Text — Luke 18:1-8

Message

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up,” said Thomas Edison. For Edison, F.A.I.L. meant ”First Attempt in Learning.” Perseverance is the strong determination to continue in the face of difficulties, obstacles, or setbacks. Perseverance will make students defy all odds. Students exhibit perseverance when they feel exhausted but study through the night, keeping their eyes on the goal of achieving good grades. When faced with failure such students choose to face the challenge and try again, rather than give up.

Those who give up at the threshold of their breakthrough will never attain the desired success. Do not give! Do not quit. A little impetus will lead you to the path to victory. What makes or breaks people is how they react to difficulties and obstacles in life. Setbacks are often disguised opportunities. Make your obstacles stepping stones. Learn from past mistakes and failures and keep moving forward – you will prosper. Never let go; move forward! Refuse to give up on your studies or Christian life. You will surely win.
