“Slaying The Giant Of Failure”

2 Corinthians 4:8-10

Failure is defined as lack of success; inadequacy: decline; loss; defeat; deficit.

There is no failure too big for God to forgive. We must learn from our failures and keep moving forward. Even though we fail, that doesn’t mean we’re failures. Accept failure as a fact of life, not a way of life. While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said. But he denied it. "I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about," he said, and went out into the entryway. When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, "This fellow is one of them." Again he denied it. After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean." He began to call down curses on himself, and he swore to them, "I don’t know this man you’re talking about. Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times." And he broke down and wept. Peter blew it and He knew it. (He went and spent the rest of his life as hermit, seclusion. Wrong!!! Two months later Peter preached one of the greatest sermons in Christianity and 3,000 people got saved. Don’t ever let someone call you a failure or a loser. You are not your resume. Failure is an event, not a person. It’s something you do, not something you become. Amen!!!

I come by this late evening to encourage someone and to let them know your failures are not your outcome. Pick yourself up and move forward, this is not your end but the beginning of your greatest in Jesus Christ. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
