Is
failure really failing for the Believers of Jesus Christ? I am convinced that
"failure" for the Believer is not the same as the secular
understanding or interpretation the world defines it as.
From
a secular perspective, failing means missing an assigned mark or goal or not
meeting a specific qualification.
Failure
for the Believer means that something is missing, or whatever it is that
we've considered being a failure is just part of a whole. Bottom line, SOMETHING
IS MISSING OR NOT COMPLETED!
Indulge
me for a few minutes as I unveil my understanding of this mystery. Biblical
spiritual law dictates the following, "And we know (The Believers) that
all things (Good and Bad) work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28
To understand this mystery of failure concerning the Believer. the
key resides in the phrase of the scripture mentioned above, "ALL
THINGS." All things are a combination of good and evil. Of course, as
Christians, we've been erroneously taught to assume that "all things"
suggest only good things. So, in essence, this scripture says that
GOOD+BAD or BAD+GOOD either way will=GOOD FOR THE BELIEVER! In any scenario, THE PHRASE "all things" suggests that no matter how the situation presents itself to the Believer. Its conclusion must benefit the Believer.
Therefore,
if what you're experiencing does not equal good, IT IS AN
INDICATOR THAT IT'S NOT THE END!
I
want to say to someone this morning who feels or has felt as if you're a failure
or others have labeled you as a failure, the term failure for you is just a red
flag SHOUTING.......... Something is missing, and for what
you or others have concluded as a failure, the proper connection must be
attached to your "failure," which will eventually produce good for
you!
To
seal this mystery, let's look at another spiritual law to bring
this baby home....... "In everything (Good & bad) give thanks: for
this is the WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU" 1 Thessalonians
5:18. In other words, we must view the fortunate and the unfortunate
experiences in our lives as a part of the overall plan of God to manufacture
the end result of good for our lives.
As I said, failure is a good thing if we understand
it from a biblical perspective which will always indicate that either something
is missing or whatever we've supposedly "failed" at is not completed, or it's not the end of the matter......... But in any event, good or bad, we must
thank God because not only is it his will for us at that particular time, but it
MUST CONCLUDE IN GOOD FOR US, THE BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST...........
For
we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect
(complete) is come (full understanding), then that which was in part shall be
done away with 1 Corinthians 13:9-10.
My
people are failing because they lack available knowledge, Hosea
4:6........
