TOPIC: FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” – 1 John 4:4 (KJV)
Beloved, settle it once and for all in your heart, you will succeed! For you, failure is not an option. You have what it takes to chart a new course, to create impact, and to leave a mark on your generation.
The world is eagerly waiting for your manifestation. So rise up and pursue your dream with courage. Don’t be afraid to take bold, calculated risks.
I get weary of hearing believers say they love God but have nothing to show for it. Tell me, what have you achieved with the power of God inside you? Why allow the enemy to toss you around as if you carry nothing? You are not ordinary. You are a child of God, divinely equipped to excel in every area of life.
You were ordained before you were born to be a success story. So refuse to accept failure. Refuse to make excuses. Make up your mind to rebel against failure in every area of your life. Stand your ground and declare, “I cannot fail!”
When will you start doing things that truly count? How long will you waste precious time doing nothing with your potential? Let this be your wake-up call, rise up and take your place! God delights in your prosperity. In your field, your career, your ministry, or your business, His will is for you to stand tall among your peers.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t be discouraged. The devil cannot keep you stagnant. What you carry within you will announce you. The Greater One lives in you, and that means nothing can hold you down!
Be strong and courageous. Yes, there will be giants on your path, but face them boldly. You have what it takes to conquer. Step out of your comfort zone! Just like the four leprous men who decided to move forward in faith, God is waiting for your step of obedience to release your miracle.
“And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.” – 2 Kings 7:5 (NKJV)
