IS FAILURE REALLY FAILING FOR THE BELIEVER?

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........

Breaking The Cycles Of Failure And Defeat In Your Life!

Scripture says to us that God instructed Elijah to leave Brook Cherith, where he was presently located
to go to Zarephath, where God had commanded a widow to sustain him, 1 Kings 17:1-24

In the above scripture from 1 Kings 17:9, Elijah had run out of provisions, and the brook had dried up. God then commanded a widow who was experiencing poverty and unable to sustain herself. Despite unfavorable circumstances, both parties followed God's instructions, changing their cycles to favorable conditions. I recommend reading the entire text for a better understanding.

Question! What negative cycle has repeatedly been going on in your life, but God's solution and instructions did not meet your expectations? As a result, you continued in the same vein of failure, expecting things to change.

I don't know who this message is for today, but the cycles of negativity in your life will never change until you decide to follow the INSTRUCTIONS that God had initially conveyed to you. I am sure your sickening situation is evidence of that. Scripture clearly said to us that when the widow of Zarephath sustained Elijah with the last of what she had as crazy as that may have appeared, Elijah, herself, and her house did eat for many days. Scripture goes on to say the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail according to the WORD OF THE LORD, (the instructions of God) which he spoke by Elijah 1 Kings 17:15-16.

Please! Make up your mind today to do what God has asked of you, and sit back and watch the patterns and cycles of negativity come to an end only to make room for the positive that has been eluding you! The negative dislike cycles of defeat, failure, broken relationships, being at the bottom, taken advantage of, and the like can only be challenged by specific instructions from God Almighty, who scripture says knows the end of all things from their beginnings.
