Friends, in spite of the daily battles we lose, we have won the war, Satan may win a battle but the war was won by Christ over 2 000 years ago.
Battles total up to a war but a single battle can’t be a war, we win some and lose some, however, Christ won all the battles and was declared to both heaven and earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Praise be unto him. Glad to tell that losing a battle can’t make us losers and for Satan to win doesn’t make him a winner, oh glory to God! The day I fully appreciate the finished work of Calvary, is when I will turn my failures into success, confusion into clarity, enemies into friends; see every opposition as opportunity, every cross as a crown and every step back as step forward. I was not created to be a trouble maker but a trouble eater. Problems, trials, pain and suffering are the devil’s tempting instruments but to God, they are testing instruments. Temptations seek to destroy while tests determine value, strength and readiness for function.
Temptations come to reduce a woman to a girl and a man to a boy. Tests produce a man from a boy, a woman from a girl and a giant from a dwarf. Sadly, God doesn’t use nice times to produce powerful people, He uses pain and trouble; hence the saying, “No guts no glory, no pain no gain, no scars no stars, behind every glory is a story.”
Calm seas don’t make good sailors, it is troubled and turbulent seas that train and produce tested sailors.
The problem you have cannot kill you and anything that can’t kill you cures you. If it kills you then it was not yours, God shall have made a mistake. You shall not be a problem victim, refuse, in Jesus’ name.
God is omniscient. He knows it all, the fuel in your tank, faith in your spirit, the distance you can go, how much strength you have and how much heat you can take. Refuse to live your life as a public mistake and walk as a public apology. Come on! Shape up, step up and speak up. Chest out, chin up, pull up and square your shoulders and walk tall. You have one life, live it!
Heaven knows failure, that’s why it is written in the Bible, the Bible parades men and women who failed on grand scales but rose from the ashes of failure and rebounded. You are not the first to fail and certainly not the last.
Deal with your failure where you failed, if it’s in public, don’t hide from the public but face it, if you hide, you stretch failure’s effect on you.
Learn from your failure and move on. Remember to forget your failures but never forget to remember your victories and successes.
In all things keep a positive attitude. Positive people find without seeking, what negative people seek without finding.
Prov 24:16.
