Do you know that self defeat is the worse defeat there is? It is because it is sin against one's self even as it is a sin before God. Man, we are beings that are product of influences, everything informs us, but nothing influences us more than our own thought, word and attitude. Whatever is spoken over you has little influence as compared with same words coming from your mouth, cause what we say comes from within us, from the very depth of our being.
Today for example I almost ran myself by myself in self defeat and self pity because of a situation that unfold itself; what I was left in charge with was badly destroyed, as a matter of fact it cripped the whole service.
As time went by little by little I began to slip into depression and self defeat, I was slipping fast into a hole. I was pulled out from that hole almost immediately when a word was spoken to me from an unexpected channel, It was an elderly, most aged around; He told me directly and firm, he said "self defeat is a sin". I couldn't fathom how he knew what I was going through.
Today I was pulled up, at other times I picked myself up; whatever the case there should be a picking up, cause life will constantly try to put us down and make sure we stay there, so it has become imperative we master the art of picking up our self even when no one else is there to help pull us out. This is how champions are made, yes, champions are made not born. Invest today in making yourself a champion.
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed or have been brought down, this are sometimes factors we have no control over. But there is something you will always have control over; it is the choice to either dust yourself up and get up or the choice to remain down.
Rise up today, dig your heels down, hold firm, there is someone constantly watching over you; His name is Jesus, just give Him a chance and allow Him to work through you.
