How I know that victory will come to Israel from Zion, how happy the people of Israel will be when the LORD makes them prosperous again. Job 14:7
The moment Henry Ford’s class teacher declared his inability to cope and his poor performance in school; He considered him hopeless and good for nothing. But Ford’s mother rebuked the criticism and reinstated the hope of ability into the heart of his son. Today, ford car is a household name known all over the world.
When attempts, but fails, and all effort availeth not, then you ought to realize that, Failure is a phrase not a permanent state. A man that failed examination once and decided not to retake that examination is not only displaying foolishness, but a total failure. Failure is a teacher that shows you how not to fail again, as a result we should rekindle that zeal to try again. Genesis 29:26-27 says, Laban answered, “it is not the custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the elder. Wait until the week’s marriage celebrations are over, and I will give you Rachel, if you will work for me another seven years.
For Jacob to possess Rachel as wife He had to work for fourteen years, instead of seven. Don’t expect success without having needs to experience failure. However, I have come to realize that all our past and present failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understanding that had created the new level of living we will enjoy. A man once says; those who quit lack the ability to realize how close they already were to victory. The truth of the matter is; success is never far from those that try again and again, optimists don’t give up on themselves, regardless of the obstacle that prompt to obstruct. Thus, you have Christ at your side that is a sure guarantee of success. Dare not hesitate to take that step again and again
