Keep on Keeping on

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

“So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height; for the people had a mind to work”. Nehemiah 4:6.

We all know that a race is never won unless one finishes it. One never even starts a race unless one believes it can be done.

In order to begin and end an endeavor, it takes the right attitude and determination to finish what one starts.

The dictionary says “…persistent determination is the act of deciding definitely and firmly to a purpose, and keeping at it…” It is perseverance, patience, resolve, and tenacity.

Thomas Fuller (1608–61), an English preacher and author said "An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men."

The Bible records many great heroes who demonstrate the virtue of determination to accomplish the impossible. Joshua and Caleb, in Numbers 14, were the only two spies that were determined to take Canaan. God told Mary that she was going to have a child without meeting with any man; that was impossible!

In ALL of the success stories in the Bible and any in the world, not one was achieved without “dogged” determination. It is a virtue, a quality that sets suc-cessful men/women apart, that separates “great men from little men”.

When builders are opposed and ridiculed, when adversaries make their plots and plan their evils, remember that with prayer and determination, you will get your “WALLS” built and completed. Nehemiah did it.

You will do it. Nothing shall be impossible for you. Nothing shall stand in your way, in Jesus Name.

Halleluyah!
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
