If a friend of yours happens to be the son of your
biology teacher and few days before your biology exam, this guy comes with live
question paper, also called “expo”, and you both revise it together. In such a
case, only a daft person will fail that exam. Many of us are scared of taking
some steps because we don’t want to experience failure. Of a truth, failure
could be traumatic, as it affects one’s mind and entire being. You start feeling
unworthy and inferior. In the end, the fear of failure hinders many people from
fulfilling purpose because they are always afraid of doing what is needed.
However, for believers (not church goers but those
with strong faith in the power of the Almighty), failure is never an option.
When young David saw how Goliath was ridiculing the people of Israel and he
decided to go fight him, his elder brother must have called their father to
start preparing the burial rite for the “rude” and “proud” David (1 Sam 17:28).
When Saul the king heard of the new development, he told David plainly, “Thou
art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but
a youth, and he a man of war from his youth” (v.33).
David was so certain of victory such that no amount
of discouragement was enough to stop him. In the end he succeeded because he relied
solely on the power of God. (v. 46&47) No wonder the scripture says in Dan
11:32b that, “the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”
Others might be failing, but you are not permitted to fail because Jesus never
failed and can never fail and He said, “He that believeth on me, the works that
I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do” (John 14:12)
In order words, greater victories, greater miracles, greater exploits, super
achievements shall you record.
Enjoy!
