THE BLESSING FROM A PARENT TO A CHILD
King David blessed his son Solomon and declared these words of blessing over him so he would be successful.
How does true success come?

What does a leader need to lead well?
And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the Law of the Lord your God as you rule over Israel. (1 Cron. 22:12 NLT)
How will a leader be successful?
. For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the Lord gave to Israel through Moses. (1 Cron. 22:13 NLT)
Message to leaders:
Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart! (1 Cron. 22:13b NLT)
What do you need to be successful?
1. For God to be with you.
2. For the Lord to give you wisdom and understanding.
3. Follow God’s instructions.
4. Be strong and courageous.
5. Not be afraid.
6. Don’t be discouraged.
Think about it:
What has God told you to do that you still haven’t done?
Have you acted out of your own wisdom or have you asked God for wisdom?
What things have you not done out of fear?
