One of the unbeatable strengths of life is determination. The reason most people fail in life is because their level of determination is very low. When a man is determined to do something, all other things would be in support of his efforts till he succeeds. It is determination that makes a man run a race without feeling the pain.
The man we read about today was simply demonstrating determination. And this led him to achieve his goal. He puts aside his status and shame and climb a delicate tree just because he wanted to see Jesus. And when Jesus got to the place, this man’s determination, produced by faith, attracted the attention of Jesus. And that was the day salvation entered his house.Friend, all you need is to possess genuine determination, and your achievement shall be made easy. To have genuine determination, you need to analyse your goal and understand how vital it is to your life and destiny. If the goal is not very important to you, then your determination may be weak. Make a decision today in your heart to make it no matter what. As you take a strong decision, every part of your system will start to work together. You will be so determined that you will not mind the shame or the difficulties. At such point, you are higher than obstacles and can no longer fail. If you can always come to this level of determination, your shame shall be turned to honor. Then, you will achieve your success without knowing the pain. Then you will be able to break all barriers and limitations. Listen, God has created this in you naturally. You only need to convince yourself of the importance of your goal and go for it. You will come back singing.
Ask: Lord, release your strength in me for achievement.
“WHEN YOU HAVE A GENUINE DETERMINATION, YOUR GOAL IS AS GOOD AS ALREADY BEEN ACHIEVED”
