“And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.” (1 Samuel 17:32-37 KJV)
Today, we shall discuss the second secret to success; the key of ignoring the nay sayers. [Read first secret; ‘Find and Follow Your Vision‘ at highcity.org/follow-vision ]
Whenever you share your vision and true passion, there will be people who will think it is not possible, and that you cannot realise that vision.
Many years ago an enemy rose against the people of God. This enemy was Goliath of the philistines. He defied the armies of the Lord and dared them for 40 days. He stood up and challenged the people of God for days, until one morning when a man who had prepared himself for the challenge showed up.
Most often than not, people will tell you your vision is not possible because they are not the once who saw the vision. If you really believe that you saw the right vision, and that it is a vision from God, then you must pursue it. Ignore those who say it is not possible and continue to work hard at it.
David was sure it was possible because he had prepared himself. All things are possible to him that believe. It is possible if you can believe and work yourself out for it. The first step however is to believe that it is possible. It is your vision, so you must believe in it first and be willing to invest yourself in it.
People may say no and even try to discourage you but you must believe in your own dream before you can get others to believe in it. Others may think your vision is not possible; but if it is godly and you are ready to work towards it, then ignore the nay sayers! Somethings are impossible with men but with God all things are possible. Sometimes those who shut the door in your face were planted in your path just to test your faith. You will win and not fail; believe and work hard by grace.
Stay blessed, I love you.
Today’s prayer
Dear Father
Give me the grace to work and work harder above all my contemporaries. Save me from the spirits of failure and poverty. As I exert strength, may I recieve grace and results to achieve all that You have put in my heart. Thank You Father.
Amen!
