YOU ARE TOO GOOD YOU CAN'T FAIL
No one was born and branded a failure. I admit we all started as failures (Romans 3:23) but because of God’s unconditional love for us He had a plan B; that is Jesus Christ who died for us that whoever believe in Him will no longer fall short of the salvation of God but will be a partaker.
When God created the universe He only spoke a word to create everything but when it came to creating man God called the first ever recorded conference, between Himself being God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit because He was creating another god. You are called to rule and to overcome. God did not call you to be a sorry face on the face of this earth. You are called to overcome! Failure is just an event but not you. When you fail it means that at least you have attempted to do something than to just sit back and do nothing. I have never seen anybody who was labeled failure on their forehead so that everybody could know. You should stand for yourself and not allow your past failures to determine your future.
When a baby makes its first efforts to walk - what happens? He stands up - then falls down. Does the baby then think – “I'm so embarrassed. I'll never do that again”. No. He tries it again; stands up, falls down, stands up, falls down and keeps on trying until he makes it. We can all walk, so we have probably all been through this and we made it; but somewhere along the line as we grow the ego and fear of other's opinions seems to get in the way. People start wanting to never make mistakes. The only way to do that is to do nothing. So they do nothing. But once we do nothing our purpose in life is no longer being fulfilled.
Thomas Eddison the man who invented a light bulb made many mistakes before he could make a bulb that worked. It is said that he made ten thousands mistakes. Someone said to him “How do you feel making ten thousand mistakes?” He replied “I didn't make any mistakes. I found out ten thousand ways that it would not work”. I know formal education says that when you make too many mistakes in school you are called a failure. There are no failures in this world but people who tried it and it did not work. In this world we have winners and learners.
Ephesians 2:10 says that: for we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. You are wired for good works; your failures are just a part of your transition. Do not give up because God has not given up on you. He has good plans about you; the Lord wants to see you prosper.
Many have died before they were born, many have died the day they were born, but here you are, still living and loved by God. This is a clear indication that you are marked for success not failure. Look yourself in the mirror and cheer up. Revisit that stubborn situation and address it, I have an assurance from the Lord specifically for you; you will conquer because you are too good to be a failure.
Thank you.
