TOPIC : THE FORCE OF A DETERMINED HUMAN SPIRIT
TEXT GENESIS 26 : 17-22
[17]And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
[18]And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
[19]And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
[20]And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
[21]And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
[22]And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Determination is a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.
It is the ability to continue attempting to do something although it is very difficult.
There is a force that is embedded in the human spirit that can defeat all obstacles if deployed in the battles of life, it is called determination or resilience.
Isaac faced sever oppositions in his search for water in their largely desert region.
His greatness was predicated upon finding water for irrigation otherwise his dream of agriculture and animal husbandry would have been ended a nightmare.
Nothing great can be achieved without determination.
As you enter this new month become determined to succeed.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
