The Power of Persistence

Have you ever felt like giving up on your dreams and desires because of the challenges and obstacles you've faced along the way? I understand that it can be difficult to keep pushing forward when it seems like the world is against you. But, there is a powerful lesson we can learn from a blind man in the Bible.

They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 

                                                      - Luke 18:37-39

In the passage above, the blind man heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, and he called out to Him, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Those who were leading the way rebuked him, telling him to be quiet. But, the man persisted, shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

This story serves as a lesson that we should never give up on calling out to God and speaking our desires and needs to Him. No matter what others may say or how circumstances may try to shut us down, we should persist in speaking the truth of our hearts. Our words have the power to shape our destiny, just as in the case of this blind man. And by continuing to call out to God, we open the door for Him to work in our lives.

It's essential to understand that when we pray and speak to God, we're not only talking to an audience of one. Our words have the power to move mountains and bring our deepest desires to life. So, don't let anyone or anything stop you from persistently speaking to God about the things that are important to you. Persistence is key when it comes to speaking our hearts to God. No matter how challenging life may seem, keep pushing forward and speaking your desires to Him. Trust that He hears you and is working in your life, and watch as He transforms your dreams into a beautiful reality.

Like the blind man in the story, you might be facing opposition or negative self-talk that's trying to hold you back from manifesting the will of God in your life. But just like him too,, you have the power to overcome the obstacles. The enemy may try to make you complain or curse yourself, but you have to remember that your words have the power to shape your reality. When you openly declare the will of God for your life, you're taking control of your destiny and shaping your future.

The Bible holds a profound message in Matthew 12:37, which states

 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." 

This verse emphasizes the significance of the words that come out of our mouths, and how they can either justify us or condemn us. Our words hold immense power, not just in shaping our own lives and fate but also in the lives of those around us. The Bible makes it clear that our words, not the words of others, determine our justification or condemnation. This means that we are accountable for the words that come out of our mouths, and we cannot hide behind what others say about us to justify whatever is happening in our lives.

As followers of Christ, we are protected from any negative words or curses that others may try to speak over us. However, if we allow those negative thoughts and words to penetrate our minds and hearts and start to believe and confess them, the curse will remain with us. This is why it is essential for us to guard our thoughts and words and choose to speak words of life and positivity instead.

Proverbs 26:2. says:

 "Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight."

This verse means that just as birds fly away and do not stay in one place, a curse that has no reason or cause will not have any lasting impact or effect. Do not give any curse a cause to stand against you.

LET US MAKE THE FOLLOWING CONFESSION:

I am a reflection of the living God and I am overflowing with the Holy Spirit. My life is continually growing and I am moving forward towards my divine purpose. I reject any false narratives from the devil and instead, I am firmly rooted in the truth of God's Word. This assurance makes me successful and a blessing to those around me. I am blessed with abundance and I am a valuable asset in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. I am a shining example of the transformative power of God's Word and I am proud to display Jesus to the world. I am filled with excitement and gratitude for my life and the gifts that come with it. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for making me who I am.
