TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
THE FORCE OF PERSEVERANCE .
TEXT GENESIS 26:17-22
[17]So Isaac went away from there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
[18]And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names by which his father had called them.
[19]Now Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living [spring] water.
[20]And the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he named the well Esek [contention] because they quarreled with him.
[21]Then [his servants] dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he named it Sitnah [enmity].
[22]And he moved away from there and dug another well, and for that one they did not quarrel. He named it Rehoboth [room], saying, For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Perseverance is the vision that fuels passion.
Nothing great has ever been achieved without perseverance.
What separates the successful and the failure is not the issue of luck or talent but the power to persevere.
Obstacles will always be there but they are only stepping stones to your manifestation.
Isaac had to dig his wells three times before his enemies gave up.
He frustrated them with his relentless spirit.
He weried them out and they gave up on him.
Many of the worlds failures never knew how close they were to success.
Proverbs 24v16, says that a just man faileth seven times and riseth up again.
Where you are is not your resting place, it's not your final destination.
Get ready to get back to work.
You are a spirit with power of all things that are created on earth.
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
