Don’t stop bouncing back

Someone once asked Henry Ford (who was once the richest man) what he would do if he lost everything. He replied, “I will get it all back in less than five years.”

The man, who gets up every time he falls, and persists when everyone else gives up, has not failed. God uses persistence to overcome anything, even the law of nature. If you don’t believe it, ask Peter in Luke 5:5.You need the bulldog tenacity in the face of what appears to be overwhelming defeat. In business, you cannot succeed more than you can persist in the face of obstacles. Isaac would have failed, if he had not persisted when the Philistines were trying to stop him. (Gen 26:12-22.)
_“FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES AND RISE AGAIN”. PROV
24:17

Successful business people keep bouncing back into the RING, until they win. If Peter had not obeyed Jesus, that would have been his last day in the market place. He ‘refired’ when he was expected to retire.Obstacles will always give way to anyone with unshakable determination.
You need to develop your capacity to withstand pressure in the marketplace. You can’t succeed in business until you develop the ability to bounce back.

Your ability to bounce back can weary your oppositions in the marketplace. Isaac was tenacious and persistent in the face of angry Philistines that wanted to stop him. If you are at the verge of giving up,I encourage you to give more instead. I know the economy of the country is not encouraging now, but I also know God can make a way.

Despite our economy, there are a lot of thriving businesses in our country. Those thriving business owners have one thing in common: PERSISTENCE. In business, your capacity to persist will determine your capacity for success. There are no limits to how far you can succeed, except the ones you place on yourself.

“NEXT TO THEM, WE FELT LIKE GRASSHOPPER AND THAT’S WHAT THEY THOUGHT TOO.” NUM 13:33B (NLT)
You need to avoid feelings that devalue you in your pursuit. You need to consciously fuel your capacity to persist with the following:
(A) YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR BUSINESS: This helps you to withstand overwhelming pressure.
(B) YOUR FAITH IN THE WORD: You must know what God is saying and have faith in it. “LET US HOLD TIGHTLY WITHOUT WAVERING TO THE HOPE WE HAVE FOUND.” HEB 10:23B
(C) SEE THE END FROM THE BEGINNING: You must see beyond what appears to be defeat at the moment.
“DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING” ISA 46:10. FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE JESUS, HE ENDURED THE CROSS. (HEB 12:2).

Jesus was able to overcome all the hurdles, because His eyes were on the joy that was set before Him. Success comes one step at a time, after series of failures in the market place. If Peter didn’t bounce back after his series of failure, he would never have succeeded in his business.
(Luke 5:5).

Isaac persisted in the face of angry opposition before he got to his Rehoboth (the place of Increase). Every successful businessperson has bulldog tenacity in the face of what appears to be overwhelming defeat.

Are you going through your season of failures and disappointments and about to give up? This is coming to you at the right time to encourage you to bounce back and go for it. Many of you are closer to your breakthrough in business than you imagine. Keep keeping on. All you need to do is to continue to bounce back until you win. I pray that you will get up wherever you have fallen in the past. I pray that God will strengthen you to overcome your current obstacles in business. You will excel against all odds.
