26TH MARCH
PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT (63) LEARN TO RISE UP
TEXT: Micah 7:8, Proverbs 24:16
Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Anyone that want to experience personal advancement must learn to rise up and rise quickly when he fails or falls. Some fall or fail once and that becomes their end. That you fell or failed doesn't me that it is over for you. Children trying to walk falls and fails many time, but they succeed after many attempts. It is programmed in them not to quit until they succeed. They fall and then quickly rise. They don't beat themselves for falling or keep thinking about the fall, they just rise and try again.
I don't know how many times you have failed and fallen, rise up. Don't let where you fell become your resting place, rise up and give it your best shot in the Name of the Lord. Employ the grace of God which is always available to you. That you fell or failed doesn't make you a failure. You only become a failure when you refuse to rise and quit. That you are on the floor right now doesn't mean that you're in the grave. Don't bury that dream because you failed once or twice. If you believe God gave it to you, then don't give up.
A knock down is not a knock out. God has put so much in you, you can't afford to keep lying where you have fallen. Stop languishing, rise up, it will be different this time. You are going through a process, it is not over. Learn the lessons, rise up and move on. Your determination and experience will be a motivation for others coming behind you. You have to rise up today and begin to advance. It doesn't matter how many times you have failed or fallen, just rise again.
CONFESSION: I refuse to let my failure be my end. I will arise and begin to advance again.
