Faith is persistence; if someone embarks on a race and soon gives up, that is the extent his faith can carry him. In God, you cannot do without faith. Your destiny must not be thrown into a trash can. That is why you cannot afford to just give up this race of life. You must win. Sometimes God is not moved by how long but how firm you have decided to stand to the end.
Just as we read about Abraham today, God’s word refers to him as a man who through faith and patience inherited the promise. Though it was taking time he did not allow the situation to affect his faith. He knew that in the twinkling of an eye, God was able to fulfill His promises. He also knew God was only testing his ability to persist (Deuteronomy 8:2, 3, 13).
Decide to provoke God’s hand with your persistence. Make your conclusion based on the faithfulness of God. Staggered not (Romans 4:20). Patiently wait and your case will become a miracle. Men shall share your testimony everywhere and everyone that hears it shall laugh with you (Genesis 21:6). Peace.
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to keep my faith to the end.
“IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO
CAN PERSIST THAT WILL PREVAIL”
