“Success” is my identity, Amen.
In prayer, focusing on Jesus, it becomes good success!
The foundational “good success” scripture is Joshua 1:8, which emphasizes that success comes from meditating on God’s word day and night and acting on it. This verse promises that following this path leads to prosperity and, specifically, “good success” (or navigating life wisely).
Key “Good Success” Scriptures
- Joshua 1:8 (NKJV): “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success”.
- Joshua 1:9 (NKJV): “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go”.
- Psalm 1:1–3 (NIV): Describes the person who meditates on the law as a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit, and that “whatever they do prospers”.
- Proverbs 3:3–4 (ESV): Links success to steadfast love and faithfulness: “…write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man”.
- 1 Kings 2:3 (KJV): Encourages walking in God’s ways to “…prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself”.
Principles for “Good Success”

- Confidence in God: Success is accompanied by courage because God is with you.
- Integrity and Wisdom: Good success comes from honest dealings and following God’s commands, which brings favor with God and people.
