ADD TO YOUR FAITH PERSISTENCE


'And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and virtue knowledge, and knowledge temperance; and to patience godliness;...' 2Peter 1:5-6

There is no great achievement that does not require time and persistence. Too many get hold of opportunity but let go of it too soon. Don B. Owen Jr said it well: Many people fail in life because they believe the adage that if you don't succeed, try something else. But success is not attained for those who follow such advice. You will be justified by what you finish not what you start. Impatience is costly. Most people fail simply because they can't see the end from the beginning. The beginning is always rough but the end is glorious. Paul writes 'For our light affliction, which is but a moment, worketh for us as far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2Corinthians 4:17)

The dreams that came true did so because people stuck to their ambitions. They refused to be discouraged, they never let disappointment get the upper hand. Challenges only spurred them on to greater efforts.

To Overcome Defeat Is Possible

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" (Philippians 4:13) This is a fact that you must never forget some people have overcome every conceivable difficult situation even the one in which you now find yourself and which to you seems utterly hopeless. So did it seem to some others, but they found an out, a way up, a path over, a pass through. I advise you not to take the attitude that you are in a situation in which nobody has ever been before. There is no such situation. Related Topic: Belief In Yourself   The first thing to do about an obstacle is simply to stand up to it and not complain about it. Don't go crawling through life on your hands and knees half-defeated. Stand up to your obstacle and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. You can do this when you have faith, faith in God, and faith in yourself. Faith supplies staying power. It contains dynamics to keep one going when the going is h...

Break Away From Consumer Mentality

"And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities." (Luke 19:17).  If you keep consuming everything without producing anything, you will have nothing to fall back on. Immediate gratification creates poverty or lack in the future. Short-term thinking and living for today is the bane of many individuals but long-term thinking will help you to imbibe a producer mentality. An investment mentality is a way of thinking that supports thoughts and behaviors directed at achieving wealth. It compels you to automatically think about, recognize and take advantage of wealth-building opportunities. It also drives you to structure your lifestyles to preserve and continue to grow the wealth you have created.
