To achieve anything in this life that is lasting requires persistence.
The "get go" even when all others have given up comes from God, ask him for grace strength and encouragement that you need. That is what FAITH does you continue moving forward until you hit success, which is getting into the vision that God ordained for you.
We live in a "microwave" age where individuals want everything quickly. They want God to move in their timing and not his.
I have now learned the wisdom of waiting on God’s timing.
I have digressed a bit but persistence is required if one is going to step into greatness and it involves waiting too, it mat not be easy and sometimes the journey can be full of challenges. It has been said the bigger the vision, the greater the challenges.
There are many Christian greats who persisted against all odds into success.
Let me name one in particular - the KFC man, Colonel Sanders, here is a bit of his lifestory -
At age 40 that he began selling chicken dishes in a service station. As he began to advertise his food, an argument with a competitor resulted in a deadly shootout. Four years later, he bought a motel which burned to the ground along with his restaurant. Yet this determined man rebuilt and ran a new motel until World War II forced him to close it down.
Following the war, he tried to franchise his restaurant. His recipe was rejected 1,009 times before anyone accepted it. Sander's "secret recipe" was coined "Kentucky Fried Chicken", and quickly became a hit. However, the booming restaurant was crippled when an interstate opened nearby so Sanders sold it and pursued his dream of spreading KFC franchises & hiring workers all across the country.
He was an avid Christian and gave into many ministries.
Can you tell why he is one of my favourites?
I am persisting with my own food business "Cuisinease", one day I believe I will have worldwide franchises.
My friends, whatever you have to accomplish may look impossible - keep going, don't quit. When God says it, he doesn't tell you the timing or the challenges but he promises proportionate rewards for your waiting and for the challenge
Don't quit
Keep going
"You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you"
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
My friends
