COURAGE: A FORCE OF DESTINY
There is a story about two good adventurous friends who embarked on a journey of discovery. They both wandered the desert which was enroute their destination. After much trekking under the scotching desert sun; they became very tired, thirsty and hungry. One said to the other; he was going back, he had lost the courage to go on. He was discouraged.
due to the fact that they’ve been unsuccessful throughout their journey. From a distance they had seen what seemed to be an oasis, but only to discover it was a mirage
After much plea from his partner to take courage perhaps the next mirage might turn out to be an oasis, which didn’t yield any positive response, they parted ways. The discouraged friend headed back home several miles from their current position. But his friend continued the journey with as little courage as to take the next step. Just five hundred meters from where they parted ways, he found a pool of water and beside it was the treasure they had been looking for in the past three days.
You may be faced with a hard situation and now contemplating a U-turn, just wait a minute, and take one more step forward.
This might just be the step that will usher you into the miracle you’ve hoped for. In the book of Exodus God asked Moses to tell the children of Israel to move forward in the face of the red sea. This is an act of courage. The four lepers in 2kings 6 moved into the camp of the enemy by an act of courage.
By courage Queen Esther entered the king’s chamber without invitation. Take that bold step and see the salvation of your God.
“Courage is what makes a man to try again and again after several failures.”- Kennedy Joseph Oshioma
“Courage is the ability to stand, fight, and conquer the rage of the enemy before you”- Kennedy Joseph Oshioma
You must resolve in your heart to protect your destiny, win your enemies and remain a champion. Our success in life is greatly dependent on our ability to stand against oppositions through the display of courage. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind. Joshua and Caleb withstood the intimidating report by an act of courage to possess their possession.
Always have the mind of a champion, because that’s who you are. Do not entertain excuses no matter what’s before you.
