"In the world you shall face tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world." This is one of Christ’s parting statements to his disciples before ascending to heaven. The world is full of challenges, but we have an inbuilt mechanism to withstand all that the world would present to our faces. We must know that we are not alone in this journey, and that our victory is sure.
Courage simply means bravery. It is the ability to withstand any form of opposition with the belief of winning. It is acting on ones convictions despite stiff oppositions. It is taking a step of boldness in the face of fear. It is an invaluable virtue necessary in obtaining good report.
“Cowards they say die ten times before their death”“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the test point.”-C.S. Lewis
Every man is born to be tested by time. It is your courage that puts you ahead when others are retreating. With courage you can take the word of God for your life and fulfill your destiny in the face of fierce adversity.
“Courage can’t see around corners, but goes around them anyway.”- Mignon McLaughin
I have been faced with so many difficult situations in life, but through courage I surmounted even the biggest oppositions.
A man on his way to fulfill destiny does not dwell in the land of uncertainty.” He rather sees the pathway to success through the eyes of courage. Your destiny is all you’ve got, so stand your ground. The things that present themselves as impossible situations are mere mirages.
“Resist the devil and he shall flee."
Deut. 31:6-8, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor .forsake thee…" Always stay courageous in the face of adversities. No matter how big they seem, there is a power in you that can conquer them. Let courage lead you into the battle field. Don’t let the enemy get to you with his old aged weapon or rather trick; which is fear.
The truth is that; fear cannot withstand courage; which is a tool of faith.The bible says in Proverbs 24:10 “if you faint in the days of adversity, your strength is small.
“Sometimes the biggest act of courage is a small one.”- Lauren Raffo
