Today I was sparked and inspired by a lovely sermon by one of our Pastors, Mason Naidoo. On Leaving a Legacy. One of the points in his sermon was about perseverance which I've focused on over the past week in Blog posts here.
"By Perseverance the Snail Eventually Reached the Ark" Charles Spurgeon.
One of the Legacies we can leave is the Legacy of "Refusing to Quit". We may be aware of a great destiny or purpose or calling that we need to fulfil with our lives. But what is the point of that if we quit? Many times, people give up hope, some even reach such a point of desperation they may be tempted to commit suicide (sadly some already did). But what if, with all the years of trying, and failing, what if they'd persisted and found their breakthrough just the next week? We should never give up. (Winston Churchill's famous words ring in my ears: "Never, never, never give up".)
Are you willing to let go of past disappointments, failures, pains, hopelessness? Isn't it time to re-write your Legacy in Life? Don't give up. Refusing to quit might be one of the greatest acts of Spiritual Warfare you have ever done.
