GRIT MINDSET
(Proverbs 24:15-16)
Grit is not about how smart or talented you are; it is about never giving up on yourself.

The people who succeed in life are not necessarily those who are multi-talented, but those who have developed a grit mindset.

Gritty people have a greater possibility of succeeding because they refuse to give up when things become difficult.

Success in life, ministry, marriage, business, and every other venture is often connected to grit. Gritty people may fall, but they rise again. They keep moving forward and refuse to give up until they achieve what they desire.

No matter what you are pursuing in life—whether it is passing a difficult examination, mastering a new language, building a career, succeeding in ministry, or achieving a personal goal—grit is a primary determinant of success.

We all have goals, dreams, and aspirations. However, many people fail to realize their dreams when things become difficult. They quit or retreat, and this often leaves them with disappointment and agony.

THE POWER OF GRIT
Grit builds the necessary drive and determination to remain focused and achieve your goals, no matter how difficult the journey becomes.

Grit is essential for personal growth because it helps you become resilient and persevere in the face of adversity.

Grit enables you to confidently tackle significant challenges and thoughtfully work out solutions to complex problems in life.

It gives you a never-give-up attitude and a commitment to keep going despite obstacles and difficulties.

When there is grit, difficulty does not become the end of the journey.

GOD'S PROMISE AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
The promise of Scripture is also a promise of growth and development.

However, you must have a part to play in fulfilling the promises of God.

There are things we have prayed about that God is waiting for us to work out.

The greatest work of God is not merely to give us things; it is to develop us.

God created individuals and gave them free will—the power to make choices. However, the free will of man can also become the trouble of man when it is used wrongly.

If you want progress, do not remain small.

As you progress in life, your progress may become a threat to others. Nevertheless, God wants you to grow.

GOD WANTS US TO GROW.
God wants you to grow to the level where you understand how the world works and how to navigate through it.

God wants you to develop to a point where:
- You can see a problem and understand it.
- You can identify solutions to problems.
- You can anticipate problems before they happen.
- You can negotiate your way through difficult situations.
- You can find ways to turn challenges into opportunities.

Growth gives you the capacity to handle greater responsibilities and solve greater problems.

Every success is a problem solved.

The greater your capacity to solve problems, the greater your ability to create value and make an impact.

KEY LESSON
Do not allow difficulties to make you give up on your dreams.

You may fall, but rise again.

You may fail, but learn and try again.

You may face obstacles, but keep moving.

You may encounter difficult situations, but develop yourself enough to find a way through them.

Grit is the determination to keep going when giving up seems easier.

🙏 PRAYER POINT.
“O Lord, let my heart be changed positively.”

Lord, develop me, strengthen me, and give me the grace to remain focused and resilient in the face of difficulties. Help me not to give up on myself or the dreams and purposes You have placed in my heart. Amen.

Topic: A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART
Text: PSALM 32:1-5

VERSE OF THE DAY:
_"THE SACRIFICES OF GOD ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT, A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART—THESE, O GOD, YOU WILL NOT DESPISE"- PSALM 51:17._

When King David recognised the enormity of his sin with Bathsheba and his attempted cover-up that ended with her husband’s death, he cried out to God in deep repentance. Psalm 51 records his heartfelt prayers and what he had learned about how God wants to be approached. God highly values those who are contrite. The Bible says in Isaiah 66:2 For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist,’ says the LORD. ‘But on this one will I look: on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word’” (Isaiah 66:2). The Good News Translation puts Isaiah 66:2 this way, “I myself created the whole universe! I am pleased with those who are humble and repentant, who fear me and obey me.”

