Do not give up(October 26)

Do not give up

"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 3:14.   Persistence, determination, and tenacity are the marks of overcomers, conquerors, inventors, great musicians, athletes, scientists, artist, leaders, and chief executives.  Abraham Lincoln said, "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."    To have a great family you have to have to be persistent and determined to maintain loyalty, integrity, honor, respect, love, and forgiveness.  To succeed at work, you have to be persistent to overcome misunderstandings, discouragement, tiredness, and jealousy.  To have a great business you have to be persistent to overcome loss, treachery, and even bankruptcy.    Opportunities come to all but how we deal with trials, obstacle, and failures separate the average from the achievers.  It is not talent that makes one successful - it is tenacity.  Jesus said to His disciples as He warned them of future persecution and distress: "but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." Matthew 24:13.    Thomas Edison was a great inventor in his time but he had to overcome school expulsion, deafness at an early age, scarlet fever, poverty, and nevertheless became a successful entrepreneur who found over 14 companies, one of which 'General Electric' is still one of the mega companies today.    Do not give up, give in, or give over your dream until you succeed.  Failure is never final until you say so.  You can create and rule your new world with the help of God.   Kingdom Declaration: I am a champion, an overcomer, and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. @Dr Pat Francis +Chayil Women International  @chayil$
