Persistence - The story of the little boy and the skate board

PERSISTENCE-THE STORY OF THE LITTLE BOY AND THE SKATE BOARD

LUKE 18:1-8

A little boy was learning how to skate on snow. His frequent fall provoked the pity of a passer-by who said, “you are getting all banged up, why don’t you stop for a while and watch others do it?” with tears still rolling down his cheeks from his last fall, the boy looked up into the eyes of the adviser and said, “ Mister, I didn’t get this shoes to give up with, I got them to learn how with.” The uninvited passer-by quickly hurried away and I tell you, nothing will stop that boy from learning and mastering how to skate.

 Listen brethren, the holy Ghost wants you to know that success in most cases depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed. Giving up because of adversaries will add your name to the list of failures. Patience and strong determination can be compared to the dropping of water which finally wears away the hardest stone.
The man or woman who reserves and perseveres can do and have almost anything. Be that kind of person. Your destiny is too great to be lost to impatience. Did they wicked judge in our scriptural reference not bow to the persistence of the widow?

So why do you think your case Is different. Don’t give up now even when you think your pathway may be rough and narrow and your tomorrow looks unreal. No matter what the size of the bottle is, the cream always rises to the top.

So be persistent.

FAITH CLINIC
DIG THROUGH THAT ROOF


MARK 2:1-12

When the great William Grace, founder of the Grace shipping line and ex-mayor of New York was asked the secret of his outstanding success, he quickly said, “the secret of success is stick-to-it-iveness, industry and strict attention to the main object at hand.”

When General Grant, who fought at the battles of Fort and Shiloh, USA, was asked to comment on how his troops won, he said, “I thought I was going to fail, but I kept right on.” What a lesson. It is this keep right on that wins the battles of life. I remember that it has been written that there is nothing new under the sun-Eccl 1:9. What this means is that someone has conquered whatever you are passing through or will pass through in this life at one time or the other before. No problem can paralyse you except you give up so soon. Every problem in your life has been given an expiry date by your God- The God that can expire all things without expiring.
That battle confronting you has been instructed in the spirit world on how long it must stay. It is definitely not forever and you won’t expire with it. The slow penny in God’s will is surer than the quick dollar in man. The slow trotter will out travel the fleet racer. It is the grace of God.

The scripture reference above renders that when they could not come close to him (Jesus), the opened the roof. The amplified version says they dug through the roof.
They dug through. Digging is tough. Waiting is tough. But listen child of God. The way is always through. Yes. There is always a way out of every battle. Find it. Refuse to give up. Assuming these men saw the crowd and gave up, satan would have rejoiced. But they knew that,

yes, the crowd of problems may temporarily block the face of the master, but stubborn determination and persistence will open the roof for the shower of manifestation. Yes, every obstacle has an opportunity, and every opportunity has an obstacle, but never forget that for every crowd of delay or disappointment, there is a roof of appointment. Patience will show you that roof.
All the men who the world called geniuses like Isaac Newton, owe all their greatness to abnormal and aggressive patience, stubborn determination and faith in God. Hold on, the last battle could mean your victory. Dig through that roof because this could be your year of great open doors. Amen.

Boast only in Christ and shore up your faith

PRAYER

Lord, grant me the grace to hold on and wait for you when necessary, Amen.

GOD IS NEVER WRONG

GOD IS NEVER WRONG


ROMANS 8:28
PSALMS 46:1-11

If the time comes that all hell is let loose against you and you are thrown into your burning furnace, just know that God will never take anything away from you without giving you something better. The battle he allows is to mould you into the kind of person you should be. Jeremiah 29:11 says “for I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

God will never ask you to become a wrong kind of person to do the right kind of things. God can never be wrong, his ways are perfect and farther than your brain can imagine. Just believe that when the best things are going wrong, God will always be there to make you strong. As you journey through life, have faith in God.

 When people hurt you, God will heal you. When you people humiliate you, God will magnify you. When people judge you, God will justify you. Have faith in God because he is never wrong. Life is like a camera. Focus on what is important, capture the good times. Develop from the negatives, and if things delay and don’t work out, take another shot and you will know at last that God is never wrong. Resist fear for everything you want in life is on the other side of fear (Jack Canfield)

Don’t allow depression, self-pity, inferiority complex, self-comparison, suicide thoughts etc. to master your mind. In your battle front, be still and know that he is God. Drown in your tears if you may, but you are swimming out at last if you wait on him because God is never wrong. Something great is in the making for you.
PRAYER
Lord, through the many zig-zags and twists of life, lead me to that expected end of my destiny in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen

Child of God,trust in God and his son Jesus, and you will see that he is never wrong.

When your pilot dies-learn to trust in God

WHEN YOUR PILOT DIES—LEARNING TO TRUST IN GOD
The news was explosive in the world-wide media when it was reported that a pilot dies mid-flight and the co-pilot landed the plane. On examination, the autopsy revealed he had a heart attack and the wife confirmed that her husband underwent a heart surgery in the past and he was told he would likely die of a heart attack. There were 147 passengers in the plane and five crew members when it too off from the airport. When your pilot dies mid-air, then only God can make sure you see land again.

The holy Ghost is saying to you in this sermon “for I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.” Psalm 44:6. Refuse to trust in your bow, anything or any person around your life and family. Refuse to look at the things that gives you confidence, including your job, career, spouse, helpers etc. psalm 118:9 says, “it is better to trust in the lord than to put confidence in princes.”

Lynn Barber said, “I learned not to trust people, I learned not to believe what they say, but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people, even when you think you know them very well, are ultimately unknowable.”

Did you get that? The lord is warning you that your bow- your wife/husband, your pilot, your pastor, your best friend- can fail you at one point or the other.
Love people, but never have absolute trust in any man or woman. Give that trust to God alone. Look back and thank God. Look up and trust God. He alone closes doors that no man can open and he opens doors that no man can close.
Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, if I ever trust in any man or woman on this earth, let him or her disappoint me.
