“Tip of The Iceberg”
Wednesday, October 16, 2024Key Verse
“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.” Proverbs 10:4
Text — Proverbs 10:3-6
Message
The tip of the iceberg is on idiomatic expression. An iceberg is a large piece of ice that gets broken off from ice shelf (glaciers) and floats in open water. Only the tip of the iceberg (a small portion) which is about one eight of its actual size is seen above the water surface. The major part is hidden beneath the surface. Without the lower (hidden) part, there cannot be the upper part which is seen.
Success in examinations and in life is like the tip of an iceberg that is seen and loved. Just like the bigger part of the iceberg under the water is not seen, what makes the success possible is the discipline, persistence, hard work, without these things, success would not have been possible.
Many children desire success but only few are willing to do what it takes to succeed. Success has been provided for every child of God. Avoid distraction when you are being taught in the class, do not dislike any subject or teacher, do your assignment, ask questions from your teachers when necessary and claim God’s promises for your success. You will succeed in Jesus Name.
