There
are many examples of people who had the tools and resources to succeed, but
failed because of the negative character or “spirit” they possessed. As one saying goes; “Even if you’re on the right
track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there!”
When talking
about a person’s “spirit”, we mean the type of character they possess. For example; there are those of fearful
character, unsure of themselves, conforming character etc. on the other hand there are those who are
brave, risk-takers and determined.
By this time, you should already know
life is NOT easy, there’s adversity and roadblocks in the way of success. A successful future is not achieved from one
moment to the next (it’s important to note how many people are dependants of
games of chance and luck for their success.
Such as lottery, casino and gambling) God himself put in us the spark to
ignite a supernatural faith. Making us fighters, soldiers, never wanting to
give up! The devil knows this, that’s
why he struggles to keep us away from God’s word and His promises. Just as the king of Egypt kept the Israelites
under harsh slavery, he knew that they were a mighty nation and great in
numbers, so what did he do to keep them under his command? He broke their
“spirit”. The Israelites lived under
physical and emotional oppression, as the Bible states:
“My spirit is broken, My days are
extinguished, The grave is ready
for me..” Job 17:1
In order to have success and prosperity
in life, you must have the right attitude.
That’s why it’s so important to seek the presence of God in our
lives. Only He can uplift us with His
word and renew our strength with His Spirit.
The true overcomer is the person that receives the Holy Spirit. That is how God can help a person have great
vision, maintain a pact with Him and be brave to face and overcome whatever
life throws at him. Read the passage
below and meditate on it closely:
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the
world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith" I John
5:4