God loves us and wants us to change from following the way that leads to death, and instead to follow the Bible and its beneficial laws that lead to life. God wants us to have a humble spirit that is willing to change, as well as to have a reverence and love of His Word, which reveals the essence of truth (John 17:17). God wants us to have a contrite heart. In contrast, notice the kinds of hearts God is not happy with: A hard heart. Start with the Pharaoh who enslaved the Israelites and would not let God’s people go. Exodus tells us six times that Pharaoh had a “hard” heart. Even in the face of evidence of God’s great power through the 10 plagues, again and again Pharaoh’s “heart grew hard” Exodus 7:13. A stony heart. Ezekiel tells us that God wants to remove our stony hearts (Ezekiel 11:19). A heart that’s lifted. Moses warned of the dangers we can face when we have been blessed materially. He explained that it becomes easy to forget that blessings come from God and to believe we have achieved success through our own efforts and righteousness (Deuteronomy 8:11-14, 17).

God said in Deuteronomy 5:29, “Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!” That change of heart starts with repentance. God leads us to humbly repent with a broken, contrite, crushed and bruised heart. We recognise our brokenness and inability to fix ourselves. We see our sins and the filth they produce in our hearts. Then we can pray, as David did, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).

God’s gift of forgiveness and of the Holy Spirit, cleaning our hearts, begins the process of changing us spiritually. As God said in Ezekiel, then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19). Our hard and stony hearts must be replaced by a broken contrite heart so God can create in us the clean, pure, healthy heart that is wholly devoted to God. He wants to write His beneficial laws on our hearts (Hebrews 8:10).

PRAYER: Dear Lord, take away a stony heart from me, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Topic: LESSONS TO LEARN FROM JUDAS AND PETER
Text: MATTHEW 26:49-50; MATTHEW 26:69-75.

VERSE OF THE DAY:
_"IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS"- 1 JOHN 1:9._

Everyone sins, but what we do afterwards is vitally important. Consider what these first-century men continue to teach us today about sin and repentance. Perhaps it was a combination of Judas’ greed and Satan’s influence that led Judas to betray Jesus. Judas went to the chief priests and, for 30 pieces of silver, agreed to identify Jesus so He could be arrested away from the crowds (Matthew 26:14-15; Luke 22:3-6).

Leaving Jesus and the other disciples on the evening of Jesus’ final Passover, Judas finalised the details of his betrayal. Peter’s rejection of Jesus was different from Judas’ betrayal. Peter went to the high priest’s palace to observe what was happening to Jesus, and when he was accused of being one of Jesus’ disciples, he vehemently denied the claim three times (Mark 14:66-71). Following the third accusation, Peter “began to curse and swear, ‘I do not know this Man of whom you speak!’” (verse 71). Just a short time earlier Peter had boasted to Jesus that he would never “stumble” (Matthew 26:33). He said he was ready to go with Christ “both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). Jesus had then told Peter that he would deny Him three times before the rooster would crow twice (verse 34; Mark 14:30). After Peter’s denials, he remembered Jesus’ accurate prediction. Peter left the scene and “wept bitterly” (Mark 14:72; Luke 22:61-62).

From the results, we can see that Peter’s was godly sorrow that led to repentance.
Both Judas and Peter were filled with remorse for what they had done. But after their sins, they had very different responses. Judas hanged himself, while Peter, along with the other apostles, boldly helped establish the New Testament Church. It seems evident that Peter recalled that Jesus’ ministry involved calling sinners to repentance (Matthew 9:13; Mark 1:14-15). Having just repented of his own sin of denying Christ and having received the Holy Spirit, he was able to boldly advise believers on the Day of Pentecost that they, too, needed to repent of their sins and be baptised (Acts 2:38).

In addition to being sorry for our sins, there is also another important element connected with repentance. This is the understanding and belief that God can and does forgive our sins when we truly repent (Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9). After feeling remorse for our sins and repenting of having committed them, we also need to have faith that our sins have truly been forgiven. And then we need to move forward, changing and living our lives as God desires.

In an earlier discussion with Peter, Jesus had said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren” (Luke 22:31-32, emphasis added). The record shows that Peter’s faith did not fail. After he repented of His denial of Christ, He fulfilled the ministry to which he had been called.

May we all likewise repent of our sins, change and move forward with faith that we have indeed been forgiven!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, give us the right attitude to repentance, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
