Have any Failures?

If you hope to succeed, learn everything you can from your failures.

Everybody fails.
It’s part of the process that leads us to maturity and success. Most successful entrepreneurs have been through a number of failures in life, but they usually don’t think of their failures as defeats.
**** Think of Failures as lessons.*****

My failures have served to help people who are also experiencing failure in their lives. God will always have a redeeming value in our failures if we let Him reveal His life through them.

Matthew 7:1 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults-unless, of course, you want the same treatment.

God doesn’t throw us away because of a failure— God heals us!
We are sometimes left with scars from hurt and failures but when we are healed there is no pain!!
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
*We should never wrestle with something that God told us to release.
Repent of the failure and let it GO!
*You can be damaged and still be blessed!!
*Whatever you focus on will expand and grow in your life!
*How you see a person is how you will treat them. how you see yourself is how you will conduct yourself!!!

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather,serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13
*Freedom is given so I can serve. Okay, Lord, so where do you want to free me so I can serve?
Remember how you see yourself is how you will conduct yourself!!!

If you hope to succeed, learn everything you can from your failures.
James 1: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
God is sovereign:
* God wants to use the trials/failures that have come your way to mold you into the person He wants you to be.
* God wants us to know that trials/Failures serve a positive constructive purpose in our lives.
*Trials/failures are meant to define your faith not harm your faith.
* Trials/failures help reveal the depth and genuine-ss of your commitment to God.

*God calls us mighty, even as we are hiding out.
* God calls us powerful, even as our forces dwindle.
* God calls us wealthy, even as we are fretting about finances.
*** God majors in the impossible. He can overpower terrible odds because He’s free to shine His light on our situation.
Luke 6:37 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults-unless, of course, you want the same treatment.
*Stop judging and evaluating yourself, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both.
*Our actions speak what is in our heart.

Matthew 7:13 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easy going formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do.

Galations 3:10 And that means that anyone who tries to live by his OWN effort, independent of God, is doomed to failure.
*What you might see as the winds of adversity, are really spiritual opportunities to exercise your faith and to overcome.   Rise up and take advantage of every situation to prove the Lord’s existence and power in your life.  You do not belong to yourself; you belong to the  Lord, and He has given authority to those who are His.
The Lord has already gained the victory over Satan’s kingdom so that your victory is assured in all things/even failures.
1 John 5:4  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith.
1 John 4:4  My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world.

James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
*This scripture gives me hope and encouragement and confirmation. It confirms that what I am doing; giving and living my life for the Lord, and committing myself to him is not in vain. The reward is a great blessing called the crown of life!
Keys to victory in-spite of our failures!
*Never under estimate your enemy/ never under estimate your enemy
*Learn something from every failure.
*Fix what you can fix: trust God with the rest.
*Rely on one another(the Body)
*Stay hidden in Christ, and boldly use your spiritual weapons.

James 1 Verse 6. It says when you ask for wisdom you must believe and NOT DOUBT. It’s amazing how much we actually doubt without knowing it, not giving God full authority over our lives. When we do finally stop doubting and God is sovereign then things really start to change. God shows what He can do.
VERSE 12. If we come out on top through the trials we will be given the crown of life. Awesome.

2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
** Lord,this is one of the famous prayers of the Bible and one that transform our lives if we truly repent of our sins and humble ourselves and start walking with You. Thank YOU.
Christ  come first before we do anything. Transfer the old life and attitude into living for Christ. We once served ourselves, now it’s Christ’s turn. No more condemnation means eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
