THE MAKER’S MAP [By FBI- First Baba Isa] Tuesday, 28th January, 2014. HOLD THE LINE! STAY WITH ME! VICTORY IS A MINUTE AWAY! “And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.” -- 2 Kings 13:19 Lord Wellington, after the great victory won over Napoleon at Waterloo, said, “Our men were not braver than the enemy; they were braver five minutes longer.” Keep on keeping on! Five minutes may be the difference between your present state and victory. Don’t allow circumstances and past failures make you feel sorry for yourself. Face today and make tomorrow great. When his communist captors released Major General William F. Dean, a journalist asked what kept him during his three years of misery. “I never felt sorry for myself”, the General replied, “and that’s what conquered it!” Cabin Coolidge said, “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved, and always will, the problems of the human race.” God is looking for men who cannot give up in the face of difficulties. Blessed be the man whom God will find worthy, for he will be entrusted with fame, prosperity, and wisdom. Know today, that “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” -- Margaret Thatcher. “Quit now, and you’ll never make it. If you disregard this advice you are half-way there.” -- David Sucker. LET’S PRAY: O God, you know how so many times I want to give up, pack up, and just lock up! Help me, O Lord, to stay the course. Infuse me with the finishing-grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. SUCCESS ACTIVITY: Write down three areas you feel like giving up right now, and decide to stay on. CONFESSION: I am winning in a majestic style!
