DON’T GIVE UP!
Proverbs 24:16 – For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. (KJV)
Read: Proverbs 24:10
There was a man whom no one, including his mother, expected anything good from. This is because he was born in sorrow and given a contrary name, Jabez. However, records show that this man refused to dismiss himself but cried out to God, and his story changed (1 Chronicles 4:9–10). Similarly, an impotent man had been at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years because he had no man to assist him. Yet he never gave up! One day, the man encountered Jesus, and that settled his case (John 5:1–9). I believe God for you this day that your situation is turning around, in Jesus’ name.
What is your story or limitation? People often cite coming from a poor background and a lack of connection as reasons for not getting jobs. Some might have tasted several relationships, fasted, and prayed, all to no avail, and are still single. There may also be someone who is contemplating suicide. I beseech you to stop it and don’t give up! Instead, look beyond the present.
Beloved, if Jabez could fulfil his destiny and the man at Bethesda could have a new beginning, God could breathe on you to transform your story too. Therefore, keep going and believing. There will be light at the end of your tunnel, and you will rise again, as today’s Bible reading admonishes. Above all, Jesus is calling you to repentance if you have not surrendered your life to Him. I encourage you to give your all to Christ. He will strengthen your faith and actualise your dreams.
