research and development (R&D) projects. It’s not the money that is evil, it’s the “love of money” – “For the love of money is the root of all evil…” (1 Timothy 6: 10) (KJV)
My previous Book, The 9 Universal Laws of Success, is inviting to all, regardless of religious persuasion, ethnicity, or socio-economic stratification. It reaches all and speaks to all. This sequel, The 10 Biblical Laws of Success is written primarily through the lens of the Bible, The Holy Word of God. This volume will also have Scriptures to support each Law and all quotations, chapters, and applications will be Biblically based.
The purpose of The 10 Biblical Laws of Success is to provide all, especially Believers, Christians, and Bible Readers to understand that God is intentional, serious, and invested in each person’s personal success and prosperity. This success and prosperity, of which I reference, is not restricted to the material - but includes the spiritual, physical, social, and financial. This success is comprehensive and all-inclusive.
As my first book, the idea behind this book is simple—to share these life-changing Biblical laws of success in one easy-to-understand, engaging, and thought-provoking format, so that you can read them start-to-finish and then apply them to your own life. By doing so, you will be guaranteed success, purpose, happiness, contentment, health, wealth, and actualization of your desired aspirations. In addition, you will grow spiritually and be a blessing to others with your God-given success, God-favored health, and God-purposed prosperity!
As you read the pages of this book, it is my sincere prayer, hope, and expectation that you will experience the God of all resources and His riches will become evident in your life.
Beloved, I wish you abundant Health, Happiness, Success, Peace, and Prosperity!
Blessings…
C.E.L.T.



INTRODUCTION
To help you fully integrate the 10 Biblical laws into your life, I’m including four “Action Steps” at the end of each chapter. I recommend you recite each of the four Action Steps and then apply them to your life in every way possible. Words without action are empty. Action without thought is senseless. The Action Steps will help you both commit and activate. This is the key to jumpstarting your own success journey.



CHAPTER ONE
The First Law
The Law of Potentiality


“Jesus looked at them intently and said, humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” (Mark 10:27)
- New Living Translation

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)
- King James Version

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Phillipians 4:13)
- King James Version

THE NATURE OF POTENTIALITY
Each person is a masterpiece of pure potentiality. Your ability to birth endless ideas, achieve desired goals, and generate fresh creations are a part of your chemistry. Your potential is limitless. You have the ability to experience full potentiality, however its expressions are driven by the awakening of the potentiality consciousness within. Our full potentiality hinges on our relationship and association with God. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) (NKJV) Without the God connection, we will experience limited potentiality.
As long as a person’s potentiality consciousness is dormant, partially awaken, or asleep, one lives in a limited frame imprisoned by restricted possibilities. Limited potentiality allows society, circumstances, challenges, difficulties, issues, and your ecology to determine the level of awareness and consciousness. Limited potentiality restricts creativity, constricts creative biochemicals, neurological synapses, neurons, hormones, and robust intellectual exploration from producing boundless imaginations, infinite ideas, and new discoveries within you. This law demonstrates the power of Efficacy and Potentiality.
