Don’t give UP too soon
Know ye not that those who run in a race all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain it. (1 Corinth 9:24)
I have had some very challenging days behind me. Days I had to put the WORD to work deliberately or sink into depression. Days I have had to hold it together when it felt like things were falling apart. These were the days when I knew that my faith was the only thing that could carry me through. These days were actually the best days, because, when I was weak, then, I was really strong. Then I knew what I was truly made of, and the power of WORD to work all the time. (That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinth. 12:10).
Use the power of the WRITTEN WORD
When you are all alone in your whatever situation, don’t allow the devil to badger your mind, tear up on the inside. In life we are all going through changes, growing pains. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, a health issue, etc., you may experience feelings of just throwing in the towel and quitting altogether, at least temporarily. Don’t let those changes whip your out of faith out of shape, without you opening your mouth and speaking the WORD. Refute every negative thing the devil throws your way. Refute the negative with the WORD of God. Don’t give when tough times come, they don’t last. Positive words will not be enough, the WORD of God is potent with power to bring about change and that’s enough. The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, it cuts on every side (Heb. 4:12).
The victory is yours, take it
We are more than conquerors, even when you feel like you are loosing. This is where you reassure yourself that you have already won, so you stand on the victory that is already accomplished in Jesus Christ. We don’t guess our way as believers of this great faith, we know the outcome already. Good or bad days, they’ll come but you get to pick, how you will participate. There is a lifeline extended to you, when you feel like you are sinking take it, use it, He’s Jesus. Don’t take for granted what he can do. Really, when you give up too quickly, you rob yourself from seeing the victory.
You never loose when you never quit
You must note something, no one knows your story like you do. No one can live it, like you do. When the curtains come down it’s just you and Jesus alone to battle and to work it out. Rest assured though, that you and Jesus are a majority. The power of impact is not always measured in the multitude of the people involved, but the quality of those who are involved. Employ your faith in the process, this will be a battle you will never loose as long as you determine in your heart that you will never quit. The greater one lives in you, and he is always on your side, just don’t give up too soon. Hang in there a little longer.
What are you most likely to give up on? For most people it’s your dreams and vision. What has God spoken to you, that you feel like time has gone and it seems like nothing is happening or going to happen? Share your experience and let’s pray. – Coming Soon!
