MESSAGE:
A notable investor once said he kept making attempts at his targeted breakthrough, but could not arrive there until after about 6000 failures.
To him, he did not fail but only learnt 6000 ways by which you cannot arrive at that invention.
To arrive at your desired success, you may need to
fail a number of times, it is allowed.
Every tree, depending on its size, structure, root
network and age will take various hits from the axe before it finally falls.
Falling is rarely ever
the problem, it’s quitting that is. A quitter hardly ever overcomes problems.
Perseverance is the
key to major breakthroughs. Never give up on
anything positive that you set out to do no matter how hard it seems. Just keep at it and
eventually, you will reach your goal.
KEY POINT:
Your prayer efforts are not in vain; every prayer
is an axe hit against your problem.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 14-16
Mark 13:14-37
Hymn 2
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His
Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the
skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
4.But we never can prove the delights of His
love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His
feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will
go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
