IF YOU DON'T RETIRE, THEY WILL BE TIRED. THEREFORE, KEEP MOVING

 

THE VOICE OF GOD DEVOTIONAL 

TOPIC: IF YOU DON'T RETIRE, THEY WILL BE TIRED. THEREFORE, KEEP MOVING. 

TEXT: Gen. 26 vs 18 and 19.

And  Isaac dug again the wells of water which they dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had filled it with sand after the death of Abraham.

And Isaac's servants dug another well in the valley and they found spring of water.

Gen. 26 vs 18 and 19.

Isaac lost everything after the death of Abraham but that never deterred him to try again. 

He was determined to breakthrough therefore, he kept on trying till he achieved his success. 

In Genesis 26 vs 18 the haters of good things closed the spring which Abraham dug for Isaac but in vs 19, Isaac dug another one and he found water even in the valley.

What does that mean?

Keep trying despite the challenges and failures on your way.

Keep moving in the midst of the road blocks till anything and anyone who wants you down are tired. 

Don't stop flying because of the storm in the sky.

You might have fallen to the ground, don't rest or sleep on that ground. 

Maybe you lost your business prowess and you have not been able to get on your feet, Don't quit trying. 

In life, there is no limitation to the one who sees mistakes, failure, setback and challenges as a grooming and learning process and not his end.

Many do but don't join them.

In our text, Isaac lost what his father gave him but he did not lose what he gave to himself. He found himself a well. 

The Philistine  took what was given to him but he dug himself wells till his enemies got tired of striving with him.

Hear me, those striving with you will be tired of you.

In that place where they think you will hide, be bold and loud.

When they say you should be kneeling and crying, be running and laughing. 

In other words frustrate any situation that wants you frustrated.

Listen, once you don't quit your enemies will be the ones to  quit and if you don't retire they will  retire. 

That means keep trying. 

Know this, life offers no good to quitters

Therefore, don't quit. 

Isaac though he lost all his father gave him including the wells but in Genesis 26 vs 12,

he tried again and sowed in the same land and the word tells us that he got a hundred percent increase of his labor. 

Child of God, go back to that place where you were rejected and ridiculed and you will be honoured. Say Amen . 

Thus says the Lord, in the midst of all you have gone through, try again. 

Again and again till they are tired of you then  your testimony will come.

CONFESSION:

I do not give up or give hid to any seeming challenge because my life is programmed for success and not failure. 

I don't lose battles because I was born a winner. Amen.

Don't treat that challenge like a child's play.
