📖 "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

The fact is, everyone experiences failure in life. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. We all have setbacks and losses, and sometimes a defeat can seem to overwhelm you. On occasion we bring defeat on ourselves, but more often it is thrust upon us. Our brother Job felt overwhelmed. Look at Job 17:11 where he says, my days are past, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart ❤️. Have you ever felt like that? - "Man, I have been left behind!" You may be saying, "But pastor, I don't need this message!" Well, let me tell you something - you had better take note, because someday you will need this message, because everybody experiences defeats in life. So, take it down now, and use it as preventive medicine 💊! The fact is - you will fail many times in life, but you are never a failure until you give up. Every success is built on failure. You will never be conquered by failure in Jesus Name 🙏!

When God said "I will do a new thing", it means: to start all over. It's never too late to start over! There are five possible reasons for failure:

1 🔷. We fail when we don't plan ahead: You remember the old saying, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail". You have got to plan ahead. Look what Proverbs 27:12 says, A sensible man watches for problems ahead and prepares to meet them. The simpleton never looks and suffers the consequences.

2 🔷. We fail when we think we have arrived: Proverbs 16:18. First pride, then the crash - the bigger the ego, the harder the fall. We fail when we think we have it all together. You see, you are never going to get anywhere if you think you are already there.

3 🔷. We fail when we are afraid to take risks: Proverbs 29:25. Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety. It means that the moment you start worrying about what other people think, you are doomed.

4 🔷. We fail because we give up too soon: You see, the trouble with many people is that during trying times they just stop trying. You remember Dr. Robert Schuller's dictum, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".

5 🔷. Above all, the reason we fail is because we don't listen to God. Proverbs 14:12. There's a way of life that looks harmless enough; look again - it leads straight to hell. May God grant you🫵 grace today to hear and obey God's voice in your daily activities in Jesus Name 🙏!

Failing is part of life's process. It's only regrettable when you fail and refuse to get up. You can have a fresh start today by accepting responsibility for your own failure. Look at Proverbs 28:13. A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance. Some people need to start afresh to succeed because what they are currently doing now is not supported by God. God cannot bless what He is against. I decree and declare unto you🫵 today a release of God-given ideas from above for your daily activities in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏.

Say it loud 📢 and clear: I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
