Brothers, it's another beautiful morning and we look forward to the blessings of the new week. May the blessings of Almighty God reach our families and our country this week in the name of Jesus.
Today, we are examining areas in which we have been waiting for everything, but where these dreams have not materialized.
For some, it is companies that have failed to generate the desired benefits. therefore, the owner is struggling to survive. It could also lead to debt, inability to pay staff or even to pay rent, let alone meet the needs of everyone.
We also have parents who worry about school weaknesses of one or two of their children that have led to failure. No parent will be happy if a child is not a school success.
For a couple married for years without biological children, society begins to consider them unsuccessful. Some even consider that their marriage has failed.
Even for the single woman who is successful in her career and is well established, able to meet her needs and those of others, people see her as a failure because she remains single.
We can go on and on.
Failure, as success manifests itself in different ways. The difference is that success attracts people to you, but that it keeps them away from you except when they want to take advantage of your situation.
Brothers, children of God, what people see in our lives as a failure are just challenges that we can overcome.
How can I know? That's because Mark 9 versus 23 tells me, "Jesus told him, if you can believe, anything is possible for him who believes." We are further strengthened by the word of God according to the words of the prophet Isaiah 40 vs. 31 "But those who rely on the Lord will renew their strength; they will go up with wings like eagles; they will run without getting tired; and they will walk and not falter. "
The key word for us here is not weak, which simply means, do not be tired and do not give up.
Our Lord Jesus explained Luke 18: 1. "And he tells them a parable to this end, that men should always pray and not faint."
Brothers, when your strength is renewed, you can not be tired, when you have hope, you do not stop praying.
Pastor J.T. Kalejaye, of the Christian Church of God redeemed in one of his sermons, said, "If you put everything in his hand, you will see his hands in everything you do."
Peter, the most remarkable of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, was once a failed business man, but when God intervened, his fate changed. He has "caught" men. Many followed him to have faith even in his shadow. It is not Peter's efforts, but the result of divine intervention.

According to Luc 5 vs. 1-10, Jesus met Simon Peter and his fellow fishermen at rest and asked him to let him use their boats. As the boats were empty, they were forced.
All that makes you feel empty, within this time, they will intervene Lord and you will be filled in the name of Jesus. Verses 4 and 5 revealed the conversation that changed Peter's life and destiny.
"After leaving the conversation, he said to Simon: Go to the depths and let go of your nets.
Brothers, if someone tells you and me, I'm sure we'd say, what does he say? How can someone who is not a fisherman learn my work?
Peter spoke as we did "And Simon, answering, said to him, Master, we have worked all night without taking anything, yet on your word I will cast the net."
We could see that even Peter had some degree of doubt. Otherwise, he could simply have obeyed, but he first spoke of his unsuccessful efforts sooner. Many of us presented with a similar situation, are not likely to obey.
What happened next? Verse 6 tells us: "When they did that, they locked up a multitude of fish: and their brake net."
The catch was such that the net could not hold it.
In what area of life have you had unsuccessful efforts, get ready for an overflow, but you must first ask for divine intervention.
Many of our efforts fail because we do not take into account God's factor in our human calculations. While the truth is that no good thing ever succeeds without the touch of God.
What do you say about a man who goes to some ritualists to make him charms to enrich him. In one way or another, he became rich, but in a short time he became patient with a terminal illness accompanied by intense pain. While he was in pain, he began to confess. He had the "riches" of the devil but had to pay with his life. He does not just pay with his life, many of his children are drugged and the wives abandon him because they can not continue to take care of him. As he was pbading through mortal illness, the devil began to take back "riches".
He was exhausted financially.
No wonder the Holy Bible tells us in Matthew 16-26: "What good is a man if he wins the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what would a man give in exchange for his soul?
The man we talked about exchanged his soul for diabolical riches, because he could not wait for the Lord. As Christians, we must remember that we must believe, obey and blessings will follow. What is your attitude towards prayer? Are you just praying and saying Amen because someone is leading? Is your Amen a confirmation that you believe and that you are in expectation? Ask yourself these questions and answer honestly.
Proverbs 8 vs. 32-36 "Now, listen to me, children, for those who keep my ways are blessed. Listen to the instructions, be wise and refuse him. Happy man who hears me, who looks at my doors every day and who is waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoever finds me will find life, and will obtain the favor of the Lord. But whoever sins against me is wrong with his soul: all those who hate me love death. "
Brothers and sisters, did you receive the message? It's just patience, obedience and blessings. Are you ready to be patient and prayerful or choose the shortcut? The shortcut offers quick "relief", but the end is sorrow and pain. But with prayer, patience, and obedience, we receive the favor of the Lord and the result is eternal joy. Brothers, it's time to say goodbye to failure. Start decreeing the failure of your life and decree success in your life.
In the name of Jesus in all areas of life where people have described you as failures, the Lord will intervene and you will celebrate and be celebrated.
May God bless us and bless our country in the name of Jesus.
Go out and enjoy the peace of the Lord.
