WHY FAILURE IS NOT A BAD THING IN ITSELF

We live in a world where people are afraid of failure. Nobody likes to fail. But you see, life was designed to accommodate this.

You fail a lot? Welcome to the club. You are not alone. In fact, you have some very good company. Almost without exception, those that have achieved the most, and are considered to be very successful, have also failed miserably.

I think it was Theodore Roosevelt who said, “The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.”

Permit me to submit at this point that sometimes, God must engineer failure in us before He can bring about success with us.

Failure as an event, stabilizes success.

Give people a chance to fail honorably; it helps them value results. Yes, the experience of failure makes you VALUE RESULT.

Challenges are the valid ways for God to be revealed to you. Your ignorance, passion, pain, mistakes are all features of your track record with God.

God, the realm of the spirit and people pay attention to your track record. You have to be probed and proven before committed a level of loyalty.

Part of establishing the track record will require that you go through the furnace of affliction. The goal of this season is to expose you to your frailty and increase your dependency on the Holy Spirit.

Your personal failures gives weight to your testimony.

It also produces humility in you. A man who has not failed before is usually a very proud man. It is this experience of failure that break your wings and put you in perspective.

Failures are useful tools for learning. Experience may not be the best teacher, but it TEACHES.

The mature believer seeks to use failures as lessons for growth and change.

Failure doesn't kill you. It increases your desire to make something happen. "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." -Winston Churchil.

Don't lose hope. When you are down to nothing, God is up to something.

So, I have made up my mind to value failure and make the best out of every situation. What about you?

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Rom. 8:37

Have a glorious Sunday.
