... 5 TIPS TO MANAGE FAILURE ...
Someone somewhere has certainly had to face failure in one area of his ife or another. If you look closely at the giants' life, you will realize that they have had somehow to face failure.
Except Christ, who is the holy and sinless God, everyone from Adam to the last saint today had in one way or in another tasted the bitter cup of failure.
By carefully studying the life of the giants in the Bible, I came to draw the following few tips that I believe will help someone to manage failure and turn it into a victory.
• Tip 1: Do not limit yourself to only notice failure, but recover and rise after failure.
Failure is not primarily about getting a negative result, but rather it is about displaying negative attitudes people diplay in the midst of negative situations.
Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Proverbs 24:16 For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
· Tip 2 Do not think that things will always happen the way you want to happen.
The reason why many are crushed is because they imagine that things will always happen as they had planned. Which is not always true.
Be flexible to continually adjust yourself by submitting to God's perfect plan for you and engaging in spiritual warfare against evil forces .
· Tip 3 : Do not identify yourself with failure, but identify the causes of failure and then set new ground for new victories in the future.
It's true that you failed, but it's not true that you're a failure.
After having failed against the city of Ai. Joshua went to God's presence to identify the causes of his failure. God revealed it to him saying, ""( Joshua 7:11 )
When they got rid of the cause of the failure, they went to war again and they won (Read Joshua 6-7 )
· Tip 4 : Do not make yesterday's failure a reason to be afraid to try again today.
Peter had been working all night without success, but when the Lord instructed him, "Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." ( Luke 5: 4), Peter replied, "Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net."( Luke 5: 5 ). When they threw the net, they took a large quantity of fish so that their nets were almost breaking. They filled the two boats with so many fish that they sank in the water.
· Tip 5 : Do not let failure poison you and imprison you, but keep the doors of your mind open to any possibility of new victories because "all things are possible to him who believes".
Do not allow failure to blacken the clarity and beauty of your future, but overcome it with the light of faith and Hope in Jesus Christ, the guarantor of a bright tomorrow.
Ecclesiastes 9:4 "For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
