TOPIC : THE FORCE OF A DETERMINED HUMAN SPIRIT

TEXT    LUKE 16 :16

[16]The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

In this world it takes pressure for anything to change it's natural state.

Everything will remain in the same state until pressure is applied.

Determination is the application of perseverance.

Perseverance is the only way to preserve your place in the front.

Those who were lazy yesterday have been laid off today.

Life is a dynamic adventure, where you stop pressing is where things stop working for you.

Beloved, press very hard to avoid hardship.

Refuse to seek the easy life, it is the burial ground for giants.

Determine to reach your goals, determination is required to take your place in this world.

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)

TEXT    EPHESIANS 6 : 12-13

[12]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[13]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The cure for resistance is persistence.

Persistence is a character trait that even Jesus Christ our Lord honored.

Jesus told us a story from the book of Luke 18:2-5 and He said "Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

[3]And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

[4]And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

[5]Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me".

Beloved, you are the only one who can decide that the game is over and that you are the loser.

I know that you can still make it if you refuse to give up.

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

Life is a battlefield, not a playground.

It takes a Fighting spirit to make the most of life.

It takes a fight for the airplane to take off from the ground. This same airplane must overcome friction to take off.

Before flight can happen, thrust must overcome drag and lift must overcome gravity.

This is how life is, if you do not break down the walls of opposition, they will choke your destiny.

In the book of  1 Corinthians 16 :9 the

 Bible said,

"For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries".

Beloved, be determined not to give up or throw in the towel, you may not know how close you are to your breakthrough.

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.

TOPIC : THE FORCE OF A DETERMINED HUMAN SPIRIT

TEXT    HEBREWS 12 : 2

[2]Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Jesus did not allow his temporary challenges to becloud His long term vision.

Do not allow your short term failures affect your long-term goals.

Thomas Edison the inventor of the light bulb and one thousand and ninety-one other revolutionary inventions persisted through so many failures but was determined, he never gave up on his dreams.

Determination is what separates the failures from the successful.

Obstacles are not signs of failures but are stepping stones for our miracles.

Proverbs 24:16 said that a just man falls seven times and rises again.

Beloved, rise from where you have fallen and keep on moving.

You are not a failure because of a fall.

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

TEXT   GENESIS 32 :24 - 28

[24]And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

[25]And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

[26]And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

[27]And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

[28]And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

If you look at the story of Jacob, you will see that determination can change an individual into a nation.

You can be talented and intelligent but without  determination, you may never reach the top.

Until you make up your mind never to quit, you may never capture success.

A wise man said that many of the world great failures did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.

Never forget this, Every opposition is contesting for your position, refuse to give up.

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

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

TOPIC : DESTROYING THE SPIRIT OF FRUSTRATION

TEXT  2 KINGS 6 : 25-30

[25]And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

[26]And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

[27]And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

[28]And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

[29]So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

[30]And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

I enjoyed watching " The rich also cry" a television series while growing up.

Shockingly, your status does not give you an immunity from frustration.

The king of Samaria was so frustrated that he tore his clothes and poured aches upon his head.

His royalty was reduced to a near lunatic level.

Frustration is an evil spirit, it has made many mad.

When the prophet came with a word, the siege was brought to an end.

I decree in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who sits on the throne of Heaven, your frustrations are over.

Type a big Amen.

Enjoy a miracle service today in Jesus mighty name.

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.
